...Nina E. Kelly; Yongli Z. Wager Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the WayneRides program, a transit subsidy program for Wayne State students and employees. Design/methodology/approach This study uses life cycle assessment methodology to compare transportation modes...

... the pandemic-related effects. Design/methodology/approach Using the life cycle assessment methodology, this study analysed the university’s direct and indirect emissions during a regular year of operation (2019) and compared them with those generated during the lockdown periods in 2020. For the activity...

...), to avoid excessive over-estimations. For institutions willing to implement such an intervention on site, collaboration with an interdisciplinary team is recommended. Psychologists could perform a systematic behavioural analysis, life cycle assessment experts could conduct the impact assessment, facility...

... improvement and decarbonization are becoming increasingly critical objectives for the construction industry. Sustainable construction can be achieved through several practices, including: considering life-cycle assessment, circular construction, resource efficiency and waste management and providing eco...

... to show how the context of the pandemic, which demanded the transition from in-person classes to virtual classes, was used to illustrate better the concepts of life cycle assessment (LCA) for Production Engineering students in a Brazilian University. Design/methodology/approach The research strategy...

...Jesse Sherry; Shannon Tivona Purpose This study aims to use life cycle assessment to determine the environmental impact of food purchases at a small, liberal arts college. The authors also use the results to develop a simple decision-making tool for college and university dining services...

... This study aims to share experiences of an easy to adapt service-learning approach in a graduate course on life cycle assessment (LCA). Specifically, it reports on how students helped the university’s cafeteria to assess meals by conducting an LCA for 25 meals and identifying environmental hotspots...

... implemented using life cycle assessment (LCA) and its benefits for the university’s decision-makers. Design/methodology/approach To accomplish that, the study combines a description of environmentally sustainable practices at the 13 campuses of the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR...

..., 2017). It is also known that empirical evidence supports that universities act as important means for technological opportunities to the private sector (Klerovick et al., 1995). The purpose of this paper is to report on a life cycle assessment (LCA)-based ecodesign teaching practice via...

... the internet. Design/methodology/approach Life cycle environmental impacts of both versions of the report are modeled using the online environmental input‐output life cycle assessment (EIO‐LCA) tool. Most monetary model inputs were obtained from the University of Cincinnati and the others were estimated...

.... This project is part of an ongoing effort to quantify and reduce the university's environmental impacts. Design/methodology/approach The impacts of institutional purchases were analyzed using publicly available economic input‐output life cycle assessment software. This model allows users to estimate...
