Low-carbon product design involves a redesign process that requires not only structural module modification, but more importantly, generating innovative principles to solve design contradictions. Such contradictions include when current design conditions cannot satisfy design requirements or there are antithetical design goals. On the other hand, configuration tasks in the reconfiguration process are interdependent, which requires a well-scheduled arrangement to reduce feedback information. This study proposes an effective configuration methodology for low-carbon design. Firstly, configuration tasks and configuration parameters are designated through quality characteristics, and the directed network along with the associated values of configuration tasks are transformed into the design structure matrix to construct the information flow diagram. Then, the Extenics-based problem-solving model is presented to address design contradictions: low-carbon incompatibility and antithetical problems are clarified and formulated with a basic-element model; extensible and conjugate analysis tools are used to identify problematic structures and provide feasible measures; the Gantt chart of measures execution based on the information flow diagram is constructed to reduce feedback and generate robust schemes with strategy models. The methodology is applied to the vacuum pump low-carbon design, the results show that it effectively solves contradictions with innovative design schemes, and comparative analysis verifies the performance of Extenics.

Taking new lifestyle as a breakthrough perspective for innovative design, ways to merge the Low carbon concept into industrial design method are studied in terms of the design investigation, design orientation, design concepts, and the modeling design and so on. A clear definition of Lifestyle was proposed, then, the method of measuring Lifestyle model was constructed by VIO scale. As a very typical representative, the post-80's the lifestyle was analyzed who proved the main small-household electrical appliances consumer groups. Mi-sa washing machine design as an example verified the effectiveness, practicality and innovativeness of the method. The result show that the low-carbon industrial design in the true sense should depend on the modern lifestyle and consumer habits.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of low carbon product design on firm's competitiveness and economic performance. It also examines the mediating role of the proactive environmental strategy and eco-innovation on low carbon product design, competitiveness and economic performance.Design/methodology/approachThrough a questionnaire-based survey, the data were collected from 69 Indian manufacturing firms and analyzed using a variance-based structural equation modeling (SEM) technique to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe results show that the low carbon product design significantly improves firm's competitiveness and economic performance, and proactive environmental strategy significantly mediates the relationship between low carbon product design and firm's competitiveness.Practical implicationsThis study provides a framework for the adoption of low carbon product design. It demonstrates how manufacturing firms can implement environmental friendly product design. It also analyses the contextual factors that ensure a successful low carbon product design.Originality/valueThis article investigates the economic benefit of low carbon product design, thus filling lacuna in existing research.
