Learn to represent and quantify material and energy flows relevant to the process as input or output variables in the various life phases of the product, process or service. In addition, you will be able to use the Life Cycle Assessment tool for process optimisation decisions that focus on added value.
Course Content
▶ Various phases of LCA and their areas of application
▶ Autonomous implementation of life cycle assessments
▶ Development of standardized methods for account balancing according to DIN norm
▶ Interpretation of LCA analyses and evaluation of improvement potentials
Group of Participants
You are an engineer and/or project manager from the fields of production, environmental management, research and development or strategic management with at least one year of relevant professional experience.
Motivation
Achieving a leading role in environmental protection and thus remaining competitive in the climate policy environment requires many industrial companies to implement decisive measures to reduce environmental impacts. In order to identify suitable activities, a detailed environmental assessment is required: the so-called "Life Cycle Assessment" offers a widely approved and highly effective method for this purpose.
Methodology
In five days of attendance, participants will learn to evaluate analysis results and to evaluate potential for improvement through lectures and the independent performance of an LCA study. The new knowledge is complemented by a company visit and introduction to the GaBi software, including a corresponding application exercise.On the last day of the course, participants take an exam in the form of a LCA group work followed by a presentation of the results.
