Your Design SUXS (Sustainability UX Score)

This paper outlines a methodology to quantitatively measure the aspects of User Experience design processes which contribute to sustainability. It emphasizes the importance of measuring parameters that influence sustainability during the design phase itself. But currently, there are no methods to help designers make calculated decisions in this regard. The proposed methodology quantifies various factors of sustainability for a product that can be measured during the design and the usage phase, resulting in a Sustainability User Experience score (SUXS). This score will help designers incorporate sustainable design practices from the beginning of the product lifecycle and promote a more conscious design movement for sustainable digital products.
