The basic principle of eco-design is that as the various stages of MEP development proceed, technical choices become increasingly limited and the possibilities of reducing environmental impacts are correspondingly limited. Consequently the environment must be factored in as early on as possible in the process. One of the essential characteristics of eco-design is that by adopting such an approach and adding the tools of eco-design to their conventional design tools, designer's work can have extremely positive effects on the environment. The results achieved - environmental compatible MEP-s. An example from automotive industry.

Keywords: Design and development, eco-design philosophy, requirements representation, software tools, a practical application
