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.
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.
6.1 method for system design for sustainability vezzoli 14-15 (71)LeNS_slide
The document describes the MSDS (Method for System Design for Sustainability) method. It was created to support the design of sustainable product-service system solutions. The MSDS method involves several phases and tools to guide designers in strategically analyzing the context, generating ideas, and developing concepts for sustainable systems. It aims to be modular and adaptable to different design processes and projects. Key tools described include the Sustainability Design-Orienting toolkit to inspire sustainable solutions, and the Sustainability Interaction Story-Spot and System Map to visualize system interactions and configurations.

This document outlines the structure and content of a course on System Design for Sustainability taught by Carlo Vezzoli at Politecnico di Milano. The course includes both theoretical and practical components. The theoretical section will cover introductions to sustainable product systems and design methods. The practical section involves a group project to develop concepts for sustainable product-service systems for food services on campus. Recommended readings and online learning resources are also listed. The document provides background on the Learning Network on Sustainability (LeNS) project, which developed an open-source online platform for sharing materials on sustainable design.
This document provides guidelines for designing sustainable product-service systems applied to distributed renewable energy systems. It outlines various configurations for distributed renewable energy offers, such as stand-alone home systems, mini-grids connecting multiple systems, and systems connected to main grids. It also recommends complementing energy offers with lifecycle services like design, installation, maintenance, repair, upgrading, and end-of-life treatment. Further guidelines include offering ownerless energy systems with full services, using systems as enabling platforms, adding energy-using products, and delinking payment from pure energy consumption. The overall aim is to optimize distributed renewable energy configurations and make the systems more sustainable and affordable.
This document provides guidelines for designing sustainable product-service systems applied to distributed renewable energy systems. It suggests offering standalone and mini-grid DRE systems, complementing the DRE offer with lifecycle services, offering ownerless DRE systems with full services, and delinking payment from pure watt consumption to make costs more affordable. The guidelines are presented over six pages and cover optimizing DRE system configuration, complementing the offer with design, installation, and maintenance services, and adding energy using products to the offer.
This document provides guidelines for designing sustainable product-service systems (S.PSS) applied to distributed renewable energy (DRE) systems. It suggests 6 areas to focus on: 1) Optimizing DRE system configurations, 2) Complementing DRE offers with lifecycle services, 3) Offering ownerless DRE systems with full services, 4) Offering ownerless DRE systems as an enabling platform, 5) Adding ownerless energy-using products to DRE offers, and 6) Delinking payments from pure watt consumption to make costs more affordable. The overall aim is to provide sustainable energy access through optimized DRE system designs coupled with comprehensive lifecycle services.
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. The goal
4.2 system design for social equity vezzoli 14-15 (23) (n)LeNS_slide
This document discusses system design for social equity and cohesion. It defines system design as designing interactions between stakeholders in a system to fulfill customer demands in a sustainable way. It presents criteria for social equity and cohesion in system design, such as improving employment, enabling sustainable consumption, and empowering local resources. Methods and tools are needed to guide system design according to these criteria. The document also introduces an emerging methodology for system design for sustainability and a toolkit for sustainability design orientation.
4.1 towards social equity and cohesion vezzoli 14-15 (22)LeNS_slide
This document discusses approaches to promoting social equity and cohesion through system design. It proposes that product-service systems (PSS) and distributed economies (DE) are promising models, and that applying sustainable PSS approaches to DE could facilitate locally-based, small-scale sustainable opportunities for all contexts, including low-income areas. A key hypothesis presented is that a sustainable PSS approach applied to DE could help diffuse various forms of DE in low and middle-income contexts by fostering locally-based, networked small enterprises and initiatives that democratize access to sustainable resources.
1.2 evolution of sustainability in design vezzoli 14-15 (41) (n)LeNS_slide
This document discusses the evolution of sustainability within design. It describes how design's role has expanded over time from intervening on products and materials to intervening on entire systems and consumption patterns. Specifically, it outlines how design has progressed from focusing on low-impact materials in the 1970s to life cycle design and ecodesign in the 1990s to system design for eco-efficiency starting in the 2000s. The document also notes that while design's potential role in sustainability has increased over time, many within the design community still lack knowledge and skills related to design for sustainability.

34. Sufficiency economy’s way of thinking : Evaluate the situation with due consideration and prudence prior to creating solutions. The emerging solutions should in lines with causes and effects of the analysed problems or crisis, in order for one to adapt to internal and external changes. It focuses on people-centered and sustainable path towards human development. Sufficiency economy must be considered as a means, not the end result by itself. Sufficiency economy provides guides to appropriate way of living and behaving. SDO approaches: Evaluate existing available solutions, then use check list and guidelines questions to redesign and create new solutions improving from the existing solutions. SDO provide guides to possible improved solutions that more sustainable than the existing ones. DfS approaches : Design for Sustainable on the other hand, is working in contribution to sustainable developments in terms of People, Planet and Profit.

