Biodiversity
How do we measure a building's impact on biodiversity?
Carbon is necessary but insufficient. REGEN develops methods that trace site-specific biodiversity loss through construction supply chains and that quantify ecosystem services a project can provide. The aim is to make biodiversity impacts as decision-relevant as carbon already is.
Key points
- Site-specific biodiversity impact attribution along the supply chain.
- Ecosystem service provision as a positive design metric.
- Integration with LCA and emerging EU restoration / Net Gain regulation.
