  abstract = {For infrastructure energy efficiency to reach its full potential, new and improved ways for occupants to engage with their energy use are needed. Despite the recent advancements in eco-feedback systems, strategies to increase motivation and user engagement in these systems remain primitive for a number of reasons. Improving the efficiency of user-driven energy conservation actions requires improvements in the delivery of energy consumption feedback, and methods that trigger occupant engagement with infrastructure data within eco-feedback systems. One approach to achieve increased engagement is through integrating feedback solutions with social networking platforms. This will enable feedback systems to address a larger population and to utilize persuasive engagement approaches such as: customized awareness, engagement motivations, and time/location-sensitive alerts. In this paper, we explore potential interactions between the occupants, infrastructure, and eco-feedback systems to examine the relevance of exploiting social media to increase user engagement in energy conservation actions. We examine the applicability and effectiveness of four eco-feedback systems from an occupant engagement perspective and identify gaps in these interactive systems. Finally, we propose a dynamic and interactive approach to feedback to enhance infrastructure energy efficiency.},
