Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive discussion of the synergies of technology hubs between urban agriculture and low impact development to examine a green building retrofit plan through a system dynamics model (SDM). The case study leads to a demonstration of a symbiosis embedded in a building-scale food–energy–water (FEW) nexus. Three scenarios are compared in terms of their carbon footprint, water footprint, and ecological footprint. SDM can fully support the assessment of scenarios proposed in a FEW nexus via carbon, water, and ecological footprints. Urban agriculture can improve not only the food security but also save carbon footprint if the long-distance food distribution is required in a metropolitan region.
