Testimonial

"By constantly having their energy consumption displayed on the GreenTouchscreen®, our students are developing a new awareness of how their habits impact the environment. It also invokes a sense of energy competitiveness between the students that live there. Having the website available to the rest of the campus (and the world) sends a message of 'we care' in the sense of environmental stewardship."

The Home Depot Case Study

Client: The Home Depot – Atlanta, GA


Project:
Eco Options Microsite

Completion Date:
October, 2007 - View Press Release


Summary:

With The Home Depot’s debut of a new eco-friendly product line, they needed a way to interactively educate customers about the benefits of “green” products. They needed to break outside of the box to create awareness and excite people about helping the environment and saving money. The experts at Quality Attributes Software developed a microsite that does just that. With its friendly, interactive look and feel that customers enjoy using, The Home Depot easily creates awareness, not only for Eco Options, but for environmentally friendly practices.


The Problem Defined: (Business Situation):

The Home Depot is the world’s largest home improvement retailer and was named the 2007 ENERGY STAR® Retailer Partner of the Year. Their many environmental efforts have spanned from progressive consumer education programs, to a commitment to carry certified “green” products. In order to take that devotion further, The Home Depot created a new product line called Eco Options. This line consists of only environmentally friendly products including everything from compact fluorescent light bulbs to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood. Over 2,500 products currently make up the Eco Options line within its five categories: Sustainable Forestry, Energy Efficiency, Healthy Home, Clean Air, and Water Conservation.

With such an extensive line of products, The Home Depot found it necessary to create its own webpage. They needed a new site that would fit in with the new, stylish view of “green”. A fun, bold, innovative sight was necessary to create awareness for Eco Options that, at the same time, would educate customers on how much money they can save while saving energy and making a difference on the environment. With these high expectations, and the desire to break outside the box, The Home Depot found it imperative to bring in the experts at Quality Attributes Software, with their reputation of impressive graphics and animations coupled with the knowledge and experience of “green” education.


Solution Expectations: (Major Goals):

  • Educate customers about The Home Depot’s Eco Options program
  • Show customers how The Home Depot can help them improve energy efficiency, achieve cleaner water, reduce toxicity, achieve cleaner air and promote sustainable forestry
  • Show customers how they can save money by using green products
  • Show customers which products can help achieve this goal
  • Impress users



The solution:

Quality Attributes Software created a customized Flash based microsite, containing the five categories of Eco Options products. Within almost every section, interactive calculators allow users to calculate how much money, energy and pollution they will save by switching to that “green” product. Each page includes helpful information on different products at The Home Depot and how they are environmentally friendly. Purchasing information is also available to aid customers in their purchasing decisions. Beyond just product information, the site includes several Eco Options tools including online clinics, green project guides, an Eco Options virtual house and a personal energy audit.


Solution Benefits:

The main goal of The Home Depot, for the microsite, was to educate customers about green products and how they can help the environment from their own home. Going beyond basic education, Quality Attributes Software developed a site with friendly graphics, creating an inviting interface that people enjoy using. The simple navigation and functionality makes it easy for users to find what they need. With Eco Options products within each category found on one site, it makes the product search faster and more efficient. The new site also creates product recognition to those brands listed under the Eco Options label, not to mention the increased awareness of Eco Options in general due to the microsite.
