碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 機械工程學系 === 103 === The establishment of European Directive EuP and ErP has driven manufacturers to produce green products. Yet Carbon footprint and Water footprint are two important indicators to assess whether the product is environmentally friendly or not. But for Taiwan's machinery industry, carbon footprint and water footprint calculation is not common. Therefore, this study presents a carbon footprint and water footprint assessment method for mechanical engineers can be used when designing their new machine products. This method is based on life cycle assessment. First to classify every machine components, then analyze their raw material and manufacturing process. And according to the different transport, using and recycling situations have differnt calculate methods. Finally, use the life cycle assessment database and the literature data to accomplish the Carbon footprint and Water footprint assessment method.
