She has served on the US Green Building Council’s Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) into Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) working group, DuPont’s biobased advisory group, the American Institute of Chemical Engineering’s (AICHE’s) Sustainability Metrics Working Group, the National Institute of Science and Technology’s (NIST’s) biobased advisory group, and numerous SETAC North America and SETAC Europe Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) working groups. She has organized and chaired three international special topic workshops on LCIA and was active in ISO 14042 (Life Cycle Impact Assessment) development. She is the developer of the US EPA’s Tool for the Reduction and Assessment of Chemical and other environmental Impacts (TRACI) which has been distributed to over 24,000 users. TRACI has been selected and/or used by: the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s BEES (Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability), the US Green Building Council's LEED, the U.S. Marine Corps’ EKAT (Environmental Knowledge and Assessment Tool), and Pre Consultants’ SimaPro (software for LCA). Her TRACI research was recognized in April 2006 with the individual Gold Medal for Exceptional Service – the EPA's highest scientific award. | | Areas of interest: | | sustainable development | | life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) | | life cycle assessment (LCA) | | sustainability indicators | | |
