Choose the life cycle stages in the project’s ecodesign scope by activating the filter “Life cycle stages”
Screen parameters column, answering the following questions by filling up the column “Type of control” and “Stakeholder”
1️⃣ If the default foreground/background parameters correspond to your case?
❓What is background and foreground parameters ? Click here to understand :
2️⃣ Who is the stakeholder of the parameter?
💡If your stakholders are the workspace collaborator, you can assign them directly in this database by edit properties to “person”.
Collect data by indicating the data sources (you can select the type of data sources directly from the scroll or add new ones)
❓Where to find the background data? How to make hypothesis when there’s a lack of information? The page below provide some useful and reliable sources.
❓How to evaluate “Design’s compatibility to repair/reuse”? The page below provide a template for repairability/reusability indicator construction and evaluation
Functional unit of your PLCA model ?
Explain the buck converter's functions to engineering students by generating a DC voltage ranging from 9V to 15V for a variable load, using a 15V to 30V DC source, 120 hours per year over a service provision time Y_{service} of 30 years, i.e. equivalent to 3600 hours of operation.
Reference flow of your PLCA model?
3 DC-DC buck converters, each with a technical lifetime of 10 years (Yp).
