Environmental Economics: Evaluating the Impact of Sustainable Practices

The challenge for organizations today is defining a sustainable vision; setting measurable economic and program goals; and designing and implementing strategies that will improve operations and productivity. Learn to capture long-term costs and benefits of sustainable practices through Lifecycle Cost Analysis (LCA). Explore the strategies in economic analyses, incorporating facilities maintenance, equipment depreciation, and daily operating activities. Discuss how to promote and evaluate increased productivity and new human behaviors that enhance sustainability—with an emphasis on the relative values, choices, perceptions, and concerns that impact conservation and work/life habits.
