Abstract | In order to illustrate the sustainability of a product and/or its materials, an algorithm of Sustainable design Index (SDI) is established based on the costing data and dynamics, which covers the dynamic costing of materials, processes, assemble/disassemble and transportation. The research of SDI is aim to evaluate or compare product’s sustainability by number instead of feeling. When the SDI is implemented in the Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, such as windows and/or doors, the CAD program will be effective in guiding the sustainable designer, who tries to designing a product to meet the need of present and future generations. |