By following the principle of \"giving\" underlined in 'Our loss is our gain' philosophy, which has been the turning point of the whole operation and result in a positive working environment. This path of development is called 'Um Choo (supportive)', as the first priority is to increase the general happiness of the workers so that it could lead to working effectively. The core of this strategy is to give with a pure heart and expect nothing in return.'our economy‘ProjectThe workers here are mostly farmers who cannot afford to compete with cost. Natural agriculture will resolve this problem, where you can plant and sell the products within the community under the project so called'our economy'. This way they are able to continue their main carrier and provide service during their free time to increase wages, increasing the prospect of being service minded.respect for all things living and non-livingDr. Suraphon Sudara, who have advocated strongly for the past 20 years that for sustainable development to work and benefit to all, people must have respect for all things living and non-living.Play + Learn = Plearn Both the Agriculture Foundation and the Sufficiency Economy Institution have supported the establishment of learning center to all people. The birth of Plearn center have occurred (Play + Learn = Plearn). More than 3500 individuals from various organizations both private, public and agriculture had taken interest in training the course in working under the Plearn strategy. Nowadays, the project has expanded the network to non-chemical fertilizer to many communities like: example in the text..Organic network:Keaw-Tom-Home group of 7 upper North Eastern provinces, under the coordination of Mr. Phanya Puliwakin, Phunmiraktammachart Centre, project manager. At present the purchase of rice in preferred cost is consumed in hotel and selling to customers that use the services and members of organic network. The Plearn Center has its own small rice mill and is currently expanding the capacity to producing and packing the organic grain. We also own a fertilizer house as a result of increasing husk and bran. The center is approaching the level 3 of His Majesty the King Sufficiency Economy Theory whereby a financial supportive network is formed to render financial help when needed. Preserving of local plants Rice farmers group Ban Bang-Son, Amphur Pathiu, Chumphon province, the land that gave the origin of Yellow Pathiu Rice grain, one of the most popular rice gains in Thailand, is vanishing from the weakening culture of rice as a result of decreased pricing, the overwhelm of mono crop culture. An attempt has been made to preserve and cherish the Yellow Pathiu rice grain organic agriculture by using the following strategies: Farmer supportersInviting customers move their lunching place into the field, listening to country music, eat from coconut shell, eat chicken, vegetables, curry. Time spending is around 1-2 hours. Promote Local wisdom & IndegeniousPhunmiraktammachart Centre has linked with farmers of Chumphon and Esan (north east) in order for them to meet up and join in the Kwan Kaw ceremony. Mr. Thongmor Jamjang, rice guru of Sriprajan Suphanburi has given the original yellow pathiu rice to the Chumphon farmers in the project 'Pathiu rice returns home', transforming this year's paddy field becoming once again filled with yellow pathiu rice. It is proud to hear that all the rice has been sold out even before the production has yet reached its full capacity. Nowadays, there have been many studies on this Um-Choo (supportive) economic pattern at Masters and Doctorial level in a real context. We believe that this form of natural giving and sharing culture would become a door way to overcome capitalism.Serve different target groupเอาภูมิปัญญาท้องถิ่นมาเป็นจุดขายเพื่อดึงดูดลูกค้า ให้สัมผัสวิถีชนบท, provide various kind of acttivities to Serve different target group, such as: experience of rural lifestyle such as farming, plouting, harvesting<number>
On Site Water TreatmentThe first implementation of environmentally friendly systems at Chumphon cabana is the water treatment facilities (Sub-Terra System). Specifically, the use of bacterial colonies, as well as plants to clean wastewater created from laundry, kitchen use, and general disposal of liquids. This process involves 4 stages: 1 bacterial stage 2 plants 3 enzymes 4 Earth filtrationForest water source protection group linkage Corresponding with the king's holistic development approach by, starting with little steps, which can then lead towards bigger prospects in the future. In order to preserve the water and forest people must learn to appreciate what they have by passing it through the likes of children. Plearn Centre has joined hand in hand with environmental activist Mr. Pongsa Chunam, head of Pa-Toh environmental and water source protection unit, set up a joint development project under the concept of \"from mountain through great ocean\" through an education scheme that helps the young to understand good water management of how forest, dam, vetiver, mountain irrigation working together. Under the project 'people live, forest alive' we will learn how people can benefit from and liveOrganic Recycling and the Production of Fertilizer Chumphon cabana resort has an on-sight treatment facility for all organic waste employing bacteria and enzymes as decomposition catalysts. With the by-products of this process, we produce a highly concentrated liquid form of fertilizer from the compost of all organic food and waste by-products of our kitchen. As we do not wish to waste any useful materials that can be put either into the production of food or into the maintenance of a healthy environment, we contribute all of our fertilizer toward the promotion of organic agriculture in our community.Low Impact Construction Practices The Cabana used interlocking bricks to bypass the need for wood frames and supports in the construction of its two large main guest buildings. What we have done is to build these buildings using these interlocking bricks so that no wood scaffolding was needed in their construction saving the wood for the forests.