An indicator is In EMAP, characteristics of the environment both abiotic and biotic, that can provide quantitative information on ecological resources.
Indicator Compounds are chemical compounds, such as carbon dioxide, whose presence at certain concentrations may be used to estimate certain building conditions (e.g., airflow, presence of sources).
An indicator development is the process through which an indicator is identified, tested, and implemented.
Indicators are Measurements that track over time the state of air, water, and land resources, pressures on those resources, and resulting effects on ecological condition and human health.
