Cost-benefit analysis of aircraft design for environment using a fleet perspective and real options
Traditional multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) approaches do not examine the costs associated with damage due to environmental factors and are usually implemented to examine one aircraft. The Environmental Design Space (EDS), an MDO tool, needs cost models that can incorporate the damage …

Data Representation Methods For Environmentally Conscious Product Design
The challenge of holistically integrating environmental sustainability considerations with design decision-making requires novel representations for design and sustainability-related data that allow designers to understand correlations among them. Challenges such as (1) lack of suitable data & …

Three essays on product design for the environment
Design is a powerful instrument by which the world is forged to satisfy the needs of mankind. As the awareness and pursuit of sustainability increases, we have seen the transition from “design for needs” to “design for environment”. Design for the Environment (DfE) requires manufacturers to focus …
