Abstract

This article introduces the concept of ecological footprint analysis for evaluating the performance of buildings in relationship to the surroundings. One of the critical aspects of sustainable architecture is the assessment of buildings at every stage of the building life, right from the design inception to construction to demolition. The green building paradigm depends on evaluation methods that are prescriptive in nature and are based on environmental criteria with attached weighted scores focusing on building performance. The ecological footprint model has been developed for a more general systems thinking of a household or any industrial process. The ecological footprint methodology developed by William E. Rees and Mathis Wackernagel, when applied to buildings or built systems gives a better understanding of the ecological context of the buildings themselves. The paper presents the evaluation of the Environmental Showcase Home as a case study example to demonstrate the ecological footprint assessment method.
