Analysis of the Embodied Environmental Impact of Building Project Based on the Ecological Footprint
In order to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry, countries in the world have become devoted to the study of green building and green building evaluation standards. The ecological footprint is a method which compares the resources consumption/demand of people with that of the natural ecosystem. In this paper, based on the general model of an ecological footprint, an evaluation model was established to assess the embodied environmental impact of building projects. A two star-level building project in Hainan was designed based on the evaluation standards for green building in China. It was taken as an example and its embodied ecological footprint was calculated. The results show that the ecological footprint of materials is the biggest, accounting for over 95% of all.
