Simultaneous Application of Design for Sustainable Behavior and Linked Benefit Strategies in Practice

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Abstract

Design for sustainable behavior implies applying design strategies that explicitly take into account human behavior, thereby minimizing user-related environmental losses. In addition, the application of linked-benefit strategies has been suggested to ensure the design of commercially interesting products, linking sustainability benefits to financial, functionality, aesthetical or convenience benefits. However, no case studies have been identified that apply both design strategies in one particular product design. Since a methodology for doing so is lacking, this paper, based on the development of a desk lamp, suggests, discusses, and evaluates possible directions for such an approach.
