Eco-Design Guideline for Software Products

For commercializing environmentally conscious software products, systemization of environmental factors to be followed by a product supplier has been examined. Such environmental consideration factors (eco-design factors) have been selected from the viewpoints of software commercialization activities and product content. For the product content, an eco-design map has been created with environmental objectives, environmental aspects, and implementation measures as three axes. As a result, a total of 39 eco-design factors have been selected, which have been incorporated into each phase of software commercialization. Based on this work, the guideline for reducing the environmental load of software products has been established
