Abstract
When referring to sustainability, the expression must be understood in terms of environmental, social and economic factors, with an emphasis on the breadth of its scope. Computational solutions involve consumer goods and hence it should be responsibility of the software and hardware industry, (as well as its designers and developers), to ensure that there is an awareness of the need for sustainability. The literature includes several works that address the question of sustainable design. However, there are few studies that deal with sustainability in terms of design and its Computing technology is still in its early stages. In light of this, this paper has formalized a set of recommendations to guide the designers in the creation of computational solutions, and thus allow the sustainability factors in design to be considered. The guidelines were applied in an academic scenario and three specialists evaluated the solutions made with and without them. The results suggest that the guidelines supported the sustainable development of Computing technologies.
