Biopsychosocial Assessment and Ergonomics Intervention for Sustainable Living: A Case Study on Flats This study proposes an ergonomicsbased approach for those who are living in small housings (known as flats) in Indonesia. With regard to human capability and limitation, this research shows how the basic needs of human beings are captured and analyzed, followed by proposed designs of facilities and standard living in small housings. Ninety samples were involved during the study through indepth interview and facetoface questionnaire. The results show that there were some proposed of modification of critical facilities (such as multifunction ironing work station, bed furniture, and clothesline) and validated through usability testing. Overall, it is hoped that the proposed designs will support biopsychosocial needs and sustainability.

Householder experiences with resource monitoring technology in sustainable homes The use of feedback technologies, in the form of products such as Smart Meters, is increasingly seen as the means by which u0027consumersu0027 can be made aware of their patterns of resource consumption, and to then use this enhanced awareness to change their behaviour to reduce the environmental impacts of their consumption.  These technologies tend to be singleresource focused (e.g. on electricity consumption only) and their functionality defined by persons other than endusers (e.g. electricity utilities).  This paper presents initial findings of endusersu0027 experiences with a multiresource feedback technology, within the context of sustainable housing.  It proposes that an understanding of user context, supply chain management and market diffusion issues are important design considerations that contribute to technology u0027successu0027.
