Analysis Modules

Easy, cost-efficient analysis breaks down traditional data silos to deliver a more complete assessment of land use and policy impacts. Distill vast, complex datasets into clear, scenario-based mapping and reporting.

Emissions

Calculate carbon and pollutant emissions associated with energy use, water use, and transportation.

Risk & Resilience

Map and measure projected impacts of sea level rise, flood inundation, and fire hazard.

Land Consumption

Measure impacts on natural lands and land consumed by urbanization, including details like greenfield versus infill and redevelopment.

Energy Use

Estimate electricity and natural gas use for residential and commercial buildings based on building type and climate zone.

Water Use

Analyze current and future indoor and outdoor water consumption for both residential and commercial buildings.

Transit Accessibility

Map and measure public transit access to employment, parks, schools, hospitals, and more.

Transportation

Assess and map vehicle miles traveled, fuel use, and emissions for current and future scenarios.

Walk Accessibility

Measure and map walk access to transit stops, parks and schools, services, and other key amenities.

Household Costs

Analyze annual household expenses associated with energy, water, and transportation use.

Conservation

Assess impacts on water quality, habitat, agriculture, and carbon sequestration.

Analysis Modules

In-App Analysis

Analyze current and future conditions with the click of a button.

UrbanFootprint Analysis Modules and advanced scenario planning capabilities deliver actionable insights to address complex questions: How will land use choices impact emissions and climate action plan goals? How might different plans impact household costs and vehicle-miles traveled? Get the tools you need quantify impacts and benefits for unlimited scenarios.

Edit your analysis assumptions to understand planning policy impacts

Fully Customizable

Localize reporting with customized Analytics Modules.

Frequently asked questions

How do the Analysis Modules work?

UrbanFootprint’s Analysis Modules build on over 30 years of expertise in urban planning and are engineered by our team of data scientists. Ready to dive into the details of each module? View our methodology guides to learn more.

Can you provide some examples of what the Analysis Modules measure?

The Analysis Modules provide insights on a host of key planning, conservation, and mobility metrics, from energy and water use, to walk access to schools and transit, to sea rise and habitat impact. For example, if you’re a city planner working on a comprehensive plan or climate action plan, the Emissions Module will provide guidance as to how current and future land use changes may impact greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions. In that same climate action plan, you may want to test various scenarios for impacts on vehicle miles traveled or water use. View our methodology guides to learn more about outputs for each of our Analysis Modules.
