The rise of manufacturing intelligence is fuelling innovation in
processes and products concerning a low environmental impact over
the product's lifecycle. Sustainable intelligent manufacturing is
regarded as a manufacturing paradigm for the 21st century, in the
move towards the next generation of manufacturing and processing
technologies. The manufacturing industry has reached a turning
point in its evolution and new business opportunities are emerging.
With sustainable development arises the immense challenge of
combining innovative ideas regarding design, materials and products
with non-polluting processes and technologies, conserving energy
and other natural resources. On the other hand, sustainability has
become a key concern for government policies, businesses and the
general public. Model cities are embracing novel ecosystems,
combining environmental, social and economic issues in more
inclusive and integrated frameworks. Green Design, Materials and
Manufacturing Processes includes essential research in the field of
sustainable intelligent manufacturing and related topics, making a
significant contribution to further development of these fields.
The volume contains reviewed papers presented at the 2nd
International Conference on Sustainable Intelligent Manufacturing,
conjointly organized by the Centre for Rapid and Sustainable
Product Development, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, and the
Faculty of Architecture, Technical University of Lisbon, both in
Portugal. This event was held at the facilities of the Faculty of
Architecture, Lisbon, from June 26 to June 29, 2013. A wide range
of topics is covered, such as Eco Design and Innovation, Energy
Efficiency, Green and Smart Manufacturing, Green Transportation,
Life-Cycle Engineering, Renewable Energy Technologies, Reuse and
Recycling Techniques, Smart Design, Smart Materials, Sustainable
Business Models and Sustainable Construction. Green Design,
Materials and Manufacturing Processes is intended for engineers,
architects, designers, economists and manufacturers who are
actively engaged in the advancement of science and technology
regarding key sustainability issues, leading to more suitable,
efficient and sustainable products, materials and processes.
