| Summary: | 碩士 === 樹德科技大學 === 生活產品設計系碩士班 === 104 === The economic development and technological advancement have increased productivity and shortened time course, but they have also consumed much energy around the world. Therefore, both domestic and foreign governmental institutions have been advocating the concept of green technology through various channels, with the hope of arousing human’s concern about environment. In Taiwan, the number of newly-built colleges has increased rapidly due to the change in the policies about higher education, which has resulted in increasing electricity consumption in colleges; hence, it is imperative to save the energy in the teaching field and the facilities on campus. Aside from developing the efficient energies which have less impact on environment and cause less pollution, how to change the existing equipment or teaching field to reduce the energy consumption, the greenhouse effect and carbon emission on campus? This is the focus of this study. In the publicity of environmental protection, some scholars suggest that we should return to the humanistic spirit and the people-oriented spirit and show concern about human and society, so as to strike a balance between the humanistic development and technological advancement. To arouse the sense of happiness deeply rooted in the heart of people, the orange technology, which emphasizes human orientation and humanistic concern, has been developed to inject happiness, health and concern into society. In this way, a more complete technological mission and innovative integration will be achieved with the help of the two technologies. Against such a backdrop, this study adopted the concepts of orange and green technologies and took the intelligent tutoring field as the space and the design of energy-saving products as the subject to establish the design mode architecture of integrated thinking. Meanwhile, it proposed the “design and development procedure of the energy-saving products in the intelligent tutoring field” on the basis of overall consideration and combined it with the survey on the current teaching field, the conceptual development and design of energy-saving products, and the selection and analysis of design schemes, so as to design and develop the energy-saving products in the high-quality intelligent tutoring field in a complete and efficient way. Moreover, design and technology were taken into account to keep the balance between reason and sensibility, and the foresighted information and communication technologies were converted into foresight conceptual products through “perception and review” and design, so as to effectively establish a high-quality intelligent tutoring field and develop energy-saving products. Therefore, this study is sure to create substantial benefits in power saving on campus and implement the strategy of popularizing the knowledge of energy conservation and carbon reduction.
According to the research results, (1) the survey on the college students’ behaviors of energy conservation and carbon reduction in the current teaching field showed that air conditioner, light and fan were the top 3 power-consuming devices. The students showed a positive understanding of and attitude towards energy conservation and carbon reduction; conversely, they demonstrated a weak behavioral intention of energy conservation and carbon reduction. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the actual energy conservation effect of the products and their appeal to students. (2) In the conceptual development of energy-saving products, the scenario approach was adopted for the scenario simulation and evaluation of the users of the teaching field to obtain the directions and concepts suitable for products to be improved in terms of energy conservation. This result shows that the external design of buildings consume much energy except relevant indoor appliances, especially the window-opening rate which seriously affects the load of air conditioner and lighting. Therefore, the energy-saving design will focus on the window system and the surrounding facilities, which will not only improve the indoor lighting but also reduce energy consumption. Meanwhile, a “scenario blueprint of a high-quality intelligent tutoring field” can be made to serve as a reference for the future planning of an teaching field. (3) In the conceptual design of energy-saving products, 23 design factors were obtained from the literature and review and the data collection; then, the Fuzzy Delphi Method employed to select 13 product design norms and the fuzzy interpretation structure mode was used to find out the structural relevance among the design factors and draw a diagram of relevance among design factors which would be used in the conceptual design of energy-saving products. (4) In the structural relation diagram, the main issues included appropriate window-opening pattern, architectural aesthetics, and technological reliability; the main objectives comprised durability, safety of use, and insect resistance. According to the MICMAC diagram, vision demand, sunshade design, sound proofing, heat insulation, energy-saving glass, the application of high-quality metal materials, and the consideration of cost were autonomous factors; appropriate window-opening pattern, architectural aesthetics, and technological reliability were subordinate factors; durability, safety of use, and insect resistance were driving factors. (5) The above research results were adopted in the design and development of energy-saving products, and 4 energy-saving windows and relevant new products were developed. For an effective and objective selection of design concept, this study collected 18 scoring criteria of the domestic and foreign competitions of energy conservation and chose 10 indexes with the Fuzzy Delphi Method; then, the fuzzy hierarchical analysis was employed to obtain the weights of the indexes. The top 5 indexes were energy conservation and carbon reduction (26.8%), efficiency (15.5%), innovation (15.1%), practicability (9.8%), and product feasibility (6.3%). These were taken as the criteria of concept evaluation to select appropriate energy-saving products.
According to the above achievements, this study focused on a high-quality intelligent tutoring field and proposed several innovative foresighted energy-saving products and conceptual schemes of high-quality instruction space planning to achieve a more convenient, comfortable and secure low-carbon campus life. It has not only made substantial contribution to the development of the energy-saving product design industry but also reduced power consumption and raised students’ awareness of energy conservation and carbon reduction at schools, thus fulfilling the objective of saving energy in the whole society, popularizing the knowledge of energy conservation, and protecting the earth through joint efforts.
