This document discusses the 12 Principles of Green Engineering, which provide a framework for designing sustainable materials, products, processes, and systems. The principles can be applied at different scales from molecular to product to system levels. The first principle emphasizes designing systems to be inherently non-hazardous rather than relying on circumstantial controls. Life cycle considerations are also important to avoid simply shifting impacts to other stages. While some hazardous inputs may be unavoidable, it is better to prevent waste than treat it after formation. The principles aim to maximize sustainability through science and engineering design.
NASA is promoting green engineering principles to reduce environmental risks and costs. Green engineering aims to minimize environmental impacts over a product's lifecycle through design. NASA is developing tools to help engineers select more sustainable materials and identify emerging regulatory risks. Courses teach green engineering techniques, and centers evaluate alternative technologies. Embracing green engineering may reduce health/safety risks, costs, and gain public support while enabling innovation.
Complexity Science Through the Lens of Gardening Daniel Walsh
Complexity Science Through the Lens of Gardening - Permaculture Principles for Complex Systems Design
In this session, we will explore complexity science through the lens of an interdisciplinary gardening system called permaculture. Complexity science is a trans-disciplinary effort with investigators from different disciplines working jointly to create new concepts, theories, and methods that integrate and move beyond discipline-specific approaches. In the mid-twentieth century, a diverse set of research domains such as biology (Turing), chemistry (Prigogine), meteorology (Poincare & Lorenz), and mathematics (Weaver & Mandelbrot) discovered that complexity was a new kind of science, and principles like non-linearity and sensitivity to initial conditions were found to be relevant to complex systems regardless of the domain.
Anyone who works with people - from the smallest teams to the largest organizations - works within complex adaptive systems. Daniel Walsh will introduce participants to permaculture design principles and facilitate small group discussions on how these pragmatic principles might be repurposed across domains to inform interventions and lead positive change within teams and organizations.

Micro - algae cultivation for biofuels: cost, energy balance, environmental i...Alejandro Roldan
Micro-algae have potential as a feedstock for biofuels but their economic viability and environmental sustainability depends on the energy and carbon balance, environmental impacts, and production costs. Most studies find that achieving a positive energy balance requires technological advances, and aspects like pumping energy, construction materials, fertilizer, and drying require further optimization. Environmental impacts from water, carbon dioxide, and nutrients could constrain design options. Cost estimates need better empirical data from commercial-scale production systems designed for biofuels. Significant cost reductions may only be possible if carbon, nutrients, and water are very low-cost, which is very demanding.

The document then outlines the GRIHA rating process and provides details on the criteria and point distribution. It aims to promote sustainable solutions for existing buildings that reduce costs and environmental impacts.
The document discusses the environmental impacts of desktop computing from cradle to grave. It outlines how manufacturing requires large amounts of fossil fuels and produces toxic chemicals. Use of computers contributes to greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation. Improper disposal of electronic waste can release toxins into the environment. The document recommends that the university develop a green purchasing policy, implement an energy conservation strategy, and run a campus awareness program to promote more sustainable computing practices.
Biomimicry involves studying nature's designs and processes to solve human problems. Examples include termite mounds inspiring building designs with natural ventilation, and gecko feet inspiring reusable adhesive tapes. Nature's solutions are often highly efficient, using minimal energy and resources and producing no waste. Biomimicry advocates studying how nature fits form to function, rewards cooperation, and avoids excess to design more sustainable human systems and innovations.
