Abstract
The aim of this paper is to highlight possibilities for designers to change their products towards showing a better energy performance during their usage. To this end, the paper offers them a simplistic methodology, which supports the consideration of the most important aspects of energy saving. This methodological support is needed since not only electronic household products, but also consumer behaviors have become more complex over the years. In this research we are focusing on saving by adding extra smart energy saving functions. Product equipped with some level of intelligence are able to perceive their environment, can be aware of the presence of people and other agents, and can respond smartly to the needs of these agents. The proposed methodology has been developed to support designers in using these ubiquitous controllers to optimize energy consumption. Because it seems to be not obvious to find the energy saving controller or combination with the highest gains. The ubiquitous energy controllers are nonetheless additions to the original product and the trade-off between the extra gains and the costs of adding a control function must be made.
