(1993-01)
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory and the University of Michigan are cooperating in a project to reduce environmental impacts and health risks through product system ...
Life Cycle Design of a Fuel Tank System
(1997)
This life cycle design (LCD) project was a collaborative effort between the National Pollution Prevention Center at the University of Michigan, General Motors (GM), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The ...
Risk Analysis: Water Resources Education
(1994)
The concepts of risk, uncertainty, risk analysis, and risk-benefit analysis have become working tools of the water resource professional. In reality, hydrologists, flood control specialists, and water resource planners and ...
PV-BILD: A Life Cycle Environmental and Economic Assessment Tool for Building-Integrated Photovoltaic Installations
(1999-12-20)
An elegant application of photovoltaic (PV) technology is in building-integrated designs (BIPV), in which the PV modules become an integral part of the building envelope. BIPV systems perform the traditional architectural ...
PV-BIDPAT: An Evaluation and Design Tool for Building Integrated Photovoltaic Installations
(1999)
This paper discusses the development of a software tool called PV-BIDPAT, that is used to evaluate, design, and plan building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) installations. The tool consists of life cycle inventory and life ...
A Life Cycle Approach to Product System Design
(1993)
Integrating environmental requirements into the earliest stages of design is a fundamental component of product life cycle management. Still, there is much work to be done to help industry practice this approach. An important ...
Life Cycle Design
(1996-07-01)
Design offers an excellent opportunity to reduce environmental burdens associated with products and processes, which ultimately can lead to a more sustainable relationship between economic and ecological systems. Guiding ...
