When selecting a new refrigerator, energy efficiency is a decisive selection criterion. However, in the strategic and tactical planning of value-added networks, this is not yet the case. The E²-Design-toolbox enables energy efficiency to be considered in the planning process of production and logistics networks, in addition to the classic performance and cost variables. The early integration allows to draw on the overall potential. This paper presents the underlying energy data, the optimization modules, and the user’s perspective.
