  title = {A lifestyle-based scenario for U.S. buildings: Implications for energy us},
  abstract = {<p>Can lifestyle-based scenarios provide insight into the nature of energy use in our future buildings?  Participants in a  design charrette brainstormed ideas about the future of US homes and workplaces. The  teams started from several descriptions of daily lifestyles, and developed specific building characteristics as  the place settings for these narratives. In addition to characterizing the physical environment, the teams also  identified the forces that would be influential in making these changes. Further reflection was made on the  possible unintended consequences of these changes. The energy implications of these changes were  characterized with respect to magnitude and direction. While acknowledging the speculative nature of the  exercise, the rationale was to broaden the discussion on future energy use by looking at future scenarios in  the context of everyday life.</p>},
