Calculate Your Building’s Carbon Footprint

The Green Footstep tool allows you to learn how much your commercial or residential building will contribute to global warming. It’s the brainchild of Architecture 2030 founder Edward Mazria and the Rocky Mountain Institute.

The tool can be used on residential and commercial new and retrofit building construction projects, from pre-design through occupancy.  It assesses a design’s total carbon footprint due to site development, construction, and operation and suggests the most effective levers to meet the Architecture 2030 Challenge.
