Abstract
This paper describes an in-progress project to develop a framework for holistic life cycle design. Environmentally-conscious design requires the balance of a variety of deeply coupled issues. Thus a holistic approach which addresses both the design of the product and its life-cycle is needed. A design support system for modelling, simulating and evaluating product life cycle is described and an example of modular product design is illustrated. The results show that product design significantly impacts product life cycle design and provide a foundation for the concept of holistic product life cycle design. Finally, a prototype system for integrating distributed design models to enable holistic design is outlined.
