Energy Saving Design for Manufacturing Process, Product, and System

Dear Colleagues,

Energy and Environmental issues are part of the most significant concerns worldwide. As the world’s population and standard of living increases, the demand for energy consequently increases followed by the environmental problems. Embedded energy saving into process, product, and system design will be able to improve the energy efficiency from the very beginning. This Special Issue of Energies will explore the latest developments in energy saving design technologies and methodologies. While research papers concerning energy saving during the design of manufacturing process, product, and system are welcomed, we would also welcome review papers related to this topic. This Special Issue will encompass:

• novel design methodologies to embedded energy saving concept during the product and system design process;
• latest technologies applied in designing manufacturing processes to improve energy efficiency;
• life cycle energy or sustainability assessment to explore different opportunities for energy saving during the design process;
• sustainable development technologies with focus on energy saving.

We welcome papers focusing on design of traditional and advanced manufacturing process, existing product/system improvements, and new product/system creation.
