Life Cycle Assessment Sample Clauses

Life Cycle Assessment. Life‐cycle assessment (LCA, also known as life‐cycle analysis) is a cradle‐to‐grave environmental impact assessment for built assets, in terms of materials and energy. The energy and materials used, along with waste and pollutants produced as a consequence of a product or activity, are quantified over the whole life cycle; the result representing the environmental load of that asset. ISO 14040 defines LCA methodology.

Life Cycle Assessment. 6.2.1 Eco_REFITEC project The ECO-REFITEC project (FP7 project; 20011-14) involving several partners of SHIPLYS included the development of a database of eco-innovative processes, materials and specific modules to be used in the repair and modernisation of existing ships in small and medium-size shipyards. SHIPLYS will further develop and merge the shipyard processing simulation software and life cycle tools developed in ECO-REFITEC towards an LCCA package that is integrated within the SHIPLYS framework. The ECO-REFITEC project helped repair shipyards and ship operator to perform a refitting of existing fleet, through of technological development and new tools, helping shipping benchmark their performance, improving the retrofit processes and products, and assessing environmental and life cycle cost impact. For ECO-REFITEC project it is mainly emphasising the operation phase where eco- innovative processes, materials and modules can be applied, retrofitted and analysed so the methodology can be extended and used for other three sections. The flows and boundary of operation phase in ECO-REFITEC project is presented in Figure 13. This phase was divided into three categories for modelling (Figure 14). The LCA methodology used in ECO-REFITEC project are referred to ISO standard 14040 (2006) and 14044 (2006). The details of the methodology will be presented in Section 5.2.5. Life cycle modelling. To carry out a LCA study in ECO-REFITEC, the goal and scope of the study was considered and determined first in order to define product/process and purpose of the analysis and also the targets of the product/process. The analysis is to evaluate the environment impact of different innovative processes to help shipyards or other institutes to make decisions. Then with definition of goal and scope, the system flows and boundaries can be determined to help construct the database. For one case study from ECO-REFITEC as an example, it investigated the environmental impact of three types of ballast water treatment systems (BWT Systems) and the energy flows involved in this process were determined. The boundaries of the processes were also indicated so the database categories can be identified. The analysis method used in ECO-REFITEC project was CML, 2010. This method is open to use and also is available in the GaBi software. It focuses on the mid-point level of environment impact, such as global warming potential, acidification potential and so on. With CML method, these impa...

Life Cycle Assessment. Using as starting point the previous results of WP08, as well as the results from WP10 (Life Cycle Assessment) we carried out a detailed inventory of impacts (LCI) and a Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) of all the activities related with the water management in general, and the desalination treatments in particular. Detailed information can be found in the WP08 Deliverable 8.1. As an example, Figure 23a shows the environmental impacts of each one of the main stages of the shale gas production, while Figure 23b presents the comparison of the environmental impacts of each damage subcategory for the different disalination technologies studied.

Life Cycle Assessment. Life cycle assessments (LCA) are compilations and interpretations of • inputs and outputs between the technosphere and the environment and • potential environmental impacts of a product or product system • along the total product life cycle. Therefore, life cycle assessments provide comprehensive information about many different environmental impacts of products and services “from cradle to grave,” not just about individual production steps or environmental problems. Life cycle assessments form the basis for environmentally compatible product design and for fundamental decisions related to energy, environmental, and technology policies and to corporate strategies. Most of the procedure for conducting life cycle assessments is defined by ISO standards 14040/44. According to it, a life cycle assessment involves four phases:

  • Evaluation Cycle: Formative Assessment A) A specific purpose for evaluation is to promote student learning, growth and achievement by providing Educators with feedback for improvement. Evaluators are expected to make frequent unannounced visits to classrooms. Evaluators are expected to give targeted constructive feedback to Educators based on their observations of practice, examination of artifacts, and analysis of multiple measures of student learning, growth and achievement in relation to the Standards and Indicators of Effective Teaching Practice.

  • Performance Assessment 6.1 The Performance Plan (Annexure A) to this Agreement sets out key performance indicators and competencies that needs to be evaluated in terms of –
