Identify environmental hotspots in your building's life cycle
Make informed decisions to reduce environmental impacts
Comply with green building certifications and regulations
Enhance your building's sustainability profile
Scope Definition: Define assessment boundaries
Data Collection: Gather detailed building information
Analysis: Model environmental impacts
Interpretation: Provide comprehensive report
Optimization: Offer improvement recommendations
Certification Support: Guide through submission process
Green Footprints partnered with InfraVitaal, a Dutch company specializing in circular and energy-efficient building design, to conduct a groundbreaking study on the impact of circular design principles on building Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Our team, led by PhD researcher Haitham Abu-Ghaida, analyzed a single-family house in the Netherlands, integrating circularity assessments with comprehensive LCA. The study revealed that circular design practices could lead to a 55% reduction in CO₂ emissions at the end of a building's life and a 13% reduction during the use phase. This collaboration not only advanced InfraVitaal's understanding of their designs' environmental impact but also contributed to Green Footprints' expertise in applying LCA to innovative, circular construction models.
