Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA)

The following are good examples from Minneapolis College of Art and Design students in the online Masters in Sustainable Design program. The PDF’s first page lists faculty feedback on what worked and what could be improved. 

Example 1: charging cart

Example 2: a refrigerator

 
Example 3: comparing two designs to choose between options.

The website ProductDesign.green contains conglomerations of LCAs for different product categories, based on academic and industry publications.  These LCAs also contain suggested sustainable design strategies.
