Energy Footprint Mapping Analysis-Based Energy Saving Product Design Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

Energy-consumption during a produce, especially an energy-used product, performances its function in its using phrase, can arise sets of environmental problem [1], which is the key problem faced by an energy-used product design engineer during a sustainable design process. This paper proposes an essential energy flow analysis methodology. Based on the product components structures units, this methodology built up the relationships between the component energy properties and its functional properties, in order to identify and describe the main energy-related parameter as well as a functional design process. A case of juicer design process illustrates that energy footprint mapping analysis methodology is of great energy-saving efficient during the early phrases of a product design process.
