| Abstract | Continued efforts to reduce the environmental impact of products and services are leading to the increased prevalence of life-cycle assessment (LCA) during the design phase. A key challenge in traditional process-based LCA is the validation of vast life-cycle inventory data, which easily numbers in the tens of thousands of data points. In this paper, we utilize an ‘object-based’ approach from software engineering to manage the large amount of data and combine this approach with simple thermodynamic principles, thus significantly reducing the chance of error in LCA inputs. The approach is demonstrated for the test case of a typical industrial air-conditioning unit. We find that implementation of the object-based approach identifies numerous potential errors in the life-cycle inventory data. Thus, the proposed approach enables the designer to perform a more robust environmental analysis of a given system. This facilitates a better identification and prioritization of opportunities for reducing the environmental footprint across the system life-cycle. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
