In Design space exploration, the resulting data, from simulation of large amount of new design alternatives, can lead to information overload when one good design solution must be chosen. The design space exploration relates to a multi-criteria optimization method in design but in manual mode, for which appropriate tools to support multi-dimensiona...
In Design by Shopping, designers explore the design space to gain an insight into trades, and feasible and impractical solutions, as well as to learn about alternatives before optimization and selection. The design space consists of multidimensional sets of data and, in order to select the best design from among numerous alternatives, designers may...
Design space exploration (DSE) describes the systematic activity of discovery and evaluation of the elements in a design space in order to identify optimal solutions by reducing the design space to an area of performance. Designers sample thousands of design points iteratively, explore the design space, gain knowledge about the problem and make des...

Purpose: Regarding industrial sports products, there is sometimes a dual sport and health meaning intended by designers.
Appearances of sport products are often quite opposite to health products. Design choices made by designers can thus be misunderstood by users. Understanding the perception gap between designers and users within earlier stages of...
The integration of user perception into the design process has become necessary to provide the best experience to users. All methods focusing on the interpretations of products are based on the same principle: identifying relationships between a semantics and physical attributes of products within a product domain. Sometimes this domain makes the d...

Additive manufacturing is a process used for quick prototyping in industries. Geometrical defects are observed on printed parts. The aim of the paper is to propose a design method to implement measurements uncertainties into a Design Space for Additive Manufacturing parameters selection. To do so, two tests have been realized. The first test consis...
Current development of renewable energy systems (RES) is characterised by an increasing participation of citizens in the upstream decision-making process. These citizens can be future users of the RES but also members of a Renewable Energy Community that develop RES. They can be at the same time Renewable Energy producer, investor and consumer. Mor...
Additive Manufacturing has proven to be an economically and industrially attractive process in building or repairing parts. However, the major issue of this new process is to guarantee a mechanical behavior identical to the subtractive manufacturing methodologies. The work, presented in this paper, is centered on the Laser Wire Metal Deposition (LM...
Products appearances are made of design choices influencing the way products are perceived. Products semantics is a methods used to understand and anticipate this phenomena. Nowadays, consumers consider sport products not only as “sport” but also as “health” products. Designers may then develop them as “sport-health” products. However, perception o...
SocialRES aims to devise effective ways of increasing social innovation leading to greater social acceptability of renewable energy systems. This is done by a better understanding of support structures for successful social innovations in the renewable energy sector such as Renewable Energy Cooperatives, Aggregators and Crowdfunding Platforms. Thes...
Product success depends on its capacity to meet users’ expectations. Human Centred Design approach helps to reach this success by focussing on users’ needs in the design process. These needs are as well functional as hedonic. Designing products requires then to design hedonic properties affecting users’ perception. For sport products, people wants...
L'élevage de précision a pour objectif d'améliorer la productivité des exploitations agricoles et s'appuie sur un ensemble d'équipements technologiques qui produisent des données qu'il convient de collecter, stocker et analyser et qui concernent chaque animal et son environnement. Cette nouvelle façon de gérer une exploitation agricole constitue un...
Product design greatly evolves for years, due to the increasing complexity of products, from simple monodisciplinary products to mechatronics systems then cyber-physical systems. Teams involved in the development of such systems are strongly interdisciplinary and require adequate engineering design methods. We propose hereafter a dedicated design p...
While the 7 million-head French sheep industry is contracting, the average herd size is rising, providing challenging issues to maintain and improve its productivity. Precision Livestock Farming has allowed the sheeps and herds to be equipped with sensors and has a result the amount of data to be processed by farmers has surged. We argue that in or...

Health devices or product are parts of a complex environment where misuses can conduct to heavy consequences. Directives and standards require to integrate human factors in the design process in order to reduce risks of misuses and to guide the design process. However, few studies present Human Centred Design criteria helping to design process. The...
Inhabitants use energy to perform various activities of daily life in the private sphere i.e. the household scope. The activities they undertake are stochastic in nature and difficult to predict. Moreover there is a significant difference between real and theoretical uses of eco-designed products. It is therefore necessary to address the issue of m...

In the context of the emergence of collaborative innovation projects between competitiveness clusters, the animation of creative sessions permits to identify new opportunities. The number of ideas generated is a lot more important than the number of collaborative innovation projects implemented subsequently. To improve this ratio, we verify that gr...
Acting as prosumers can help the transition toward low carbon and circular economies. This paper discusses what can be defined as " prosumer behaviours " and proposes an innovative approach that fosters users in adopting daily virtuous experiences about energy production and consumption. Such experiences are based on smart interfaces as they emerge...
Design space exploration, that is an embodiment of a paradigm Design by Shopping, refers to the systematic activity of discovery and evaluation of the elements in the design space in order to identify optimal solution by reducing the design space toward an area of performance. This activity is composed of three main phases: the discovery, the optim...

Directions for use given by manufacturers of consumer products are often based on ideal conditions of use. However, each user is different and has complex user characteristics which may impact the directions of manufacturers and thus divert a product's primary functions. In this study we therefore propose examining this phenomenon of use in eco-des...

Hospitals are buildings whose use is continuous 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For all users of these buildings, it is necessary to guarantee good physical environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, light. ..). These buildings therefore have specific requirements in terms of equipment, such as air conditioning systems, while being subjected to the climate. Due to the complexity of controlling all the parameters of these requirements, the ineffectiveness of their management, or their lack of adaptation, lead to significant expenses generally linked to overconsumption of energy. Additional expenditure is intended for the identification of emissions which are avoidable and we then observe an ineffectiveness of public investments which have contributed to their construction and maintenance. However, there is software for calculating the theoretical energy demand of a building during its design. But once the building is built, the real energy demand is very often different.
To overcome this problem, the project we are proposing here involves deploying an expert system for real-time management of energy consumption in hospital buildings and a structured procedure for its renovation in order to guarantee energy consumption close to zero. . We will develop tools for real-time control of the operation of these buildings in order to efficiently manage the energy and water consumed, to ensure that they are buildings with almost zero energy consumption and maximum efficiency vis-à-vis -to water consumption. All this through:
- An expert system for real-time control and management of efficiency and energy consumption, capable of carrying out phase-advance simulations, based on the concept of a “virtual twin building”.
- A procedure for the renovation of the building, its installations and its energy production systems in order to achieve the objective of almost zero consumption (“renovation passport”).
- A user-centered design method in order to guarantee the efficient use of its intelligent tools in order to offer the user-decision-maker, in charge of controlling energy consumption, a new way of understanding his "virtual twin building And interact with him.
In this context, we undertake the integration of the user-decision maker in all phases of the platform design process and to develop training materials for the use and design of these tools.
SocialRES is a research and innovation project funded by the European Union. Our aim is to foster energy democracy through social innovation and the active collaboration between cooperatives, aggregators of renewable energy and crowdfunding platforms.
