English abstract:
Shifting from the classical and unsatisfying definition of the ecological footprint to a more significant "footprint/utilization-ratio" forces to change the focus when planning buildings. As utilization is a major factor of a buildings ecological impact, room management can drastically influence this impact. Big potential for improving the public footprint lies within universities and school buildings, as (in many countries) these represent the largest segment of public buildings. Hence this paper describes how a simulation model - combining methods from the field of mathematical modeling and know-how from facility management and project-planning - is created with the aim to assist construction planning as well as room management of universities. With a desirable side-effect: savings in a chronically underfinanced governmental department.
