光觸媒環保產品綠色設計分析之評估模式

An Assessment Model of Green Design Analysis for Photocatalyst Environmental Products

光觸媒是利用光線使觸媒產生強力氧化作用，具有殺菌、抗菌、自淨、除臭功能，是無污染且安全的環保材料。如今光觸媒技術應用於環保新產品開發有愈來愈多的趨向，因此本研究目的旨在建立一套光觸媒運用於環保產品綠色設計分析之評估模式，可以作為設計師進行光觸媒綠色產品設計時的參考和依據，並提升消費者對光觸媒環保新產品的接受度及信任感。本研究採行的方法除了相關理論的文獻探討外，同時配合學者與專家的深度訪談諮詢，進行有關光觸媒環保空氣清淨機個案實例分析。經產品矩陣分析評估（MET）及透過綠色設計檢核表，再淬取出光觸媒環保空氣清淨機綠色設計準則，針對研究對象的相關產品，以綠色生命週期設計策略環的八項策略做比較分析與歸納，評估結果可以清楚看出光觸媒環保產品前後改變的差異性及優劣性，此可作為未來光觸媒綠色產品設計的重要依據。此外，由本研究結果中得知觸媒反應過程中並不浪費任何能源，產品之功能及優點得以因光觸媒之應用而增加，能提升產品的功能與擴張性，光觸媒環保產品將帶給人們生活品質的提升是無庸置疑。期望產業界能運用本研究所建立的光觸媒環保空氣清淨機之綠色設計分析評估模式，發展出更理想的光觸媒永續產品，以助於產品綠色設計成效之落實，為人類謀求更舒適、無污染的安全生活環境。

Photocatalyst utilizes light to induce strong oxygenation on a catalyzer, which decomposes the attached dirt and organic matter into water and carbon dioxide. It has functions of disinfection, antiseptic, self-clean, deodorization and is non-pollutant and safe. There are more and more new environmental products on the markets applying photocatalyst techniques. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish an assessment model of green design analysis for photocatalyst environmental products. The results of study can serve as a reference and basis for industrial designers who work on the development of Photocatalyst environmental products and increase consumers' acceptance and reliability tow and this new item so as to improve the success of the launches of new products. The methodology of this study adopts related literature review, deep interview from experts and case study of photocatalyst air cleaner. Through the processes of MET matrix analysis, green design checking list and design strategy analysis of product life cycle, the result clearly appears the changes of photocatalyst environmental products. As the result, it can become the important rules for photocatalyst environmental product development in the future. Meanwhile, the result of the study indicates that the catalyst reacting in the course does not waste any energy and thus the application of photocatalyst will advance and expand the functions and advantages of the products. Owing to the unquestionable fact that the photocatalyst environmental products can promote the quality of life, photocatalyst technology has become the one the industry eagerly develops. By providing an assessment model of green design analysis for photocatalyst environmental products, the study hopes to contribute to the production of an ideal everlasting product, which exerts the green design efficiently and effectively, and in the long run the realization of a comfortable, pollution-free secure environment for the mankind.
