Research and Innovation Greenprint
Johnson Controls teamed up with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to launch greenprint.
Greenprint is an interactive online tool that helps individuals understand and improve their ecological footprint.
The Tool
The tool is based on the Personal Sustainability Navigator online and game card activity offered to employees during Vision Week 2008. It
- educates participants about the benefits of sustainable living
- allows them to score their current level of personal sustainability
- challenges individuals to commit to taking three actions that would have a significant environmental impact with modest additional effort.
The Greenprint tool sets itself apart by helping individuals identify and prioritise practical options for improving sustainability at home, work and in their vehicles.
Upon completion, greenprint provides a score that reflects current behaviours - and another score that reflects the benefit of intended changes. Users can compare their results with other users.
Greenprint challenges individuals to commit to new energy-efficient or sustainable behaviours immediately. The data collected will be tracked to observe trends over time and to better understand how to accelerate change. Johnson Controls anticipates working with other nonprofit organisations in the promotion of greenprint to support a variety of consumer and corporate sustainability initiatives.
