Euroopan unionin alueella tavoitteena on olla hiilineutraali vuoteen 2050 mennessä. Ilman energiamarkkinoita lopullisesti muuttanutta sotaa Ukrainassakin eläisimme energia-alan muutoksen keskellä. Siirrymme aina vain vähemmän luontoa saastuttavia energiatuotantomuotoja kohti... Read »
In our research, we address a special domain among wearable computing, smart jewelry. We present our work-in-progress on co-designing smart jewelry concepts with children. In a design session, children (n=4) were asked to come up with a smart jewelry concept, which they could use when in Covid quarantine... Read »
The aim of this qualitative case study was to investigate how visual tools such as the double diamond (DD) model and persona cards can support the cross-disciplinary team members’ understanding of their roles in a digital service design process... Read »
This paper will investigate how professionals from the energy, real estate, and construction fields can update their knowledge regarding energy transition using service design and digital pedagogy, recognizing that these people will be working full-time. The Uusimaa has an aim to be carbon neutral by 2030, and this will require a change from the old ways of producing energy to new ways... Read »
Jatkuva oppiminen on tärkeää tekniikan aloilla. Ilmastonmuutos ja siihen liittyvät toimenpiteet ja uudet lait muuttavat tekniikan alojen työmahdollisuuksia ja koulutusta. Eri aloilla pyritään vähähiilisempään energiantuotantoon ja se on muuttanut alojen tuotantomuotoja. Uudelleen kouluttautuminen työn ohella on välttämätöntä työn pitämiseksi... Read »
Johdanto Uudellamaalla on tavoitteena olla hiilineutraali vuoteen 2030 mennessä. Tämä vaatii muutosta energiantuotantotapoihin muun muassa uusiutuvan energian tuotantoa lisäämällä ja kasvihuonekaa-supäästöjä tuottavan energiantuotannon minimoimisella... Read »
