Environmental Impact Model
Environmental Impact Model is a tool in design sustainability that helps predict how a product or project will affect the environment throughout its life. Designers can use this model to see the effects of materials, energy use, and waste from the very start of an idea to the end of its life. This model can break down the impact into smaller parts, like how much water or energy is used at each step, so designers can change things early and make better choices. Some models now use real-time data to give quick feedback, which helps designers make fast and smart decisions for greener results.
