Does Fan Feel and Visibility During Thermostat Interaction Affect Temperature Selection in Warm Ambient Conditions?
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2023)A vicious cycle exists when higher global temperatures increase the demand for indoor air-conditioning, which consumes significant energy while heating the outdoors. These higher outdoor temperatures then prompt more ... -
Disassembly and Repairability of Mechatronic Products: Insight for Engineering Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2023)Designing mechatronic products requires interdisciplinary skills and as products become more complex, the design of mechatronic systems plays a critical role. To minimize waste production and pollution, a shift toward a ... -
Reducing Waste Outflow to Motivate Water Conservation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2023)A novel intervention to increase water-conserving behavior was developed and tested. Behavior-change interventions range from information-based, where individuals have full control over whether they act on the provided ... -
Reman Co-Design: A Combined Design and Remanufacturing Optimization Framework for the Sustainable Design of High-Value Components
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2023)Remanufacturing is a process that returns end-of-life equipment to as-new conditions and offers numerous environmental and economic benefits. To fully capitalize on remanufacturing, its synergistic interactions with design ... -
