| Lernziel | Familiarize the students with issues of transport policy making and the conflicts arising. Train the ability to read critically and to summarize his/her understanding for him/herself and others through a review paper, paper abstracts and a paper review. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 102-0338-01L | Waste Management and Circular Economy | W | 3 KP | 2G | M. Haupt, R. Warthmann, M. Wiprächtiger | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | Understanding the fundamental concepts of advanced waste management and circular economy and, in more detail, on biological processes for waste treatment. Application of concepts on various waste streams, including household and industrial waste streams. Insights into environmental aspects of different waste treatment technologies and waste economy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The purpose of this course is to study the fundamental concepts of waste management in Switzerland and globally and learn about new concepts such as Circular Economy. In-depth knowledge on biological processes for waste treatments should be acquired and applied in case studies. Based on this course, you should be able to understand national waste management strategies and related treatment technologies. Treatment plants and valorization concepts for biomass and organic waste should be understood. Furthermore, future designs of waste treatment processes can be evaluated using basic process understanding and knowledge obtained from the current literature. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | National waste management Waste as a resource Circular Economy Assessment tools for waste management strategies Plastic recycling Organic Wastes in Switzerland Anaerobic Digestion & Biogas Composting process technologies Organic Waste Hygiene Product Quality & Use Waste Economy and environmental aspects | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Handouts Exercises based on literature | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | There will be complementary exercises going along with some of the lectures, which focus on real life aspects of waste management. Some of the exercises will be solved during lessons whereas others will have to be dealt with as homework. To pass the course and to achieve credits it is required to pass the examination successfully (Mark 4 or higher). The written examination covers all topics of the course and is based on handouts and on selected literature | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 101-0588-01L | Re-/Source the Built Environment | W | 3 KP | 2S | G. Habert, M. Posani, E. Zea Escamilla | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course focuses on material choice and energy strategies to limit the environmental impact of construction sector. During the course, specific topics will be presented (construction technologies, environmental policies, social consequences of material use, etc.). The course aims to present sustainable options to tackle the global challenge we are facing and show that "it is not too late". | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | After the lecture series, the students are aware of the main challenges for the production and use of building materials. They know the different technologies/propositions available, and environmental consequence of a choice. They understand in which conditions/context one resource/technology will be more appropriate than another | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | A general presentation of the global context allows to identify the objectives that as engineer, material scientist or architect needs to achieve to create a sustainable built environment. The course is then conducted as a serie of guest lectures focusing on one specific aspect to tackle this global challenge and show that "it is not too late". The lecture series is divided as follows: - General presentation - Notion of resource depletion, resilience, criticality, decoupling, etc. - Guest lectures covering different resources and proposing different option to build or maintain a sustainable built environment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | For each lecture slides will be provided. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The lecture series will be conducted in English and is aimed at students of master's programs, particularly the departments ARCH, BAUG, ITET, MAVT, MTEC and USYS. No lecture will be given during Seminar week. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
