Project goal

The objective was to survey and assess diffuse metal emissions and develop a pollutant management based on ecologically sustainable development. By means of the methodology of Material Flow Analysis, the employment of building materials containing zinc, copper, lead and aluminium and diffuse emissions of the most important applications have been accounted in a representative housing settlement. The most important application areas are building coverings, sanitary installations, outside facilities (e.g. fences) and supply networks.

Material-, Stoff- und Energiebilanzen

Stoffhaushalt.jpg

Umweltschutz kann nicht auf eingegrenzte Bereiche beschränkt werden, sondern er muss umfassend und differenziert erfolgen. Die Methode der Stoffflussanalyse erlaubt eine differenzierte, quantitative Erfassung, Bewertung und Interpretation von Stoffhaushaltssystemen. Dabei wird neben einzelnen Gütern auch die Ebene von chemischen Elementen und deren Verbindungen (Stoffe) betrachtet.

Energie- und Ressourcenmanagement

in
RMA Stadtentwicklung

Unter nachhaltigem Ressourcenmanagement versteht man einen gezielt geführten Ablauf von Aktivitäten, der den nachhaltigen Schutz natürlicher Ressourcen (Boden, Wasser, Luft, Tier- und Pflanzenwelt, Landschaftsgestalt, etc.) und den effizienten Einsatz von aus der Natur entnommenen Ressourcen anstrebt. Das Ziel eines nachhaltigen Ressourcenmanagements ist die Verbesserung der Lebensqualität innerhalb der Tragfähigkeitsgrenzen der Ökosysteme.

Ökologischer Fußabdruck

Footprint.jpg

Der ökologische Fußabdruck ist ein Indikator für die Umweltperformance einer Region, einer Stadt oder eines Produktes. Er gibt an, welcher Flächenverbrauch für unser handeln notwendig ist. In der Berechnung werden die Flächen zur Produktion von Energieträgern, Nahrung und anderen Gütern, sowie auch Flächen zur Deponierung von Abfällen und zum Abbau von Emissionen (z.B. Wälder, um das CO2 zu binden) berücksichtigt.
