Part A1 Footprinting Exercise – Water OR Energy
An ecological footprint is the measure of human demand on the earth’s ecosystem.
All of us have an individual footprint that contributes to the global footprint.
Is there something individuals and institutions can do within their capacity to address this?
A good beginning will be to measure your own or institutions ecological footprint and make an incremental contribution to reducing the footprint.
You will need to register and then login to the website to complete the campus footprinting tool.

- This exercise aims to help the institution develop a greater understanding of its campus ecological footprint forenergyOR water
- It will increase the understanding of consumption patterns, identify potential areas for improvement and choices
- This data will provide tangible numbers for the institution to benchmark its sustainability parameters with averages at similar campuses
- The submission is to be done online. A copy can be downloaded after submission
- The online calculator focuses on footprint study of two key ecological elements, namely energy and water
- The online form has few cells which provide derived values – like emissions, energy and emissions intensity, rainfall harvesting potential and endowment values. These can also be used for the analysis write-up (A2)