\"Water Cooled\" Room conditioning The fourth application of environmentally friendly technology is actually something we here at the Cabana are pioneering. We are currently researching \"water-cooled\" walls in our rooms in order to completely eradicate the need for electrically powered air-conditioning systems. This approach is proving low-tech, low-maintenance, efficient and energy preserving. Community Development The most comprehensive environmental policy must incorporate the community and its interests in order to find a measure of balance between humans needs and actions on the one hand, and the preservation of a healthy natural environment on the other. We are therefore currently engaged with local farmers in a direct purchasing, organic production scenario. We have convinced farmers to convert their lands to an organic only production regime and have guaranteed them market values for their produce. This produce we buy directly from them for use in our kitchens here at the Cabana. In doing so we believe we provide a superior, healthy and ethically conscientious service to our guests while at the same time promoting local organic agriculture. In this practice we have helped local farmers to become more self-reliant in so far as they avoid selling to agents who then resell their product to urban markets at a greatly exaggerated profit margin. \"NO Development\" Beachfront Policy While other Beaches have almost universally been overrun with jet-skis and deck chairs, we have come into agreement with the Thung Wua Laen Beach community to completely prohibit all kinds of motorized water transport beyond transport purposes. As well, our beaches are by policy free from deckchairs, recliners and all forms of furniture. In this sense we desire to maintain a \"pristine\" beach, and a view of the horizon dedicated to the beauty of the blue. Coastal Run-Off Water Traps and Erosion Inhibiting Vines Road construction in Thailand has traditionally made use of local resources and the Chumphon area soils are rich in clay. Unfortunately, the beach road leading into the Cabana grounds runs within about 100 meters of the beachfront and was laid over a thick layer of clay rich earth. Over the years we noticed a gradual \"leaching\" of the clay onto the beach. In response to this situation we have built large \"water traps\", where we have been able to, to trap ground water exposed to the clay and prevent it from flowing out and leaching into the beach. In combination with these measures, we have laid down a layer of thick vines on the upper reaches of the shoreline to slow down the natural erosion of the sand beach during monsoon periods. Conclusion:The Cabana and You The Cabana continues to try and innovate in areas related to the interwoven ecological and social wellbeing of its surroundings. We have often gained from the expertise and experiences of our guests and warmly invite you to approach us with your ideas in our common commitment to the betterment of our world. In realizing these ideals, we hope to take the tourism industry in a different direction, one which will preserve and enrich our beaches and forests without sacrificing the well being and integrity of the communities which have made them a favored destination for Thais and tourists alike. <number>
\"from mountain through great ocean\"Forest water source protection group linkage Corresponding with the king's holistic development approach by, starting with little steps, which can then lead towards bigger prospects in the future. In order to preserve the water and forest people must learn to appreciate what they have by passing it through the likes of children. Plearn Centre has joined hand in hand with environmental activist Mr. Pongsa Chunam, head of Pa-Toh environmental and water source protection unit, set up a joint development project under the concept of \"from mountain through great ocean\" through an education scheme that helps the young to understand good water management of how forest, dam, vetiver, mountain irrigation working together. 'people live, forest alive' Under the project 'people live, forest alive' we will learn how people can benefit from and live harmoniously with the nature.Waste and water managementThe word \"through\" signifies water passage from the forest water source to the sea, passing through farming, paddy field and surrounding neighborhood. The Plearn center is a place that aim to take good care of the environment; eliminating any garbage and rotten water with the careful planning. The environmental management within the hotel is aimed to be a \"workable model\" that is learned and used by others this could be a small example that can be expanded into a larger community, especially in Bangkok. This fits into the concept of leading by example to reach the full capacity of effectiveness.CONCLUSIONGet to know the geography and the people. At present many education providers start to take interest in this approach and see a great benefit to instill the principle in the education curriculum. It is our hope that when all of us develop a good understanding of ourselves, our natural environment and learn how to respect our nature, then existing problems will be diminishing and balanced and sustainable development will take place<number>
