N2 - How to reduce energy consumption has been increasingly investigated during the past decades. Smart-Home is an opportunity to design solutions helping people to reduce their consumption. Eco-feedback is one solution among others that allows householders to experience new energy management in their home. From the literature, we acknowledge that appropriation of eco-feedback increases energy literacy and behavior changes. However, it is difficult to maintain them in the long-term. In our study, we focus on householders' needs and viewpoints to design solutions. By focusing on real activity and lived experience, Ergonomics can reveal the evolving dynamics of the relationship between the actors and the sociotechnical environment. We designed a longitudinal qualitative study with regular interviews focused on the subjective experience of the domestic activities with eco-feedback technologies.
