Abstract
Nowadays sustainability is an important factor in the design and production of mechatronic systems, especially the environmental aspects which will be mainly defined in the development phase and influence the whole later life cycle. This chapter gives an overview of the main approaches like life cycle assessment (LCA) or related key performance indicators (KPIs) and considers their relevance to mechatronic design. Therefore, some methods for the early design phases are presented based on the well-known approaches V-model and design structure matrix. The summary will be reflected with two significant use cases.
