CEE 624 Environmental Life Cycle Assessment

Credits: (3-0) 3

Environmental life-cycle assessment (ELCA) is a framework for evaluation of the environmental consequences of products, services, and engineering systems. ELCA allows for consistent comparisons of alternate system designs for their environmental performances. This involves the assessment of multiple environmental impact categories from climate change via acidification to toxic impacts. This course is a graduate-level introduction to ELCA and presents applications of ELCA to various designs, including photovoltaic systems, water management systems, etc.
