MethodologySystems Dynamics Simulation Modeling
Studying and managing complex feedback systems using dynamic hypothesis. It involves designing and fine-tuning computer models to simulate a business, social, environmental or other process.
Ecological Footprinting
Approximating the amount of ecologically productive land and sea area required to manufacture a product, by accounting the use of energy, food, water, building material and other consumables.
Carbon Footrprinting & Benchmarking
Measuring the amount of CO2 (greenhouse gas) emitted by combusting fossil fuels; used by a product, service, organization, household or individual. It is directly related to the amount of natural resources used. Benchmarking is a process which leads to superior performance by comparison to others.
Embedded Energy Analyses
Determining the amount of energy needed to produce, transport and place a product/service/material/consumable into service. (e.g. It is estimated that each calorie of food consumed in the USA requires 7 calories of embedded energy before consumption). Traditional energy analyses look only at the amount of energy needed or consumed.
Life Cycle Analyses
Accounting the cost and impacts in relationship to activities performed to develop a product or service from creation to retirement. It includes researching the environmental impact of raw material production, manufacture, distribution, use and disposal of a product or service. LCA costs are usually expressed in either lump sums, present value terms, or equivalent uniform annual values.
Life Cycle Management
Managing a product or service from cradle to grave, or to its next iteration. LCM is a succession of strategies used throughout the life cycle to optimize and minimize an impact (e.g. cost, CO2, energy, environmental, etc).
