About this course

This is a project-based course that focuses on the application of quantitative sustainable design (QSD) to energy technologies. QSD is a framework linking design and operational decisions to sustainability indicators to inform decision-making. This allows for navigation of trade-offs across environmental, economic, and social dimensions of sustainability. In this course students will learn methods for economic analyses (TEA - techno-economic analysis, LCC - life cycle costing) and environmental sustainability assessment (LCA - life cycle assessment) as well as uncertainty and sensitivity analyses. Students will apply this process to a semester-long design project of an energy technology of interest.
