Abstract
The energy necessary for the production of goods can very often not be analyzed in depth in early stages of product development, because today the common tools of product development, such as CAD-systems, generally do not offer the possibility to support designers and engineers in this endeavor. For some products, such as mobile phones, the portion of energy used for production can rise up to 80%. The energy consumption in production and disposal is determined very early in the product development process by designers and engineers; the presented approach aims to support such decisions.
