  • Planning for Net-Zero Urban Environments in the Hot Mediterranean Climate through Building-Integrated Photovoltaics

  • When floodplain restoration meets socio‐ecological goals for rural stormwater management

    Open AccessLisa A Peterson, Patricia M Awerbuch et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2025

    Floodplain restoration is an approved stormwater management method, but rarely chosen by developers due to the perceived high cost and lengthy approvals required from regulatory agencies. Yet, when chosen, restoring a floodplain yields significant environmental benefits for the community due to improved flood resiliency and wetland habitat and superior reduction of negative externalities. In 2012, a corporation in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, …

  • Environmental and economic implications of stormwater management alternatives in rural development

    Open AccessLisa A Peterson, Patricia M Awerbuch et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2021

    Floodplain restoration as a means of stormwater management (SWM) can benefit communities and the environment but is uncommonly chosen due to limited familiarity in rural and urban planning. This study uses life cycle assessment and life cycle costing (LCC) to compare four SWM alternatives for a typical rural setting undergoing development. We evaluate a case study in Lancaster County, PA in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed which, through community st…

  • Estimating Materials Stocked by Land‐Use Type in Historic Urban Buildings Using Spatio‐Temporal Analytical Tools

    Open AccessKimberlee A Marcellus‐Zamora, Kimberlee Angelita Marcellus-Zamora et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2016

    The construction industry is an important contributor to urban economic development and consumes large volumes of building material that are stocked in cities over long periods. Those stocked spaces store valuable materials that may be available for recovery in the future. Thus quantifying the urban building stock is important for managing construction materials across the building life cycle. This article develops a new approach to urban buildin…

  • Sustainability as a Guiding Paradigm for Prosperity

    Open AccessSabrina Spatari, Paul Kohl et al.CHAPTERWiley Encyclopedia of Management2015

    The level of prosperity present in today's society is strongly linked to an economic system that has a high level of resource consumption and activities, including services that generate waste.

  • Cost and greenhouse gas emission tradeoffs of alternative uses of lignin for second generation ethanol

    Open AccessGhasideh Pourhashem, Paul R Adler et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Second generation ethanol bioconversion technologies are under demonstration-scale development for the production of lignocellulosic fuels to meet the US federal Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS2). Bioconversion technology utilizes the fermentable sugars generated from the cellulosic fraction of the feedstock, and most commonly assumes that the lignin fraction may be used as a source of thermal and electrical energy. We examine the life cycle greenh…

  • Using Life Cycle Assessment to Evaluate Green and Grey Combined Sewer Overflow Control Strategies

    Open AccessMaria Raquel Catalano de Sousa, Franco Montalto et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2012

    Decentralized approaches to managing urban stormwater are gaining increased attention within the contexts of urban sustainability, climate change adaptation, and as a means of reducing combined sewer overflows (CSOs). This study applied a life cycle assessment (LCA) to comparing the environmental efficiency of three means of equivalently reducing CSOs to the Bronx River (Bronx, NY, USA). Strategy 1 featured decentralized green infrastructure tech…

  • The Place of Planning in Sustainability Metrics for Public Works

    Open AccessRichardson Dilworth, Robert Stokes et al.ARTICLEPublic Works Management & Policy2011References: 7

    This article reports and analyzes survey and focus group data regarding baseline goals for public works administration, against which new metrics can be constructed that meaningfully reflect the ideals implied by the notion of sustainability, focusing in particular on four policy areas in the Philadelphia metropolitan region.We administered a survey to key informants, all of whom had also agreed to participate in focus groups.The major conclusion…

  • The contribution of enzymes and process chemicals to the life cycle of ethanol

    Open AccessHeather L MacLean, Sabrina SpatariARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2009

    Most life cycle studies of biofuels have not examined the impact of process chemicals and enzymes, both necessary inputs to biochemical production and which vary depending upon the technology platform (feedstock, pretreatment and hydrolysis system). We examine whether this omission is warranted for sugar-platform technologies. We develop life cycle ('well-to-tank') case studies for a corn dry-mill and for one 'mature' and two near-term lignocellu…

  • The Multilevel Cycle of Anthropogenic Zinc

    Open AccessT E Graedel, Dick van Beers et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2005

    A comprehensive annual cycle for stocks and flows of zinc, based on data from circa 1994 and incorporating information on extraction, processing, fabrication, use, discard, recycling, and landfilling, was carried out at three discrete governmental unit levels—54 countries and 1 country group (which together comprise essentially all global anthropogenic zinc stocks and flows), nine world regions, and the planet as a whole. All of these cycles are …
