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:
Based on rising energy prices, stricter regulations of carbon dioxide emissions and a rising awareness for our environment, it is not sufficient to optimize energy consumption only during the utilization of products; production, including assembly, has to become more energy efficient, too. In order to reduce the energy demand, the later energy consumption must be considered early in the development of the production system. In these phases, characteristics that are responsible for the later energy consumption are predetermined. A methodology for the development of assembly systems that is aiming at energy efficiency is currently being developed by the authors. Both lifecycles, of product and the corresponding production system are examined and correlations worked out.
