You may adopt one or more of the following
Green Engineering principles
Hazards |
Designers
should ensure that all inputs and
outputs are nonhazardous. |
Treatment |
Designers should
prevent waste rather than treating or
cleaning up waste. |
Consumption |
Designers
should minimize energy and material
consumption. |
Efficiency |
Designers should
always aim to maximize efficiency. |
Complexity |
Designers
should view easing complexity as an
investment. |
Durability |
Designers should
targeted durability as a goal. |
Material |
Designers
should minimize
material
diversity. |
Renewable |
Designers
should consider renewable energy sources
rather than depleting. |
Commercial |
Designers
should consider
performance in a commercial domain. |
