The Footprint Company

Helping you lead in delivering low carbon design solutions.

It started small…

It started with a question… how much carbon is embodied in a building? We researched, it turns out that there is a whole lot more than you would imagine. We invested in researching low cost design solutions at a time before standards and had the support of two of the most progressive listed companies on the planet.

Our insatiable curiosity and desire to make buildings better led us to create a simple on-line solution and a company -that enables you to leverage your design dreams simply and for the better.

Today…

Our calculators, rates, research and support is touching hundreds of projects and designers each year. Our vision of creating a lasting ripple effect is in motion.

Our sweet spot is supporting property leaders and game changers to deliver world-class outcomes for all stakeholders.

Allow us to help you make a difference.

Designers

Allow us to support you to test the environmental impact of various design approaches or identify “hot-spots” in the proposed design. Engage with our design life cycle benchmarks to evaluate the sustainability of your approach quickly and efficiently. Understand which materials provide you with the lowest carbon footprint or quantify the environmental value of re-use / heritage retention or recycling.

Planners

Allow us to support you to evaluate life cycle carbon implications at the precinct, masterplan or regional level. Our precinct tool and benchmarks provides simple and efficient evaluation of built-form, energy, land, transport, consumption and operational footprint and the ability for rapid scenario generation to test the impact of design and planning controls.

Engineers

Allow us to support you to test the environmental impact of various design approaches or identify “hot-spots” in the proposed design. Engage with our design life cycle benchmarks by building element. Understand which materials provide you with the lowest carbon footprint or develop life cycle carbon paybacks for major systems approaches (e.g. mechanical systems and facade design etc).

Educators

Our life cycle assessment platform is designed to support students to complete self-guided learning in a secure on-line cloud space. Available 24/7 with no download requirements, students can engage in formal on-line guided life cycle assessment learning (video & sharepoint) and then utilise the tools to complete assignments in an individual or group setting. Suitable for design, construction, planning, project management, environmental engineering and quantity surveying courses.

Net Zero Carbon Design – Just Got Easier

October 19, 2017 “Net Zero Carbon” buildings including embodied carbon now rewarded for Innovation. Over 50% of embodied carbon gets “locked away” within the first few weeks of design.     Visually representing the embodied impact of materials in a scale gives designers a critical edge when targeting net zero environmental goals and can minimize or eliminate the need to commit building owners to purchasing ongoing costly “offsets”.  … Read More
