Prof. Steven Frysinger sf Prof. Steven Frysinger sf After successfully completing this module, students will be able to: - Define environmental science and describe the key environmental challenges presented by industrial society; - Define industrial ecology and explain the metaphorical relationship between industrial systems and biological ecosystems; - Interpret the _master equation_ of industrial ecology and explain the role of technology in the pursuit of a more sustainable industrial society; - Define and give examples of the concepts of Design for Environment and Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing; - Provide a detailed explanation of the Life Cycle Assessment methodology and carry out such an assessment on a product/system; - Discuss allocation of environmental loads to system components; - Interpret the role of Life Cycle Assessment in environmental management decision-making. We will study the theoretical underpinnings of IE, briefly examining the biological metaphor for industrial ecosystems. We will also address various elements of practice which are associated with IE, especially Life Cycle Assessment and Design for Environment. Our goal is to better understand how industrial ecology can help us to evolve into a sustainable industrial society. GRAEDEL, T. E./ B. R. ALLENBY, B.R.: Industrial Ecology. Prentice Hall, 2003.
