Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) released a new tool late last year to help designers and builders reduce carbon emissions. The free online carbon calculator, named "Green Footstep," is unique because it accounts for multiple building emissions over a building's lifetime. "Green Footstep makes it easier for design professionals to set the design targets they'll need to achieve a carbon neutrality that includes not just operation, but also embodied carbon and others," explained Victor Olgyay, AIA, principal at RMI. "Just as a life cycle cost analysis of a green building design shows the operating costs you are saving over time, Green Footstep shows you the saved carbon."
