There is now clear evidence regarding the extensive use of furniture and appliances in daily human life, but there is less evidence of their impact on the environment. Responding to this gap in knowledge, this study focuses on an assessment of the environm ...
Introduction Health and climate change are inexorably linked through the exacerbation of health risks and the contribution of the health sector to greenhouse gas emissions. Climate action in healthcare settings is critical to reduce risks and impacts of cl ...
The focus and challenge for energy engineering in the context of rapid climate change is summarised by the Europe 20-20-20 targets, committing to a reduction in energy consumption of 20%. The most logical approach to achieve these goals is to target the mo ...
Changing consumption patterns and global population growth lead to ever-increasing waste generation. Human activity and waste generation are irrevocably linked, and the current situation thus calls for a more circular approach to waste management, where wa ...
This work proposes a new direction in structural design: the synthesis of structures through the reuse of elements. Reusing structural elements reduces the environmental impacts of building structures because it avoids sourcing new material, it reduces was ...

The latest Living Planet Report of WWF shows that we used the regenerative capacity of 1.5 planets in 2010 at present consumption levels. An increasing number of companies set targets to lower the impact of their activities on the environment, but such tar ...
A regional resource flow model is applicable for examining the resource efficiency at a regional level and at different scales varying from regions to urban areas and also smaller local development project areas. The Jyväskylä region has been the first in ...
Environmental concern requires manufacturers to extend the domain of their control and responsibility across the product's life cycle. Much of the research has concentrated on assessment of environmental performance through the application of the Life Cycl ...
The paper addresses the outcomes of the analysis of state-of-the-art indicator-based approaches for the environmental impact assessment to quantify the impact of natural resources consumption. Life cycle based assessment methods are applied on the case of ...
