Know More: SLC March CEU
THE FOREST FOR THE TREES – A MULTI-ATTRIBUTE APPROACH WHEN
SELECTING “GREEN” PRODUCTS. MOST GREEN-MINDED SPECIFYING
PROFESSIONALS SELECT PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS BASED ON A LIMITED
SET OF ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES. THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF THIS
APPROACH IS ITS SIMPLICITY. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY LEAD
TO MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS.
THIS PRESENTATION ATTEMPTS TO GIVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF
THE LIFE CYCLE FRAMEWORK BY TAKING A HIGHER LEVEL APPROACH AND
USING EVERYDAY PRODUCT EXAMPLES AS ILLUSTRATIONS. THE GOAL IS TO
INSPIRE LONG TERM ENVIRONMENTAL THINKING AND TO PUT
ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT SPECIFICATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE
FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF DESIGN. CEU CREDITS: 0.1
