CEGE0021 - Civil Engineering in Practice

Sustainable Infrastructure

Coursework (set on 25th  January and due on 8th  March @5pm)

Conduct a simple LCA of the kenaf fibre insulation board and prepare a technical LCA report. LCA technical report must be prepared individually and submitted via Turnitin.

In addition to the report submission, you are required to submit the excel file of your LCA  calculation via Turnitin.  Your report needs to be complete without being referenced to the excel file.

Report must contain no more than 2000 words (excluding tables, figures and references) and include the following points:

1.   Introduce the case study briefly and provide key information related to LCA

methods including functional unit, system boundary, key data, data sources and environmental impact indicators used.

2.  What are the key findings from your LCA study?

In this section you should describe the key factors that contribute to the environmental impacts and present the findings with tables and graphs. At least two different types of environmental impact need to be considered.

3.   How can the results help you improve your design to reduce the environmental impacts of the kenaf fibre insulation board?

Based on the above section, you need to change the key factors to see how the environmental impacts might change and discuss the possible solutions to reduce the environmental impact if you were to redesign the system.

4.   Discuss key assumptions and limitation in your study.

For reports over the word limit, a penalty of five marks will be applied.

References:  Take care to cite any sources of information used in preparing your report. A    full list of references must be included at the end of the assignment and cross-referenced to those in the body of the work using the Harvard referencing system.
