| description abstract | Leaduser methods were applied to develop product design principles that encourage resourceconscious behavior in individuals. Old Order Mennonites (OOMs) were chosen as lead users because of their lowresource consumption lifestyles. Ethnographic analysis revealed that discretizing resource consumption facilitates and encourages conservation behaviors in OOMs. An experimental study demonstrated the effectiveness of discretization in reducing water consumption by nonOOMs. We then generated concepts for products that applied discretization and tested them with users. Concepts were revised and a prototype for saving water was created. | |
