SURAP Footprints
The SURAP Footprints method is a database developed by SURAP for assessing the climate impact and resource consumption of buildings. The straightforward set of indicators facilitates the assessment and communication of climate impact and resource efficiency. The data contained is compiled by SURAP using the ecoinvent background database.
Environmental impact indicators
| Abbreviation | Indicator | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| GWP total | Global Warming Potential, total | kg CO2-eq. |
| PENRT | Total use of non-renewable primary energy resources | MJ |
| RMI | Raw Material Input | kg Raw materials |
| TMR | Total Material Requirement | kg primary material |
| WDP | Water Depletion Potential | m³ world eq. |
Life cycle phases
The following life cycle phases and modules are available in the SURAP Footprints database: Production A1-A3, transportation to construction site A4, replacement/replacement B4, energy B6, disposal (C3, C4), recycling (material D1, energy D2).
