5. 3. Engineering Designers' Requirements on Design for Environment Methods and Tools

   Author : Mattias Lindahl; Margareta Norell Bergendahl; Tim McAlonone; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental technology; Design for Environment; Methods and Tools; Requirements; Miljöteknik; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

   Abstract : Given a special focus on Design for Environment (DfE) methods and tools, the objectives of this thesis are to, “Identify basic design-related requirements that a method or tool should fulfill in order to become actively used by engineering designers”, and to “Investigate how those basic requirements could be used to make DfE methods and tools more actively used in industry among engineering designers”. The research has shown that designers in general have three main purposes for utilizing methods and tools, of which the last two could be seen as subsets of the first one. READ MORE

While the life cycle of a residential building is an important source of environmental concern, knowledge about LCA remains scarce and sporadic in most construction companies. READ MORE

7. 5. Farm-based technologies for management of risks from irrigation with wastewater-polluted sources in Cochabamba, Bolivia

   Author : Luis Fernando Perez Mercado; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Wastewater irrigation is a global practice that allows reusing water and nutrients in agriculture, but also poses risks of introducing pathogens/pollutants into agricultural systems and food. In order to manage these risks, on-farm measures can be implemented as barriers along the pathway that pathogens/pollutants must follow to reach the population/place at risk, in cases where treatment plants are not a viable option.
