Agent-based Supporting System for Environmental Assessment of Products

A B S T R A C T The ar�u cle concerns including of environmental aspects during design phase of households appliances. The assessment criteria for this kind of products from EU regula�u ons have been characterized. Based on them addi�u onal set of indicators have been proposed. The indicators have been implemented into agent system that supports the designer during the design phase in the product lifecycle, thus enabling the assessment of infl uence of changes in the design on its ecological proper�u es. The structure of the agent system have been also described.
