The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The design of eco-feedback technology (2010, background): “(clockwise): JetSam: ambient display for trash [42]; PowerAware-Cord: ambient energy usage display [25]; WattBot: mobile phone home energy feedback [45]; Stepgreen: proenvironmental behavior tracking social website [38]; ThePowerHouse: resource ecofeedback in a virtual game environment [4]; Imprint:”
One size does not fit all: applying the transtheoretical model to energy feedback technology design (2010, background): “The ‘Power-Aware Cord’ [28] (Figure 1, left) is an electrical cord that visualizes electricity consumption by varying the pulse, flow, and intensities of light using electroluminescent wires.”
Designing eco-feedback systems for everyday life (2011, background): “Thus this type of feedback has a similar role to other ambient devices, such as those developed by the Static! project, including the Power-Aware cord which illuminates electricity consumption flows into appliances [6, 22].”
Serious games (2016, unknown): “Immersion and relatability is important for attracting a female audience [23], which in combination the importance of social interaction [17] led us to our fifth assumption, that a strong narrative would be needed to promote gameplay.”
