Development of a Tool for Integrated Life Cycle Assessment and Ecodesign of Electrical and Electronic Products
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the development of specifications for a tool that aims at ecodesigning electrical and electronic products. EIME is a Life Cycle Assessment and ecodesign software that was developed by an association of industrials in the nineties to support non-expert practitioners. The basic principle of this interface was to easily grasp the life cycle of Energy Using Products by using modeling codes that are familiar to the designer, such as tree views composed of containers (e.g. part, subassembly).
