“…The sub-criteria related to the environmental impact belonged to the latter. Maiolo et al (2018), to select the best type of water pipes applicable in particular soil conditions, conducted a thorough LCA (cradle to gate) of 10 products offered in the market using Impact 2002+ methodology, assuming Western European conditions. Then they combined its overall measure of environmental profile with the coefficient capturing mechanical properties.…”

One of the design team's tasks is assuring that their project has a low negative impact on the environment. This comes from regulations as well as expectations of direct benefits (reduction of operating cost, the project's improved image in the eyes of the public, etc.). To fulfill this task, one needs to define criteria for assessing the design options. These are to correspond to the individual qualities of the project, and they should be significant and possible to assess. The paper, divided into two parts, presents a review of the literature concerning the criteria for the assessment of design solutions defined as "green" or "environmentally friendly". Part I presented the method of the analysis and investigates into the number and type of criteria adopted in the sample of papers being the object of analysis. This part focuses on the ways of defining criteria values, weights, and methods of multicriteria assessment.

“…In the Figure3 is evident that the greatest contribution is related to human health [34]. It is associated a high environmental cost to polymeric materials (PRFV and PVC), whereas the iron cast and gres pipes have smaller impact.…”

In urban contexts climate change and urbanization alter the correct management of outflows. The need to reduce CO2 emissions and increase the green areas presence is linked to forecast targets to facilitate the correct management of urban risks. To achieve these objectives the new technologies are available, such as green roofs, which are useful for reducing the impacts of climate change in urban areas and for the proper management of outflows, indeed, the green roofs can be connected to rainwater reuse systems. The collection and reuse water system can be studied using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. In this paper a sustainability estimate of the green roof and reuse water system is proposed in the Urban Hydrological Experimental Park at the University of Calabria (Italy).

“…Lightweight PVC pipe reduces transportation costs and affects the climate while also simplifying pipe handling on-site [35]. For a pipe with a diameter of 300 mm, PVC is 10, CI is 68, PE is 11.5 kg/m [59], and AC is 27.4 kg/m [60].…”

This study used a multi-criteria analysis to find the optimal material for water pipes in water systems. This paper used FRISCO for calculating the criteria weights and ranking the considered types of pipes. Five different types are considered using 22 criteria. The considered criteria included economic, environmental, and pipe properties. The results showed that the FRISCO method could be used for decision-making in water systems.
