Writing the Footprint document

Introduce the concept of footprint here and explain its importance within the context of this proposal. This template might be used to describe spatial footprint such as the soil surface covered by impermeable surfaces or the floor space occupied by copier. This template can also be employed to describe usage or impact footprint such as carbon footprint or other ecological footprint. Description of Footprint Describe the footprint. This might be spatial measurement such as inches by inches or square feet or calculated sum such as the total of all carbon dioxide emissions produced by activities within time period carbon Methods for Determination of Footprint Detail the methods used to calculate the footprint. In the case of usage or impact footprints this may be quite lengthy and detailed description. Footprint Comparison Describe how this footprint compares with the average footprint of this type and discuss any ramifications of its ranking. For example you might describe how the impermeable surface covered by new house will cost the homeowner more in storm water fees and how the cost might be reduced by using gravel driveways and paths instead of concrete.
