About this Unit
Analysis of sustainability with engineering perspective is increasingly becoming important in the modern world. Also, in the future sustainability will include risk engineering. Hence, engineers with in-depth understanding of different tools that can be used for both sustainability and risk analysis will have significant edge in their future career. The main objective of this unit is to introduce different tools available for sustainability and risk analysis in various engineering applications. The content includes renewable/alternative energy systems, energy/resource efficiency, sustainable/green buildings, sustainable transport and infrastructure, sustainable water management, environmental management systems, sustainability reporting, life cycle analysis, probability/reliability theory, risk assessment models, overall system analysis.
