Life-cycle inventory of plywood manufacturing in the Pacific Northwest and the Southeast United States

Creator:: Sakimoto, Eric T.
Abstract:: Softwood plywood is one of the structural wood products studied in the CORRIM II effort to document the environmental performance of wood product in residential structures. Life-cycle inventory (LCI) models were developed to provide performance data for plywood production by tracking all of its inputs and outputs in a gate-to-gate...

Process-based modeling for cradle-to-gate energy and carbon footprint reduction in product design

Creator:: Alsaffar, Ahmed J.
Abstract:: Interest in accounting for environmental impacts of products, processes, and systems during the design phase is increasing. Numerous studies have undertaken investigations for reducing environmental impacts across the product life cycle. Efforts have also been launched to quantify such impacts more accurately. Life cycle energy consumption and carbon footprint are...

Investigation of the environmental impact of wind energy and supplemental energy systems using a life cycle approach

Creator:: Prempreeda, Preedanood
Abstract:: Wind energy is a promising alternative energy source due to its environmental, economic, and social benefits and, as such, has garnered public support and government incentives for its development and implementation. With the growing number of wind parks in Oregon, a life cycle assessment (LCA) study for a representative new...

Modeling innovativeness in consumer products with the influence of environmental sustainability

Creator:: Gilchrist, Brady
Abstract:: This thesis is the result of two research publications, which together form a framework for the evaluation of product innovativeness with potential future applications to early design. Innovation is a challenging concept to quantify. Experts seemingly have a grasp of what innovation is when they see it, however this evaluation...

Slow fashion development : a model for sustainability

Creator:: Tobeck, Matthew R.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to develop a slow fashion design model using the house of quality model (HOQ) to provide designers an opportunity to improve the overall sustainability of an apparel product. Slow fashion is based on the slow food movement that supports the consumption of food that...

Assisting decision making in component design for sustainable manufacturing

Creator:: Eastlick, Dane D.
Abstract:: Current life cycle assessment tools are often deficient in assisting design for sustainable manufacturing efforts. Integrating an improved assessment method into a decision support framework will provide a means for designers and engineers to better understand the impacts of their decisions. A unit process modeling-based sustainability assessment method is presented...

Life cycle inventory of laminated veneer lumber and composite I-joist manufacturing

Creator:: Dancer, Eric R.
Abstract:: The objective of this study is to complete life cycle inventories (LCI) for laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and composite I-joist (I-joist) production in the two main forest products producing regions in the U.S., the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Southeast (SE). LVL and I-joists are composite wood building materials that are...

Evaluating the Sustainability of an Advanced Biofuel Using Attributional and Consequential Life Cycle Assessments

Creator:: McDaniel, Allexander M.
Abstract:: Attributional and consequential life cycle assessments are useful in evaluating the environmental impacts of a process, product, or decision. Both types of life cycle assessments differ however in their scope and their ability to answer specific questions. In order to fully understand and compare the environmental impacts of a sugarcane...

Integrating sustainable manufacturing assessment into decision making for a production work cell

Creator:: Zhang, Hao
Abstract:: Sustainability has been the focus of intense discussions over the past two decades, with topics around the entire product life cycle. In the manufacturing phase, research has been focused solely on environmental impact assessment or environmental impact and cost analysis in its assessment of sustainability. However, few efforts have investigated...
