The document provides details on the structure and components of the SDO toolkit and how it can be integrated into the design process to increase sustainability.
6.2 sustainability system design tools vezzoli 14-15 (34)LeNS_slide
This document describes two sustainability-orienting system design tools: the Sustainability Design-Orienting (SDO) toolkit and the Sustainability Interaction Story-Spot. The SDO toolkit is a modular software that guides designers in evaluating existing systems, identifying best practices, generating sustainable ideas, and checking concepts against sustainability criteria. The Sustainability Interaction Story-Spot visually depicts key stakeholder interactions that improve sustainability criteria through images and short texts. Both tools integrate into the design process to increase orientation of concepts toward sustainable outcomes.
The document discusses approaches to system design for eco-efficiency. It describes three main approaches: 1) satisfaction-system, which designs all products and services associated with fulfilling a customer demand or satisfaction; 2) stakeholder interactions, which focuses on innovative partnerships between socio-economic stakeholders; and 3) sustainability-oriented systems, which designs the system to optimize criteria like the life of products, reduction of transportation, resources, waste, and toxins. It provides methods and tools to guide system design towards more eco-efficient solutions through analyzing stakeholders and contexts and generating sustainability-oriented ideas.
Design And Sustainability by Carlo Vezzoli 09.09.09LeNS Africa
The document provides an introduction to design for sustainability, covering several key topics:

2. It explores the evolving role of design in sustainability from reducing environmental impact to system innovation. Product life cycle design and system design for eco-efficiency are introduced.
3. Methods and tools for product and system design for sustainability are summarized, including Life Cycle Assessment and various frameworks developed at Polimi.
4. The potential for system design to address social equity and cohesion through locally-based, networked product-service systems is discussed.
3.2 system design for social equity vezzoli 11-12 (29)LeNS_slide
This document provides an overview of system design for social equity and cohesion. It defines system design for social equity and cohesion as designing an eco-efficient system of products and services to fulfill customer demand based on designing stakeholder interactions. It discusses approaches to system design for social equity including designing the satisfaction system, stakeholder configuration, and ensuring system sustainability. It also outlines criteria for system design for social equity and cohesion such as improving employment, enabling responsible consumption, and favoring marginalized groups.
1.3 Evolution Of Sustainability Within DesignLeNS_slide
The document discusses the evolution of sustainability within design. It describes four key approaches: 1) Use of low impact materials/energies, 2) Product life cycle design/ecodesign, 3) (Product-service) system design for eco-efficiency, and 4) Design for social equity and cohesion. For each approach, it provides examples of methods and tools developed to help implement them. It also summarizes some applied research projects conducted by Polimi/DIS in system design for sustainability.

Flat packed and easy assembled stool - King & Webbon.pptxLeNS_slide
The flat-packed lab stool can be assembled in less than 15 minutes using an allen wrench. It is made from sustainably sourced beech ply in the UK. The stool is stackable, making it suitable for small spaces. The lab stool collaboration between King & Webbon design studio and the Science Museum aims to create furniture designed to last rather than be disposable through its flat-pack design that can be assembled on-site to reduce transportation energy consumption and packaging waste.
The document discusses sustainable energy access for all as essential for sustainable development. It outlines that over 1 billion people lack electricity access and over 2 billion rely on inefficient and polluting biomass for cooking. Distributed renewable energy (DRE) is presented as a promising model to achieve universal access through small-scale, decentralized energy generation near the point of use, often from solar, wind and other renewable sources. DRE can help transition away from unsustainable centralized fossil fuel systems towards greater environmental, social and economic sustainability.
This document outlines a design exercise for students to develop sustainable product-service systems (S.PSS) that provide distributed renewable energy (DRE) for households in African communities. Students will design systems for eating or clothing care in villages/townships in Botswana, Uganda, South Africa, or Kenya. The exercise involves analyzing the context, generating ideas, and developing system concepts. Students will consider environmental, socio-ethical, and economic sustainability dimensions. They will create system maps, interaction tables, and storyboards to illustrate their concepts. The goal is to design DRE systems that provide essential household functions through sustainable energy access for communities.
6.4 sustainable for all design orienting toolsLeNS_slide
This document provides an overview of tools and methods for designing sustainable distributed renewable energy (DRE) systems oriented towards achieving sustainable energy for all. It describes a sustainable design orienting scenario (SDOS) approach for generating ideas for product-service systems applied to DRE in low and middle income contexts. The SDOS uses scenario narratives, videos and diagrams to inspire idea generation. It also outlines several forms and online databases for evaluating energy needs, production potential, and dimensions for a proposed DRE system concept. The tools are intended to guide the design process from idea generation through concept development and evaluation.
The document describes three tools for system design for sustainability: the stakeholder system map, interaction table, and satisfaction offering diagram. The stakeholder system map visually maps out the stakeholders in a system and their interactions through flows of materials, information, finances, and labor. The interaction table and storyboard tools are used to design and visualize the functioning of a system over time through narratives and images of interactions between stakeholders. The satisfaction offering diagram maps out what satisfactions or benefits a system offers to different stakeholder groups.

