Design For Environment

Green Design
Decision making during the design process is a critical for the achievement of environmental goals. It has been estimated that 70% or more of the life cycle cost of typical product is determined during the design (USNRC,1991)
Designed is complicated and a premium on rapid decision making

Preparation Assignment
Think about the environmental impact of the product and services we use
Identify a product or service with reduce environmental impact

Example of product :
-Patagonia Clothing
-Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair
-Dunlop Recycled Wellington Boots
-Freitag Bags

Environmental Impacts:

Global Warming,Resource Depletion,Solid Waste,Water Pollution,Air Pollution,Land Degradation.

Design For Environment
Is a method to minimize or eliminate environmental impacts of a product over it’s life cycle.






Life Cycle Assesment (LCA)




Life Cycle Assessment:
A systematic set of procedures for compiling and examining the inputs and outputs of materials and energy and the associated environmental impacts directly attributable to the functioning of a product or service system throughout its life cycle.





Steps in LCA analysis :
  - Prepare proposed design options
-         -  Identify life cycle,including recycling and disposal
-          - Identify all materials and energy sources used
-          - Identify outputs and waste streams
-          - Quantify impacts of each material,energy,waste
-          - Aggregate impact into categories for comparison
