Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Beside functionality, cost, quality, and so on, design engineers are facing a new challenge – the development of energy efficient products. Since especially in the early phases only few solid knowledge about the impacts of design alter¬natives on energy related figures like consumption, savings, or efficiency is available, the need for a systematic management of energy related knowledge is evident. For this purpose and on the basis of an integrated product development framework, the paper emphasizes the variety of energy related knowledge in product development, presents a concept for an energy related knowledge management and exemplifies its systematic identification, use, and development with help of development-concurrent energy calculations and a target energy management approach.
