Footprint, resource
The quantity of energy or materials required to bring a product or processes to its present state (also called “emergy” or embodied energy by H. T. Odum). Sometimes it’s only the current energy or materials used by a process.
The most popular version of this is the carbon footprint, which is only part of any total resource footprint. (See life cycle analysis.)
