For this examination, 2 high energy consumption domestic appliances, TV and AC (Air Conditioner), are selected and considered how users' motivation and attitude change with/without eco-indications. It was confirmed that the necessity of careful selection of "IN PUT display" (visualizing a user"s activity) or "OUT PUT display" (visualizing the result of a user's activity) by a user's interest and characteristics of each appliance. On the other hand, it was revealed we couldn't get the effect of quick feedback without the consideration for visibility, understandability and appropriate changes.
