Low Carbon Design Project - First Consultation 9a【DOC精选】.doc

Low Carbon Design - First Consultation The Brief: Design Direction I Mainly looks at the production process, cutting carbon emission via use of new technology and renewable energy. Through optimizing the design on product structure/components, upgrading manufacturing infrastructure to achieve CO2 reduction. Look at the mechanic design of production line, space requirement and product transportation. Design Direction II Mainly look at the recycling reuse of after-life products. Design Direction III Look at the services being provided to a product during its life cycle (manufacturing, sells, use and after use) suggest on new mode of product service. Team A You need to consider the detail of the Design Directions more carefully. For any product, consider: Real carbon emission savings The user and potential market Lifecycle More radical thinking Fridge energy saving concept Look at what is on the market already in domestic and commercial situations Need to consider the user. Why would they want these improvements? Reducing carbon emissions is essential to protect your future. Be more ambitious and radical in your thinking. Water saving concept Need to consider any detergents that may be in the waste water. Why should anyone adopt this system? Can it be easily retrofitted onto existing sinks? Is water metering an issue in China? Nice sketches on Slide 9. Dehumidifier concept How much water does the dehumidifier produce and is it more than plants are likely to need? Who would be the customer for this? Electricity saving reminder Look at products on the market already (there are several in the UK) Why would people want this product? Radiator Look at what is on the market already Shower Think about your user. Who would install this shower? How can you make the experience to water saving desirable? Is there water metering in China? If not will it come soon? Would it come from legislation? Could the unit be remanufactured? What would the business m
