The environmental performance of a product is highly dependent on its functionality and life-cycle patterns. The need for a generalised approach to evaluate functional and environmental attributes of specific products during early design stages motivated investigations to identify key functional and environmental attribute categories for different groups of products. This paper used a case of study methodology to customise general functional and environmental product attributes for a specific group of products - durable, mobile, active (external energy based). Cases at two system levels, door and truck, provided different levels of information. Linking the sub-system analysis with system-level requirements and environmental aspects opens up the trade space for analysis. A Functional-Environmental matrix was derived from the general and product category specific Functional Profile and Product Attribute as a basis for revealing relationships between environmental impacts and functional benefits. This paper describes this process for automotive products, or more generally durable, mobile, active products, using case study-based approach. Specific functional and environmental attributes are identified. A functional-environmental matrix was used to reveal relationships between environmental impacts and functional benefits.
