First International Conference on Resource Efficiency in Interorganizational Networks – ResEff 2013 –

“…Their evaluation has up to recent time almost without exception been focused on technical aspects, like functionality and safety, and on economic aspects following legal and financial boundary conditions (Jischa, 2005). With respect to sustainability more criteria have to be considered like environmental quality, social and human values and quality of life.…”

“…With respect to sustainability more criteria have to be considered like environmental quality, social and human values and quality of life. This kind of evaluation needs interdisciplinary co-operation in order to develop new comprehensive and integrative methods (Jischa, 2005). Applying sustainable development by using technology assessment means investigating complex dynamic systems (Tulbure, 2013).…”

“…Many actions after this time emphasise that the evolution of technical, social and ecological systems has to be analysed in synergetic relation (Jischa 2005). The aim is to help the decision making process and to define such measures which can be applied on different levels depending on the specific problems in different parts of the world, by taking into consideration particularities of specific regions.…”

“…There are a lot of impact fields of ICT, but one of the most important is the environmental one. The developments in the last years did show that an increase in the efficiency of technological applications does not implicitly lead to a decrease of energy use and of environmental stress because of simultaneous changes in human lifestyles (Jischa, 2005). It has been demonstrated that so called "rebound-effects" do over-compensate the effects of efficiency increase by giving more and more possibilities to spend free time in a very energy intensive way (Schauer, 2000).…”

“…Criteria chosen for evaluation have to refer global issues, but on a regional level. In our dynamically changing society the comprehensive evaluation is very difficult (Jischa, 2005). Very often aggregated or hardly quantifiable entities are neglected in the evaluation processes or taken into account as limitations.…”
