Material inputs should be renewable rather than depleting. Before introducing finite resources, chemicals, or plastics into your development process consider the value of sustainable engineering practices to offset the negative side effects.
The design of products, processes, and systems must include integration and interconnectivity with available energy materials and flows. Learn how to integration mass and energy into your project design.
This overview of how to Maximize Efficiency will help you better understand how and where to place your energy generators weather you are designing for commercial or in-home use.
Diversity becomes an issue when considering end of-useful-life decisions. Learn about options for final disposition that are increased through up-front designs that minimize material diversity yet accomplish the needed functions.
Waste Prevention should be at the core of every green engineering project. Learn best practices and the many tools available to engineers and chemists to reduce the amount of waste that is formed in a process.
Green engineering approaches the design of products and processes by applying financially and technologically feasible principles. Learn how to apply these principles to your design.
