Christa Liedtke, Maria J. Welfens, Holger Rohn, Julia Nordmann · 2012 · International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education

Summary. This paper presents the conceptual design of LIVING LAB, a research infrastructure that tests sustainable home technologies with real users in actual households. The approach combines laboratory analysis with real-world household systems to develop and evaluate sustainable domestic innovations while prioritizing user needs and environmental performance. The infrastructure enables long-term, user-centered research on sustainable technologies in their actual contexts of use.
