CONTENT SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is the prevailing framework for evaluation of the environmental consequences of products, services, and energy systems. LCA allows for consistent comparisons of alternate system designs with respect their environmental performance. This course provides an introduction to the LCA framework. Firstly, methodological essentials of LCA are introduced which involves the mathematical structure of LCA, application of LCA and case studies for different assessment. While the second part focuses on the hands-on experience that utilise SIMAPRO / GaBi software and also on the way forward in sustainability with LCA.
Part 1: Life Cycle Thinking and Value to Business
- Introduction of Life Cycle Thinking
- LCA value to business
Part 2: Methodology on Life Cycle Assessment
- LCA Methodology with ISO 14040
- Detailed walkthrough of LCA case studies
Part 3: Practical Session – LCA Modelling
- Hands-on session in developing a LCA model
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
