decoupling resource impact?

Demonstrate eco-innovation in LED
technologies through decoupling critical
material consumption from the economic
potential of LED technologies.
cycling resources embedded in systems
containing Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
12. Philip Harfield 2014
why LEDs: necessary complexity!
• 7 materials
• Manufacturing energy 42MJ
(per 20M lumen-hours)
• Use energy 60W
• 30+ materials (17 in LED chip)
• Manufacturing energy 343 MJ
(per 20M lumen-hours)
• Use energy 12.5W
(DOE 2012, DEFRA 2009)

21. Philip Harfield 2014
many eco-innovation challenges:
• The rapid ‘innovation’ rate of LED technologies inhibits
long term thinking (controlled via IP)
• Lifecycle uncertainty within design brief - substitution
vs. recycling (return on investment or extended payback)
• Technology foresight -hydro vs. pyro-
metallurgy, market demand for eco-innovation
• Open innovation: competitive environment prevents
collaboration between organisations
• Business resource requirements (finance, capabilities,
competencies)
• Rebound - application ‘innovation’ may offset any
efficiency gains?
barriers to change / adoption
22. Philip Harfield 2014
cycLED: first steps to possible solutions
• Define the collaborative landscape:
– pooled knowledge & solutions?
– shared costs & value?
– innovation platforms (within competitive arena)?
• Develop models & tools to valorize radical business model
innovation (TCO vs. TVO)
• Develop evaluation criteria for successful eco-innovative
products (success = product & systems value for
Reusability, Recoverability, Durability, Dematerialization
etc.)
• Development of technical design rules for critical resource
efficient products & non-technical system rules for value
chain!
23. Philip Harfield 2014
There are many design led ‘solutions’ promising
much
• Optimised Product – resource conservation
• Extended life product – resource consumption
• Second life product – resource reuse
• End of Life product - resource recovery

lifecycle scenario
What use is technical longevity if:
• The building requires a refit after 5 years wear and tear - lost
‘newness’
• The hotel undertakes a rebrand or changes ownership - existing
lights are not inline with the incoming brand
• The hotel moves and the building is to be converted into apartments.
Does this mean we need:
• To offer ‘as new’ products underpinned by warrantees & incentives
(cash-back), explore durability & refurbishment strategies?
• Business tools to quantifying / communicate value of transferable/
flexible ownership?
• Develop the business case (company motivations) for repair
services requirements: CBA – resource (staff, equip), infrastructure
(storage space), economies of scale (estimated quantities of
reusable products/components), technological support (smart tags),
additional service revenues (maintenance, control & monitoring)

Opportunity to ‘sell’ more?
Opportunity to ‘design’ more?
Doesn’t mean less work & fewer designer but
designers that like industry & society, step-up the
eco-innovation ladder!

WHAT IS ECO-INNOVATION
EU POLICY RESPONSE– despite rhetoric industry not responding, Low Carbon targets never met with BAU,
EcoAP (2011) Funding Framework 7, now Horizon 2020 (8 billion Euro) accelerate to market, SME uptake
FUNDAMENTAL:
ATTEMPT TO FIND SHARED VISION COLLISION OF TWO WORLDS ECONOMICS & ECOLOGY – (note many experts in this do have beards and wear suits)
ECO-INNOVATION = resource focus
HERE’S THE THING- you have to buy-into Euro Commission ideals capitalism and the need for economic growth (another time)
UNEP three approaches
a) changing the mix of resources used through substitution of more harmful by less harmful resources
b) using resources in a more environmentally benign way throughout the life cycle
c) reducing resource use. (UNEP, 2011)
Dr Fredrich Schmidt-Bleek material intensity in OECD countries should be reduced by a factor of ten (Weizsäcker et al., 1997).

This uncertainty is because future technological and market opportunities, policy and regulatory regimes cannot be accurately predicted. (O’Rafferty 2013)

GAPS IN UNDERSTANDING- REQUIREMENTS FOR DECOUPLING CRMS FROM LEDS
ASKING THE QUESTION - What is ECO-innovation in the lighting sector:
Traditionally product based on performance (user requirements/preferences (cheap to buy & run), market drivers (controllability, smart cities) policy drivers (low carbon/ energy efficiency)
WHY – LOW CARBON POTENTIAL UNDERMINED BY SUPPLY RESTRICTIONS
MARRIAGE WITHIN SOLID STATE LIGHTING = ELECTRONICS + LIGHTING SECTORS (as is our will to make complexity) necessary trade off to deliver LOW CARBON economy
Many time more embodied energy - Manufacturing Phase Primary Energy 42 - 343
Places imperatives on retaining this value – extended life, at EoL?

Why have you sabotaged upgradeability, recyclability?
is design for disassembly not viable?
are modular components not profitable?

Beyond luminous efficacy (Lumens per Watt)
Resource efficiency (lm/g) – Lumens per gram of material
Cost efficiency (lm/£)– Lumens per pound
Carbon efficiency (lm/Kg CO2) – Lumens per kilogram of CO2
Waste (lm/Kg HW) – Lumens per kilogram of hazardous waste
Wellbeing (lm/GNH/p) – Lumens per Gross National Happiness per person?

reality of intended (designed in) extended life product is compromised by the non-technical product attributes (aesthetics, image) and the built environment value systems in which it operates.
