About:
Definition:
ABIOTIC
Physical rather than biological, i.e. not derived from living organisms.
(EESC ’11)
ABIOTIC COMPONENTS
The non-living components of the biosphere.
Chemical and geological factors, such as rocks and minerals, and physical factors, such as temperature and weather, are referred to as abiotic components.
(GreenSpec AEP ’09)
ABIOTIC DEPLETION (AD)
Refers to the exhaustion of natural (non-living) resources such as iron ore, copper and fossil fuels.
(GreenSpec AEP ’09)
ABIOTIC RESOURCE DEPLETION POTENTIAL (ADP)
(ERFMI ’08)
Relevance to Sustainable Construction:
- Resource Depletion
- Resource Efficiency Action Plans (REAP)
- Resource Management
