| Summary: | 碩士 === 大葉大學 === 設計暨藝術學院碩士班 === 97 === In order to reduce the influence of carbon emissions which result from industrial activities on the environment and ecology, a number of international organizations have commenced the forming of regulations to control carbon emissions. Among which the Guide to PAS 2050 and Kyoto Protocol have great importance to the industry worldwide; under the pressure of Carbon Disclosure and Carbon Tariffs, the impact on and the changes of product designs through the industry are issues that cannot be neglected. Up to 80 percent of the cost of development and manufacture is decided in the early design and development phase. In this early phase of product life cycle, designers have to take into consideration of environmental factors to discover potential Environmental Benefits and to decrease the cost of development. It is essential for companies to begin the control of product life cycle carbon emissions in the early phase of product design and development, and ergo boost energy-saving efficiency significantly. Companies which pay much attention to sustainable development all ask for raising ecological qualities from suppliers in the product supply chain by applying related regulations and laws.
This study extracted the carbon emission factors, by the analysis the life cycle of notebook computers with MET Matrix Analysis Method and the integration of the use of Green Design Checklists to execute the analysis of the life cycle of green products, for companies to design and develop energy-saving/carbon-reducing products. By sorting out key administration items from corporation sustainability reports and interviewing experts with Delphi method, the study also defined the key factors inside the promotions of the design and development of energy-saving/carbon-reducing products by companies. Lastly the study established energy-saving/carbon-reducing green design development checklists to provide companies with a method to examine carbon emissions during each phase of product life cycle at the early time of product development, and hence help companies to optimize sustainable/energy-saving design and manufacture.