5.1 sustainable energy for all vezzoli 14-15_(34)LeNS_slide
The document discusses the importance of sustainable energy for all as a key enabler of sustainable development. It argues that distributed renewable energy (DRE) systems offer a promising model for achieving sustainable energy for all through a paradigm shift away from centralized non-renewable energy systems. DRE involves small-scale energy generation from renewable resources like solar and wind located near the point of use. Sustainable product-service systems (S.PSS) are also presented as a business model that could facilitate widespread adoption of DRE by reducing costs and giving access to necessary goods and services.
5.2 system design for sustainable energy for all vezzoli 14_15_(29)LeNS_slide
This document proposes a sustainability design-orienting scenario (SDOS) for applying a product-service system (PSS) to distributed renewable energy (DRE) systems. It presents 4 visions for how a PSS approach could provide sustainable energy access for all. The visions include: 1) DRE systems and daily life energy products provided to individuals/communities in exchange for periodic payments, 2) DRE systems provided to power small businesses' equipment in exchange for periodic payments, 3) DRE systems and packages of energy products provided to individuals/communities where payment is based on product usage, and 4) Packages of DRE systems and startup equipment provided to entrepreneurs to launch businesses where payment is based on periodic fees.

PSS MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
ROOTED IN A SATISFACTION-BASED ECONOMIC MODEL
each offer is developed/designed and delivered in relation to a
particular customer “satisfaction” (unit of satisfaction)
STAKEHOLDER INTERACTIONS-BASED INNOVATION
radical innovations, not so much as technological ones, as
new interactions/partnerships between the stakeholders of a
particular satisfaction production chain (life cycle/s)
INTRINSIC ECO-EFFICIENCY POTENTIAL
innovation in which is the company/companies’ economic and
competitive interest that may leads to an environmental
impact reduction (system eco-efficiency: decoupling the
creation of value from resources consumption)

SYSTEM DESIGN FOR ECO-EFFICENCY:
A DEFINITION
“the design of the system of products
and services that are together able to
fulfil a particular customer demand
(deliver a “unit of satisfaction”), based
on the design of innovative interactions
of the stakeholders (directly and
indirectly linked to that “satisfaction”
system) where the economic and
competitive interest of the providers
continuously seeks environmentally
beneficial new solutions.”

8. Carlo Vezzoli
Politecnico di Milano / DESIGN dept. / DIS / School of Design / Italy
SATISFACTION UNIT:
(a car):
functional unit: trasportation of 1 persosn per 1 km
(possible with a car)
satisfaction unit 1: 1 person having access to his/her working
space (per 1 year)
satisfaction unit 2: 1 person having access to public services
delivering personal documents (per 1 year)
. ...
(possible even with other mixes of products and services)
a satisfaction unit require an approach at the same time:
. deeper (more products, services, stakeholders to be considered)
. more narrow (looking at one particular customer satisfaction)
