Abstract

The Doughnut Biotool is a tool to calculate a building project's impacts on biodiversity over the entire life cycle. The tool was developed as part of the "Doughnut for Urban Development" project and manual. For more information, as well as a video tour of the spreadsheet tools, visit https://www.home.earth/doughnut
The tool calculates the project's impacts on ecosystems as a local loss of species. It takes into account impacts caused by the transformation and occupation of land on the building site (direct impacts), as well as the use of construction materials (indirect impacts).
