Specifying Part and Assembly Use Parameters

A new Use section of the Sustainability Task pane lets you specify the where the product will be used. For assemblies, this is where you now indicate the energy needs of the product over its lifespan.

For a part, in the Use section, select the manufacturing region from the Region drop-down list or by clicking the region in the map.

To provide assembly Use parameters:

  1. With an assembly open, click Tools > Sustainability.
  2. In the Sustainability Task Pane, use the Task List to ensure that materials are defined for all parts, then click View Results.
  3. In the Use section of the Sustainability Task pane, select the manufacturing region from the Region drop-down list or by clicking the region in the map.
  4. If you want to specify the energy used during the lifetime of the product, select Energy needs over lifespan.
  5. In the Type of Energy drop-down list, select from:
    • Electricity
    • Natural Gas
    • Diesel
    • Gasoline
    • Kerosene
    • Light Fuel Oil
  6. Specify the Amount of energy and select a time increment. For example, selecting Diesel, typing 2.00 and selecting Hour, indicates that the product will use 2.00 gallons of diesel fuel per hour during its lifetime.
