Abstract

The paper aims to generalize and adapt to the field of architectural science research cycles dedicated to the issue of cities and surrounding regions that have exceeded “Beyond Growth”. Architecture is one of the significant consumers of resources and a producer of pollution. In the current ecological situation, we are forced to form a new vision of the architecture's future development. One of the powerful tools for such a vision is “Green Standards”. The authors propose a new approach to calculating credits in the national rating system of Ukraine, based on the “Ecological Footprint Coefficient of Architecture”. Such a change in crediting allows us to determine the «Ecological Deficit» and, through it, the level of negative-positive impact of architectural objects on the environment.
