Measuring Environmental Impact Life Cycle Assessment for Sustainable Practices Micro-credential Trinity College Dublin

Overview

This Measuring Environmental Impact Life Cycle Assessment for Sustainable Practices Micro-credential from Trinity College Dublin allows you to upskill and develop core knowledge to design and manage assets through a life cycle lens. Specifically, you will:

• Gain practical knowledge of the LCA process according to the ISO 14000 family of standards, and a capacity to undertake a LCA for any existing product, system, or process in line with these best-practice standards.

• Apply critical evaluation skills to review other life cycle studies to ensure quality assurance of the conclusions and recommendations.

• Develop the capacity to produce practical guidance from ecometric study findings to inform more sustainable engineering products, systems, and processes.

• Develop the ability to undertake an advanced circular measurement and assessment in line with the new ISO 59000 family of standards to further enhance the sustainability of new products, systems, or processes. Our Micro-credentials are all CPD approved by Engineers Ireland.

What will I do?

• Explore the role of different methodologies and concepts relating to LCA, life cycle thinking and the circular economy through a critical review of existing research in the field.

• Describe the principles and procedures of LCAs, circularity measurement, and assessment methodology.

• Undertake a detailed LCA of an engineering product/system and define measures to reduce the environmental impacts of a product/system using life cycle assessment findings.
