Free MIT webinar: Improving the sustainability of roadways through streamlined LCA
Please join us for our next Global Leaders in Environmental Assessment and Performance Sustainability Speaker Series webinar, taking place Friday, November 2nd from 10:00-11:00am ET. As part of our continuing series on streamlined life cycle analysis (LCA), our next speaker will be Jamie Meil, Managing Director of the Athena Sustainable Materials Institute. Jamie will be discussing their Impact Estimator for Highways software, an innovative approach to calculating a highway's environmental impact that considers the materials, construction, and maintenance phases of the life cycle. The software includes a large materials database and can be used during the design phase to evaluate and compare potential designs in terms of their environmental impact.
Whether or not the sustainability of highways is in your bailiwick, this webinar will touch on a number of overarching issues within the field of life cycle analysis, such as developing a streamlined approach to LCA in conjunction with a wide range of stakeholders, addressing issues around data collection and maintenance, and incorporating a complex and uncertain use phase into the life cycle. I hope you can join us!
