Description of the research topic:
he objective of the research is to develop specific procedures for construction companies, linked to BBS's previous SME ecological footprint calculation. The research will develop a concrete application of the ecological footprint indicator in construction companies. We estimate the impact per square meter of construction activity, new construction, or renovation. This value can be compared with energy savings due to the sue of more modern construction technologies. In other words, we can convert the impact of different factors into a common unit of measurement. We are looking for answers to urban development questions such as the environmental impact of urban sprawl. As a result of the research, we can make economic policy recommendations to the government to determine the most environmentally effective construction policy. The methodology can be extended to any sector. This is subject to the continuous involvement of corporate partners and industry-specific experts. This is currently the case for the development of the construction sector.
The ecological footprint is one of the best-known alternative indicators, and many researchers are working on its development. BBS will become a member of the Global Footprint Network in 2022, integrating its research into an international organisation. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the topic, it offers good publication opportunities in international journals.
The specific corporate methodology is developed by BBS, no international comparison is possible at the moment, but the methodology can be applied in any country and is linked to research on corporate sustainability.
