QSDsan is a package for the quantitative sustainable design of sanitation and resource recovery systems leveraging the structure and modules developed in BioSTEAM [1]. As an open-source and impact-driven platform, QSDsan aims to identify configuration combinations, systematically probe interdependencies across technologies, and identify key sensitivities to contextual assumptions through the use of quantitative sustainable design methods (techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment and under uncertainty).
First install the package at PyPI. If you use pip:
pip install qsdsanNote that development of this package is currently under initial stage with limited backward compatibility, please feel free to submit an issue for any questions regarding package upgrading.
