Okala guide 2007 edition
Source: idsa.org


Okala provides an introduction to ecological and sustainable design for practicing and beginning designers. Okala means "life sustaining energy" in indigenous Hopi language. It envisions a future where we recognize the value of global ecology and work to insure its protection. The Okala guide revised in 2007 with emphasis on usability to practicing designers and design students. Key attributes of this revised edition include:
  • Updated Lifecycle Impact Assessment methods that include use the newest environmental impact characterization methods and normalization data from the US EPA, as well as the newest weighting values from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
  • Okala impact factors (incorporating the aforementioned methods) for 240 materials and processes which enable estimation of the ecological performance of any product or system
  • Global climate change values (in CO2 equivalents) for the same 240 materials and processes
  • State of the art design guidelines for disassembly and recycling
  • Expanded explorations in environmental ethics, bio-mimicry, and design to stop climate change
  • Additional references to socio-economic relationships
  • New Green Marketing data and Product Life Cycle costing analysis
Okala was co-developed by Philip White, Louise St. Pierre and Steve Belletire. Eastman Chemical, Whirlpool and the IDSA/EPA Partnership supported its development. The course modules were designed to be easy to integrate into existing classes. Over 60 design schools in North America requested the Okala materials.

For self paced learning or even for enhanced supplement material web design tutorials are easily available at number of sites for wide range of audience. In different institutes web development degree might be the better option for professional people. Nevertheless it is all about producing better and efficient website design in the world of World Wide Web.
