LeNSes GENERAL OBJECTIVE
promoting a new generation of designers (and design
educators and researcher) capable of effectively
contribute to the development of sustainable energy
systems for all, focused on the promising model of
Sustainable Product-Service System (S.PSS) and
Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE)
8. Carlo Vezzoli
Politecnico di Milano / DESIGN dept. / DIS / School of Design / Italy
LeNSes VISION AND STRATEGY
A new OPEN ethos for the design community
to shift towards an open source and copyleft learning-
by-sharing attitude/action, for and effective and rapid
knowledge generation and diffusion into the design
higher education institutions and practices

download open source and copyleft LEARNING
RESOURCES (slideshows, texts, audio, videos, etc.)
and TOOLS that could be modified/remixed and
reused, i.e. adapted according to each teacher’s
specific didactic needs, institutional requirements and
local context peculiarities

> any educational institution, teacher, sustainability-focused network,
can generate a new LeNS-based web-platform: reconfiguring it by re-
defining partners (the “scientific board”), the sustainability focus
and/or the geographical representation
> any new generated LeNS-based web platform upload learning
resources independently, while all of the web-platforms are interlinked
in a multi-polar structure

fuels) system of energy generation and distribution

CHARACTERISTICS
19. Carlo Vezzoli
Politecnico di Milano / DESIGN dept. / DIS / School of Design / Italy
environmental benefits:
non-exhaustable, global
warming reduction, lower
environmental impact for extraction,
transformation, distribution
socioethical benefits: direct access to energy >
increased participation and power to individuals and
local communities > democratisation of access to
energy > poverty and inequality reduction
economic benefits: potentials for reduced cost of
energy, increased reliability, increased employment

environmentally friendly.

mix of products and services that are
together able to fulfil a particular
customer demand (to deliver a “unit of
satisfaction”), based on innovative
interactions between the stakeholders of
the value production system, where the
economic and competitive interest of the
providers continuously seeks
environmentally and socioethically

PSS: MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
ROOTED IN A SATISFACTION-BASED ECONOMIC MODEL
each offer is developed/designed and delivered in relation to a
particular customer “satisfaction” (unit of satisfaction)
STAKEHOLDER INTERACTIONS-BASED INNOVATION
radical innovations, not so much as technological ones, as new
interactions/partnerships between the stakeholders of a
particular value (satisfaction) production system
INTRINSIC SUSTAINABILITY POTENTIAL
innovation in which is the company/companies’ economic and
competitive interest that may leads to environmental or
socioethic benefits

it is environmentally sustainable because it
uses the solar energy + it is socioethically
sustainable because give to poor people
access to useful services + it is economically
sustainable because is a business for TSSFA
company and affordable by rural people.
TSSFA company offers to Brasilian rural
people a solar home kits that include the
hardware to generate solar energy + the
installation service + energy using products,
e.g. lighting products. Customers pay per
period signing a 3-year service contract (all
hardware are not owned by the customer).

A RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS (LeNSes)
S.PSS APPLIED TO DRE:
SUSTAINABLE OPPORTUNITIES IN LOW AND MIDDLE-
INCOME (ALL) CONTEXTS:
“A S.PSS approach may act as a business opportunity to
facilitate the diffusion of DRE-based value production
system (satisfaction system) in low and middle-income
(all) contexts, reducing the (initial) cost of access to
energy, resulting in a key leverage for a sustainable
development process aiming at democratizing access to
resources, goods and services.”
