  • Means for incorporating sustainability metrics and total cost benefit analysis in decision-making
    Publication number: 20120004938
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for the simplification and integration of data from a diverse set of sources for environmental costs and societal benefit data. The methods allow for the computation of five basic metrics: material use, water use, energy use, toxics emitted, land use and overall pollutants emitted. Further, they facilitate the computation of complementary metrics, as well as the estimation of net present value of costs of unrealized environmental impacts.
