Life Cycle Assessment
July 25, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
$25 – $55Sustainability practitioners are frequently confronted with a tough question: “How do I measure that?” Here’s how.
This is a survey course on life cycle assessment. Participants will learn the steps involved and gain a basic understanding of the scope, challenges and possibilities in applying life cycle assessment to decision-making processes. An introduction to the use of LCAs to support Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) based on Product Category Rules (PCRs) will also be included.
This course provides an overview for sustainability practitioners wondering if LCA would be a good field to get into; who may need to hire a firm to do a detailed LCA and need to know enough about the process to oversee the project; need to understand LCA to produce Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), especially those interested in having their products eligible for LEED credit points in the building and construction industry; or who need an introduction to LCA before taking the ‘deep dive’ into certification training as a practitioner.
It will be $25 for members and $55 for non-members. Successful completion of all course requirements will earn a passing grade and an individualized Certificate of Completion, along with 1 CEU for ISSP-SA and ISSP-CSP credential holders.
