Biography

Arpad Horvath is the L. E. Peirano Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley (http://faculty.ce.berkeley.edu/horvath/), Head of the Energy, Civil Infrastructure and Climate Graduate Program, Director of the Transportation Sustainability Research Center, and Director of the Engineering and Business for Sustainability Certificate Program.

Arpad Horvath is a member of the U.S National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Construction.

He is the Editor-in-Chief of Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability.

His research focuses on life-cycle environmental assessment of products, processes, and services, particularly answering important questions about civil infrastructure systems and the built environment. He has conducted studies on the environmental implications of various products, processes and services, in particular, buildings, transportation systems, water and wastewater systems, concrete and other construction materials, pavements, and biofuels.

Arpad Horvath is an author of 135 peer-reviewed articles in the top international journals. The full list of publications, awards, teaching, and student information can be found here.

Professor Horvath was a member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board (Environmental Engineering Committee) between 2010 and 2015, and a member of the Science Advisory Board's Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards Committee between 2011 and 2016.

He was a Co-Chair of the Environmental Research 2023 Conference as well as the the Environmental Research 2021 Conference, the largest environmental research conferences by attendance to date.

In 2021, he was the Chair of the 2nd Food-Energy-Water Nexus Conference.

He is an Editorial Board member of Environmental Research Letters, Editorial Advisory Board member of the Journal of Industrial Ecology, past Associate Editor of the Journal of Infrastructure Systems, and past Editorial Advisory Board member of Environmental Science & Technology. He was a Council Member of the International Society for Industrial Ecology between 2014 and 2016.

He has been a consultant to dozens of companies, industry organizations, and government agencies around the world.

In addition to several recent conference organization roles, he was Conference Chair of the 6th International Conference on Industrial Ecology in 2011, the world’s largest conference in sustainability research to that date.

Arpad Horvath is a recipient of the International Society for Industrial Ecology’s Laudise Prize, the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize, the UC Berkeley Chancellor's Sustainability Award, and the Excellence in Review Award from Environmental Science & Technology. Three of his papers have been voted into the top three papers in Environmental Science & Technology in 2008, 2011, and 2012.

CE268E Environmental Life-Cycle Assessment

Fall 2024

Description: Methods and tools for economic and environmental analysis of civil systems. Life-cycle planning, design, costing, financing, and environmental assessment. Industrial ecology, design for environment, pollution prevention, external costs. Models and software tools for life-cycle economic and environmental inventory, impact, and improvement analysis of engineered systems. Focus on manufacturing, construction, transportation, operation and maintenance, and end of life.

Objectives:

To develop knowledge of the economic and environmental implications of engineered systems. Examples focus on products, processes, and services, with particular emphasis on infrastructure, transportation, manufacturing, and the service industries.
To educate “tomorrow’s civil systems engineers and master integrators” about the concepts, methods, and tools of environmentally-conscious construction, transportation, and infrastructure.
To teach practical methods and tools needed to reduce the environmental footprint of engineered systems, thus contributing to sustainable development.
To initiate research on the interactions of engineered systems and the environment.
To gain hands-on experience with the latest environmental assessment methods and software.

After taking this course, students will be able to analyze the environmental impacts of engineered systems.

Class Schedule: The class is scheduled to meet Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 9:10 to 10:00 am in 502 Davis Hall. The lecture and assignment schedule is below.

Text and Readings. There will be a printed course Reader (for purchase) with about 40 readings.

Course project. The course will provide an opportunity for the development of an original research report/paper that analyzes current environmental issues and presents alternative solutions. The goal is to make an original contribution to the environmental systems analysis or policy discourse, and if possible, literature.

A course project should be completed in groups of 5-6 students on a topic of your choosing, mutually agreed upon with the instructor. The instructor will review the abstract of the project, and approve it or suggest changes if appropriate. The project should be written up in a midterm and a final report of professional quality, addressing the relevant issues and actual or possible solutions, with references to the literature. A final presentation of the course project will be scheduled in the last two weeks of the semester.

Assignments, Examinations and Grading. Contributions to the course grade are:

3 homeworks @8% (24%)

Midterm project report (20%)

Final project presentation (5%) and final project report (31%)

Take-home final exam (20%)
