SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN-ORIENTING (SDO) TOOLKIT
WHAT IT CONSISTS OF:a modular software toolkit supporting the following processes: - A: existing system qualitative analysis/prioritisation of sustainability criteria/guidelines- B: best practices analysis/identify sustainable existing options- C: generate sustainability-focused idea- D: check/visualise sustainability improvement/worsening of developed concept/s
AIMorientate system design process towards sustainable solutions (environmental, socio-ethical, economic)
