Synergico: a new "Design for Energy Efficiency" Method enhancing the Design of more environmentally friendly Electr(on)ic Equipments
Résumé
One strategy to face the challenge of energy consumption has been the promotion of more efficient products and infrastructures. For the electr(on)ic industry, in-use energy consumption is a significant contributor to environmental impacts of a product lifecycle. Synergico is a contribution to the Design for Energy Efficiency of electr(on)ic equipments focusing on the use phase. This paper presents one of the Synergico tools that verifies that a higher in-use energy efficiency indeed decreases the environmental impacts of the product lifecycle and our method to be articulated with corporate design processes. Both are illustrated with a case study from the industry.
