Arpad Horvath

Arpad Horvath is the Edward G. Cahill and John R. Cahill Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, in the Department of Civil Engineering. His research focuses on life cycle assessment (LCA), infrastructure systems, construction materials, sustainability, green design, and environmental management. He is also the Head of the Energy, Civil Infrastructure and Climate Graduate Program, Director of the Transportation Sustainability Research Center, and Director of the Engineering and Business for Sustainability Certificate Program. Horvath is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Construction, and a Distinguished Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers. His work includes studies on the environmental implications of buildings, transportation systems, water and wastewater systems, and construction materials.

Arpad Horvath, affiliated with the University of California, Berkeley, focuses on life-cycle assessment (LCA), sustainable construction, and infrastructure. His research explores environmental impacts of construction materials, particularly cement and concrete, with an emphasis on decarbonization strategies and water footprint assessment. Horvath's work addresses the sustainability of building materials, including self-consolidating concrete, and evaluates the environmental effects of transportation and water supply systems. His studies also examine the life-cycle environmental impacts of office buildings, pavements, and sewage sludge treatment. Horvath's research highlights the importance of integrating supply chain and infrastructure impacts into environmental assessments.
