The presentation is intended for educational purposes only. Goal was to look at tealight candles made with Paraffin wax (majority of the wax available in the market today) & Soy wax in terms of its life cycle from cradle to grave. The analysis is purely based on internet & data available on software Quantis suit & analysis was performed on Quantis as well.]]>

Cities today are constantly under pressure to accommodate a growing urban population and their increasing demand for various resources, such as energy, water, waste management, transportation, and food. Some of these resources are basic living requirements, and the most important of those being food. According to the current practices, food demand is mostly met by food grown on farmland away from the cities. This creates a bigger carbon footprint due to transportation, farming energy usage as well as environmental damage through agricultural contaminants, etc. Additionally, traditional farming often encounters climate extremes and disasters making it more difficult for farmers to survive. Hence there is a need to explore alternative techniques which can address issues concerned with traditional farming practices, one of such techniques is vertical farming. It is essentially a combination of variety of technologies, placed in an urban setting to help reduce most of the issues related to urban food demands and be environmentally less damaging at the same time.]]>

It is no longer an isolated effort by each sector; but rather a culmination of several disciplines coming together to build a better future for our planet. I believe, with my cross-sectoral experience coupled with a strong desire towards urban sustainability, makes me valuable in the field. Given my cumulative experience of over 8 years’ in design management and sustainability field, I have repeatedly performed activities that are most essential in sustainable development field, such as: ♦ Sustainability assessment and bench marking ♦ Analytical research ♦ Participatory design activities ♦ Independent and proactive work strategy ♦ Sim... www.prattpspd.org/fall-2014-fellowships/ https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/finalpresentation-150312113241-conversion-gate01-thumbnail.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds slideshow/life-cycle-analysis-comparative-study/45761725 Life Cycle Analysis - ... https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/finalpresentation-150312112818-conversion-gate01-thumbnail.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds slideshow/vertical-farms/45761521 Vertical Farms
