Laboratory Computational Modelling in LCA

About the laboratory

The laboratory "Computational Modelling in LCA" aims at providing the students with scientific modelling and programming tools to perform more comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies for emerging technologies.

 

Tools

Brightway2 logo

Brightway2 is a open source framework for life cycle assessment (LCA). It is designed to be easy to use, while still being powerful. The core principles of Brightway2 are simplicity, innovation, and power. Brightway2 is for people who want more than is possible with current LCA or sustainability software. Researchers and academics are particularly suitable, because the power that Brightway2 brings is worth the cost of learning a new software and possibly a new language.

Content

  • Overview of computational modelling tools and approaches in LCA
  • Introduction to python for data analysis
  • Development of integrated LCA models for the analysis of complex product systems
  • Development of tools for interpretation and engineering support in the context of life cycle engineering

Target Audience

The laboratory "Computational Modelling in LCA" is particularly directed at students of mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, but also at students from other disciplines such as Technology-Oriented Management (TOM), geoecology and environmental sciences. The laboratory is offered through the Master's program in mechanical engineering focusing on production and systems engineering. An updated list of elegible courses of study can be seen in the module handbook (Modulhandbuch) provided by the Technische Universität Braunschweig. The laboratory is taught in English.

Organizational Matters

Semester: Winter
