Benefits Toolkit
The Landscape Performance Series Benefits Toolkit is a searchable collection of online tools and calculators to estimate landscape performance.
The tools can be used to estimate specific landscape benefits for completed projects when actual measurements are not available, or they can be used in the design phase to compare projected benefits among various options. Many tools also allow the user to compare life-cycle costs for conventional and sustainable design features.

Carbon storage & sequestrationConstruction Carbon Calculator
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, Mithun
2007This tool estimates the net embodied carbon of a project’s structures and site. The measurements account for building materials, processes and carbon released due to ecosystem degradation or sequestered through landscape installation or restoration. Landscape inputs are ecoregion, area and type of existing vegetation, area disturbed, and area and type of vegetation installed. (Vegetation type categories are very broad and primarily refer to mature natural landscapes.) Building inputs are size, number of stories, and primary structural system material. The calculator yields the net embodied CO2 for the entire project.
