Improving Sustainability through Usability

摘要: This article proposes methodologies and applications for sustainability solutions through usability. Usability are defined in the context of human factors ergonomics. Economic, social ecological considerations form basis three leg platform sustainable development. A return to fundamentals factors, ergonomics industrial operations engineering can provide insight into effective implementation solutions. Principles such as learning curves economies scale highlighted energy. It is also suggested that exposure-response be derived using Bayesian networks, giving potential causal effects existing ecotoxicology data. Ergonomists have used these tools past evaluate performance other implementations while toxicology initially some common historical modern view sustainability. Sustainability benefit from interventions under uncertainty. From literature it appears technical already available support sustainability, lag may occurring coordinating social, organizational cultural response. Lessons learned related building on experience human-system interface design visualizations been an integral part digital modeling community especially over last two decades.
