Abstract

This paper discusses the demand of customers for prestige and practical value of different products and the coupled environmental impacts of product characteristics providing prestige value. Several surface materials were taken into account because they are seen as the most important indicator of prestige value. During two empiric studies it was tried to rank the materials in their amount of gaining prestige value and causing environmental damage when being used as surface materials for certain products. Accordingly, the environmental impact of the presented materials and products has been analysed. Combining the results of the two empiric studies and the technical analysis of the environmental impact recommendations were produced for product developers. As a conclusion it can be said that prestige value is only of small relevance for electrical (household) products, test persons consider the practical value as more important. Besides that the environmental impact caused by the production of surfaces is very small and can be looked over.
产品设计特征对环境和市场需求的适宜性:电气产品信誉价值分析
本文讨论了顾客对不同产品的信誉和实用价值的需求,以及提供信誉价值的产品特性对环境的耦合影响。几种表面材料被考虑在内,因为它们被视为声望价值的最重要指标。在两项实证研究中,它试图对材料在用作某些产品表面材料时获得声望价值和造成环境破坏的数量进行排名。因此,对所提供的材料和产品的环境影响进行了分析。结合两项实证研究的结果和对环境影响的技术分析,为产品开发人员提出了建议。综上所述,对于电器(家用)产品来说,信誉价值的相关性很小,测试者认为实用价值更重要。此外,表面生产对环境的影响很小,可以忽略不计。
