Construction ecology is based on measuring each component of the building structure and enclosure, determining the volume of material in the building, and based on the density of that material, deriving the mass of each material in the systems. This reveals the relationships between the mass, the massing, and the masses: an indicator of the ecological efficacy of the architecture.
