Encore: Passive Onsite vs. Centralized Wastewater Treatment Systems, A Comparison of O&M Energy Use and Carbon Generation
With rapid population growth worldwide, green building and development is becoming increasingly important. The economic and environmental benefits provided through the operation and maintenance (O&M) of centralized WWTPs and passive onsite wastewater treatment systems were quantitatively examined through an analysis of the unit cost, embodied carbon, and embodied energy of wastewater treatment.
