Green product design is a key approach to achieving sustainable manufacturing. In the design process, the complex dependencies among function, structure, materials, and processes, along with the influence of multidimensional constraints, directly affect the optimality and feasibility of design solutions. To address this, this paper proposes a dual layer network (DLN) model to explicitly describe the hierarchical dependencies among function, structure, materials, and processes, while representing the impact of constraints on design decisions in a separate constraint layer. Based on this model, a constraint-driven heuristic search method is introduced to generate an initial population that satisfies the constraints. Bayesian optimization is then applied to identify the design solution with the lowest environmental impact. A case study on a 2.5 MW wind turbine is conducted to validate the proposed method. The results demonstrate that the DLN model effectively supports green design optimization for complex products, improving both environmental sustainability and feasibility.
