Course contents This course presents advanced strategies for materials selection, integrating technical functionality with environmental sustainability. The programme focuses on the definition of performance indices and the analysis of the material life cycle, providing doctoral candidates with the tools needed to optimize component design while minimizing ecological impact. The curriculum introduces the fundamental principles of materials selection through the definition of performance indices, such as the optimization of component lightness based on density and mechanical properties. Using material property charts, students will learn rapid selection techniques and extend these methodologies to environmental studies through the definition of ecological performance indices. [...]

Course contents This course provides an advanced exploration of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies, following the international standards ISO 14040 and 14044. The programme focuses on the environmental evaluation of energy systems, providing doctoral candidates with the analytical tools to monitor and improve the sustainability performance of products and services throughout their entire life cycle. The curriculum covers the four fundamental stages of LCA: goal and scope definition, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. Students will examine the most widely used models and updated databases for inventory analysis, specifically focusing on the proper evaluation of reference systems for electricity and [...]
