In December 2021, we conducted an innovative workshop to investigate attitudes towards sounds in the house and how we feel towards them; different attitudes towards energy efficiency; and what these seemingly disparate aspects of life have in common.

We used a variety of methods to reflect on these topics including sound making and sound sketching; household energy-related scenarios derived and adapted from literature; and design fiction.

The workshop yielded interesting results, which we are currently analysing, and it was great fun!
