Selected topics of life cycle assessment ILV
Selected topics of life cycle assessment ILV | WS2026/27
Content
Prerequisite for the course:
- theory bridge course
IC content:
- in-depth studies of life cycle assessment (LCA) and related methodologies like Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF), Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
- allocation (e.g. system expansion, economic and mass based allocation)
- impact assessment (normalization, weighting, interactions and correlations of impact categories)
- different methods and characterization models including e.g. Environmental Footprint, IPCC, CML and AWARE
- modelling of end of life (e.g. waste management processes with the Circular Footprint Formula)
- sensitivity analyses to assess the influence of a changed parameter on the LCA results arising from e.g. data quality, cut-off criteria, allocation method)
Teaching method
Presentational methods:
- Teaching and learning methods
Participatory methods:
- Blended learning
- Exercises
- Individual tasks
- Group work
- Presentations by the students
Examination
Immanente Leistungsüberprüfung
The integrated course is assessed through formative assessment. By awarding points during the integrated course (ongoing performance evaluation + 80% mandatory attendance) and not just at the end through a final examination, several advantages arise:
- The workload is distributed evenly throughout the semester.
- The assessment does not represent a snapshot.
- Teaching methods can be modified and adjusted as needed.
- Students take active responsibility for the learning process and receive individual courses for action.
