SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

Sustainable design is the philosophy of designing physicalobjects, the built environment, and services to comply with theprinciples of social, economic, and ecological sustainability.

Also called environmental design, environmentally sustainabledesign, environmentally conscious design, etc.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN PRINCIPLES

LOW-IMPACT MATERIALS: choose non-toxic, sustainably producedor recycled materials which require little energy to process

ENERGY EFFICIENCY: use manufacturing processes and produceproducts which require less energy

QUALITY AND DURABILITY: longer-lasting and better-functioningproducts will have to be replaced less frequently, reducing the impacts ofproducing replacements

DESIGN FOR REUSE AND RECYCLING: "Products, processes, and

systems should be designed for performance in a commercial 'afterlife'.

RENEWABILITY: materials should come from nearby (localor bioregional), sustainably managed renewable sources that canbe composted when their usefulness has been exhausted.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STANDARDS: and project design guides are alsoincreasingly available and are vigorously being developed by a wide array of

private organizations and individuals. There is also a large body of newmethods emerging from the rapid development of what has become knownas 'sustainability science' promoted by a wide variety of educational andgovernmental institutions.

ROBUST ECO-DESIGN: robust design principles are applied to the designof a pollution sources).

DESIGN IMPACT MEASURES :For total carbon footprint and life-cycleassessment for any resource used are increasingly required and available.Many are complex, but some give quick and accurate whole-earth estimates

of impacts. One measure estimates any spending as consuming an averageeconomic share of global energy use of 8,000 BTU (8,400 kJ) per dollar andproducing CO2 at the average rate of 0.57 kg of CO2 per dollar (1995 dollarsUS) from DOE figures.

CAROMA SMARTFLUSHExclusive to Caroma and Fowler toilet suites, thisleading-edge technology delivers the ultimatecombination of design, water savings andperformance.

With demonstrated water savings of up to 35,000litres of water per year.

Smart flush technology uses only 4.5 litres ofwater for a full flush and 3 litres for a half flush.

Smart flush technology has received plenty of

accolades since it was first introduced including anAustralian Design Award for Excellence inAustralian Design in the Housing and Buildingcategory in 2005, Product of the Year at the 2005HIA National Green Smart Awards and the Green

Plumbers Product of the Year Award in 2004.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS EVALUATEDFOR LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT:

Global warming is the rising of global temperature due to emissions ofgreenhouse gas. A one-way flight from New York to Hawaii does more damagethan the entire life cycle of 7,200 Think chairs.

Acidification is the damage to trees and rivers, as well as accelerateddegradation metals, of limestone and concrete. Watching one TV for a year

contributes more pollutants to acid rain than the life cycle of a Think chair.

Eutrophication is the loss of plants and animals in aquatic ecosystems duetooxygen depletion following blooms of algae, stimulated by high nutrientconcentrations. The life cycle of 30 Think chairs does less damage thanfertilizing a one-acre lawn just once.

Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution caused by emittingvolatile organic components. Your car releases as much photochemicalsmog in five hours of driving as Think does in its entire life cycle.

Abiotic resource depletion is the depletion of non-renewableresources such as oil, coal and metals. Depletion is minimized in the Thinkchair by using materials made from recycled content when possible, andminimizes the number of parts and types of materials needed.

Waste is the bulk waste and hazardous waste created during the entirelife cycle of a product. The average American generates twice as much

waste in one week as the life cycle of Think.

Toxic emissions are substances which cause harm to the naturalenvironment or human health. The majority of the substances in thiscategory for the Think chair life cycle is sulpher oxide, the result ofcombustion of fossil fuels.


10/12

When its finally time for new chairs, Think goes easily into its nextlife.The Steelcase Environmental Partnership will help you responsibly take yourchair into the next phase of its life cycle be it resale or refurbish, donation

to charity, or recycling. Or you can easily recycle the Think chair yourself.Think separates with simple hand tools into well-labeled components.

The Think

chair is 99%recyclable byweight.Disassembly

takes just fiveminutes withordinarytools.
