Description for The Computational Structure of Life Cycle Assessment (Eco-Efficiency in Industry and Science)
Hardcover. Life Cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool for environmental decision-support in relation to products from the cradle to the grave. This book presents the coherent treatment of the mathematical and algorithmic aspects of LCA. It presents these computational aspects in matrix form, which provides a platform for further extension of analysis. Series: Eco-Efficiency in Industry & Science. Num Pages: 243 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 240 x 165 x 21. Weight in Grams: 548.
Life Cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool for environmental decision-support in relation to products from the cradle to the grave. Until now, more emphasis has been put on the inclusion quantitative models and databases and on the design of guidebooks for applying LCA than on the integrative aspect of combining these models and data. This is a remarkable thing, since LCA in practice deals with thousands of quantitative data items that have to be combined in the correct manner. For this, one needs mathematical rules and algorithmic principles for carrying out an LCA.

Reviews for The Computational Structure of Life Cycle Assessment (Eco-Efficiency in Industry and Science)
"Heijungs and Suh's Computational Structure of Life Cycles Assessment fills a gap in the methodological literature supporting life-cycle assessments (LCA). It provides a consistent approach, terminology, and notation previously lacking and only partially addressed by archival literature and standardization efforts. Much of the book focuses on the computational aspects of inventory analysis using linear algebra. The construction has atleast three ... Read more
