In the premise of achieving corresponding functions, sustainable design means to take the most natural, harmless and energy-saving materials to realize the product functions to meet the need of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs. While with the Chinese characteristic features and the endless expansion demand on consumption, design is going on the opposite direction. The product design research based on sustainable concept is a re-examined view of human-oriented design in front of the challenge of limited resources protection. And with the help of unlimited creativities and design, we can care more about our nature and society on one hand. On the other hand, the silent affection and promotion on green, energy-saving and low-carbon living concept will also definitely influence our human being to be more rational.

Configuration Methodology

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.

As current society’s reflection on the rapid development of motorization and increasing emphasis on the ecological environment, the study of walkable cities has become one of the key points of urban sustainable design. Creating a walkable city is an effective way to build a low-carbon and healthy city. With the development of cities, walkability concepts and theories are constantly being given new life, and research methods and design strategies continue to be updated. A city’s walkability and walkability index have become current research hotspots. Based on prior research on walkability and related urban policies, this study selects Coomera Town on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia, as the research area because of Coomera Town policy regulations and environmental requirements. This study utilizes traditional qualitative and quantitative research methods, machine mining technology, and the deep learning big data analysis technology to conduct thematic design research in a real place. Its combines walkability evaluation with walkability design to construct a walkable city in a targeted manner. This provides a reference for related city design in the future.

Acid rain and greenhouse effect are the major air pollution problems in China, and the goals for the total emission control of NOx and total energy consumption control begin to move forward in the 12th five-year plan. NOx emission reduction and energy saving of coal-fired power plants are still put in a strategic position. Accordingly, it is of great significance to carry out power planning work, considering effect of NOx emission index and energy saving on power industry. In this study, a mixed 0-1 integer linear power generation expansion model based on total emission control of NOx and low carbon economy effect is developed for the first time, which can be used for studying the change of power structure, confirming the releasing emissions of NOx from power system for development and reducing energy consumption by total amount control of power coal consumption and CO2 emission growth rate. The model is applied to the power system in Heilongjiang province and the results indicate that the proposed model not only can meet the requirement of power generation expansion management, but also can help the power industry clear the economic impact of NOx emission reduction on self-development and achieve the energy saving target.

Labeling System

Despite China's significant progress in energy saving renovations, during the past 10 years, problems about inefficiencies remain. In the Netherlands, the energy labeling system (ELS) effectively linked policy objectives and market forces, combined with the stepped tariffs aimed at the performance of energy-saving renovation, generating a virtuous cycle of housing energy efficiency upgrading. China may draw the experience from Netherlands. In this regard, the authors probe the market effect and operating mechanism of the Dutch ELS and the stepped tariffs. The theory of multi-level governance (MLG) is introduced to the filed investigations both in China and the Netherlands. Based on the group-interviews and depth-interviews with the officials in related agencies and the residents of retrofitting housing, the authors obtained first-hand information to ensure a close case study on Netherlands' housing ELS and its implementation, in order to provide some enlightenment for China's existing housing renovation and low carbon development.
