THE ASSIGNMENT > FROM THE FOLLOWING PROJECT PAGES, CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOUR AS APPROPRIATE TO YOUR DESIGN PROJECT. Page 2 1. LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE OF BUILDING STRUCTURE Project CVEN01: Progressive Collapse Imagine you have been given a contract by UNSW to construct a real-size building based on the design that you have developed in ENGG1000. UNSW has requested you conduct a life-cycle assessment (LCA) of the building to ensure sustainable and economically efficient use of materials. Your specifications are: • The building is to be 5 storeys tall and have a square footprint of 200m x 200m. • Minimise environmental impacts of the building's life cycle. • You are free to choose the building materials as long as structural integrity is guaranteed. Your report should contain the following sections: • Goals and scope. • Inventory analysis. o Materials used, o Main environmental impacts, and o Waste and recycling opportunities. • Impact assessment. o Describe upstream and downstream effects of all elements of the process. • Interpretation/improvement assessment. o As you progress with the assignment where appropriate, record and discuss potential improvements for both environmental and economic savings. You are expected to demonstrate some understanding of the likely environmental, social and economic circumstances, and relate these back to core sustainability principles (especially the Principles of Sustainable Engineering from Engineers Australia). Other considerations: • The phrase, "Cradle to Grave" is often used. For this assignment also consider the concept of "Cradle to Cradle" LCA. • Identify and describe any practical problems you encounter throughout the project. Useful References: Finnveden, G.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF HIGH-RISE BUILDING Project CVEN02: Seismic Response Company AllHigh is proposing to build a new skyscraper in Sydney's Darling Harbour. Since this is a major development you are being tasked to produce a brief environmental impact report (similar to an EIS but substantially abbreviated) with sections that reflect an understanding of the key EIA processes: • Site description and project background. • Screening (determines if and why an EIA is necessary). • Analysis of likely impacts (judging their likely significance by assessing their magnitude and importance). • Public consultation (engaging the community and relevant stakeholders). • Assessment (making judgements about the needs, risks and alternatives). You are expected to demonstrate some understanding of the likely environmental, social and economic circumstances, and relate these back to core sustainability principles (refer to the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 , Schedule 2 Environmental impact statements, Part 3 General provisions, 7 Content of environmental impact statement ). Other considerations: • Identify and describe any practical problems you encounter throughout the project.

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF WAVE GENERATOR PROJECT Project CVEN03: Wave Energy from the Oceans One of the options available in the renewable energy field is that of using the oceans as a source of energy for the generation of electricity. Prior to commencing a project to conceive, design, build and commission a wave generator, you are asked to create a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). For this assignment you will undertake and create an LCA for a wave generator. Your report should contain the following sections: • Goals and scope. • Inventory analysis. o Materials used, o Main environmental impacts, and o Waste and recycling opportunities. • Impact assessment. o Describe upstream and downstream effects of all elements of the process. • Interpretation/improvement assessment. o As you progress with the assignment where appropriate, record and discuss potential improvements for both environmental and economic savings. You are expected to demonstrate some understanding of the likely environmental, social and economic circumstances, and relate these back to core sustainability principles (especially the Principles of Sustainable Engineering from Engineers Australia). Other considerations: • The phrase, "Cradle to Grave" is often used. For this assignment also consider the concept of "Cradle to Cradle" LCA. • Identify and describe any practical problems you encounter throughout the project. Useful References: Finnveden, G.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR CONVENTION CENTRE AT UNSW Project CVEN04: DIY Aerial Mapping Following your preliminary survey and land development options assessment, an extension of the Barker Street Apartments is proposed for the UNSW campus site. Based on NSW EIA Guidelines you are to produce a brief environmental impact assessment Screening Report to determine if a full EIS is required and if so what issues and impacts will need to be addressed within the EIS. The Screening Report is expected to include sections that reflect an understanding of the key EIA processes: • Site description and project background. • Screening (determines if and why an EIA is necessary). • Analysis of likely impacts (judging their likely significance by assessing their magnitude and importance). • Public consultation (engaging the community and relevant stakeholders). • Assessment (making judgements about the needs, risks and alternatives). You are expected to demonstrate some understanding of the likely environmental, social and economic circumstances, and relate these back to core sustainability principles (refer to the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 , Schedule 2 Environmental impact statements, Part 3 General provisions, 7 Content of environmental impact statement ).
