Green Design Tools
• Mass balance analysis
• Green indices
• Design for disassembly and recycling aids
• Risk analysis
• Material selection and label advisors
• Full cost accounting methodologiesIntroduction to Green Design, By Chris Hendrickson, Noellette Conway-Schempf, Lester Lave and Francis McMichael, Green Design Initiative, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA
![Page 16: 1 Green Engineering Jess Everett A number of the slides were adopted from a presentation by Dr. Robert Hesketh](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d535503460f94a2ed92/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Mass balance analysis
• Trace materials or energy in and out of an analysis area – manufacturing process or plant,
watershed…
• Ideally based on measured inflows, inventories, and outflows– problems with data availability and
consistency
![Page 17: 1 Green Engineering Jess Everett A number of the slides were adopted from a presentation by Dr. Robert Hesketh](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d535503460f94a2ed92/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Green Indices
• Summarize various environmental impacts into simple scale– E.g., compare pound mercury dumped into
the environment with pound dioxin?– Designer compares green score of
alternatives and choose one with minimal environmental impact
– Provide at least rudimentary guidance in choosing materials, components, or processes
![Page 18: 1 Green Engineering Jess Everett A number of the slides were adopted from a presentation by Dr. Robert Hesketh](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d535503460f94a2ed92/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Design for disassembly and recycling aids
• Making products that can be taken apart easily for subsequent recycling and parts reuse– Kodak’s ‘disposal’ cameras snap apart, allowing
87% of the parts (weight) to be reused or recycled – DFD/R acts as a driver for recycling and reuse
• Disassembly $ may exceed value of materials– DFD/R software generally calculate potential
disassembly pathways, point out fastest pathway, and reveal obstacles to disassembly that can be "designed out"
![Page 19: 1 Green Engineering Jess Everett A number of the slides were adopted from a presentation by Dr. Robert Hesketh](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d535503460f94a2ed92/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Risk analysis
• Tracing through chances of different effects occurring– E.g., risk of toxic emissions estimated by
• estimating amount and type of emissions• transport in the environment• ecological and human exposure• likely damage (such as cancer) as a percent
– All steps have uncertainty– Integrate effects over several media
• air, water and land

23
Material selection
• Different materials can produce a particular quality component or product, but with different environmental implications
• Material selection guidelines attempt to guide designers towards the environmentally preferred material
![Page 24: 1 Green Engineering Jess Everett A number of the slides were adopted from a presentation by Dr. Robert Hesketh](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d535503460f94a2ed92/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Material Selection Principles
• Graedel and Allenby [1995] – Use abundant, non-toxic materials where
possible– Use materials familiar to nature (e.g. cellulose),
rather than man-made (e.g. chlorinated aromatics)
– Minimize number of materials used in product or process
– Try to use materials that have an existing recycling infrastructure
– Use recycled materials where possible
![Page 25: 1 Green Engineering Jess Everett A number of the slides were adopted from a presentation by Dr. Robert Hesketh](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d535503460f94a2ed92/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Label advisors
• Marks on materials or products that reveal information about material content relevant to environment or conservation – Plastic identification symbol that can be used
in plastics resorting and recycling efforts– Eco-labels provide “unbiased” appraisal of
environmental benefits of products • Recycled Content, Energy Saving, Organic, Pest
Management, Social Responsibility, Sustainable Agriculture, Sustainable Fishing, Animal Welfare, Sustainable Wood
![Page 26: 1 Green Engineering Jess Everett A number of the slides were adopted from a presentation by Dr. Robert Hesketh](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d535503460f94a2ed92/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Full cost accounting methodologies
• Provide methods to account for ALL costs associated with a product, process, activity– Companies may incur high costs from using a material or
process that creates environmental problems when an environmentally benign material or process exists
– Consumers purchase products that create environmental problems because they do not know about green alternatives
• Example: protect bolt from corrosion– plate with cadmium or use stainless steel bolt
• purchase price of the two bolts • additional costs to the company of using a toxic material
