Design Advisor allows to evaluate material selection tradeoffs in terms of mass, cost and greenhouse gas emissions savings.
Greenhouse Gas Emission - Use Phase

Module Type
E-learning
Description
We have already studied the overall results of resizing. Now we will focus on Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG). A significant Life Cycle phase is the Use phase. We saw that the Use Phase emissions come from the amount of fuel used over the life of the vehicle. We specified the Fuel Consumption for the Nominal Vehicle but we need to estimate the Fuel Consumption for the Resized Vehicle to make our comparison. Therefore, we should be able to calculate the increase or decrease in Use Phase emissions due to a change in vehicle Mass. In the following section, a mathematical model and its implementation in Design Advisor is introduced.
What you will learn
- Identify variables that affect the Use Phase GHG emissions;
- Understand impact in GHG emissions due to a change in mass or Powertrain;
- Use Design Advisor to calculate and compare the vehicles Use Phase GHG emissions.
