Embed systemic equity throughout industrial ecology applications
Recent calls have been made for equity tools and frameworks to be integrated throughout the research and design life cycle —from conception to implementation—with an emphasis on reducing inequity in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications. Simply stating that equity should be integrated throughout, however, leaves much to be desired as industrial ecology (IE) researchers, practitioners, and decision‐makers attempt to e…
Evaluation of environmental and economic implications of a cold‐weather aquaponic food production system using life cycle assessment and economic analysis
Aquaponics, in which fish and plants are grown in a symbiotic closed‐loop industrial metabolism, are promising test beds to implement industrial ecology in food production at a commercial scale. These systems have the potential to enhance the environmental and economic performance of aquaculture systems by reducing the overall burden on natural ecosystems (i.e., reducing resource and emission‐based impacts per unit of food produced). To holistica…
The role of community‐based learning in teaching about industrial ecology and sustainability in the context of engineering education
Industrial ecology and sustainability education have evolved over time, as this relatively new discipline has emerged and has been refined. Courses engaging with these topics are often found in engineering departments, and feature project or problem‐based learning (PBL) commonly with an industrial partner. This provides students the opportunity to apply the topics that they have learned in class in a real‐world situation, complete with the constr…
Autonomous vehicle adoption
This paper investigates the environmental trade offs resulting from the adoption of autonomous vehicles (AVs) as a function of modal shifts and use phase. An empirical approach is taken to formulate a mode choice model informed from a stated preference (SP) survey conducted in Madison, Wisconsin. A life cycle analysis based on well-to-wheel model is then conducted to quantify the use phase environmental impacts across different categories. The mo…
Environmental Implications of Consumer Convenience
Products of convenience are playing an increasingly large role in today's society. These products provide a competitive advantage over their conventional counterparts by requiring less time and effort to produce a similar service or experience. At the same time, these products are often also more materials intensive to produce and create a greater amount of waste. A comparative midpoint life cycle assessment of different coffee brewing systems is…
Emergent Effects of Residential Lighting Choices
Artificial lighting has allowed the decoupling of human activities from natural daylight hours. Electricity utilized for artificial lighting accounts for 18.8% of U.S. electricity consumption. Compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) and light‐emitting diode (LED) options are more efficient and have longer lifetimes than conventional incandescent bulbs, but the question remains about the actual energy savings likely to be realized through more efficient li…
