Here is a really neat and innovative solution to water conservation awareness. The simple idea of letting a person know how much water they are using, by visually showing them is a great idea. Just like the energy monitoring device, this one will help save water and money from your water bill. It also looks pretty darn good...
According to STATIC! here is how it works:
Heat is a form of energy that is often taken for granted, invisibly escaping from appliances, boiling water, lamps and radiators. Energy lost through heat may be visualized if artifacts communicate leakage in various ways. In the example ‘Disappearing-Pattern Tiles’, bathroom tiles are decorated with patterns in a thermo-chromic ink that reacts to heat, fading away to reflect splashes and intensities of hot-water use. The longer the shower, the less decoration on the wall! The architectural surface acts as a subtle reminder of personal energy use over time, reflecting the duration and waste of water during a shower.
