N1  - What is ecodesign? --; The objective of ecodesign --; The basis for ecodesign --; Ecomimicry --; The general law and theoretical basis for ecodesign --; Interrogate the premises for the design --; Differentiate whether the design is for a product (with no fixed abode or with a temporary abode) or for a structure or an infrastructure (both abode or site specific) --; Determine the level of environmental integration that can be achieved in the design --; Evaluate the ecological history of the site (for the designed system) --; Inventory the designed system's ecosystem (site-specific design) --; Delineate the designed system's boundary as a human-made or composite ecosystem in relation to the site's ecosystem --; Design to balance the biotic and abiotic components of the designed system --; Design to improve existing, and to create new ecological linkages --; Design to reduce the heat-island effect of the built environment on the ecology of the locality --; Design to reduce the consequences of the various modes of transportation and of the provision of access and vehicular parking for the designed system --; Design to integrate with the wider planning context and urban infrastructure of the designed system --; Design for improved internal comfort conditions (of the designed system as an enclosure) --; Design to optimise all passive-mode (or bioclimatic design) options in the designed system --; Design to optimise all mixed-mode options in the designed system --; Design to optimise all full-mode options in the designed system --; Design to optimise productive-mode options in the designed system --; Design to optimise composite-mode options in the designed system --; Design to internally integrate biomass with the designed system's inorganic mass (eg by means of internal landscaping, improved indoor air quality (IAQ) considerations, etc) --; Design for water conservation, recycling, harvesting, etc --; Design for wastewater and sewage treatment and recycling systems --; Design for food production and independence --; Design the built system's use of materials to minimise waste based on the analogy with the recycling properties of the ecosystem --; Design for vertical integration --; Design to reduce light and noise pollution of the ecosystems --; Designing the built environment as the transient management of materials and energy input flows --; Designing to conserve the use of non-renewable energy and material resources --; Design for the management of outputs from the built environment and their integration with the natural environment --; Design the built system over its life cycle from source to reintegration --; Design using environmentally benign materials, furniture, fittings, equipment (FF&E) and products that can be continuously reused, recycled and reintegrated --; Design to reduce the use of ecosystem and biospheric services and impacts on the shared global environment (systemic integration) --; Reassess the overall design (ie product, structure or infrastructure) in its totality for the level of environmental integration over its life cycle --; What is the green aesthetic? --; Issues of practice --; The future of ecodesign --; App. 1; Timeline of key international developments relating to the global environment --; App. 2; Sustainable development --; App. 3; The Rio Principles
