Brief Overview

Who it’s for

This tool is for users who want fast, early-stage feedback on how well a building design meets green coverage goals.

What it does

This design assistant calculates the total green area contributed by ground-level landscaping, green spaces on intermediate floors, vertical greenery, and rooftop garden — each with a weighting factor of 1, except vertical greenery (weighted at 0.5 to reflect its lower ecological and usability value). It helps users assess whether a building meets landscape replacement policies (like Singapore’s LUSH guidelines) or project-specific green space targets set by owners or designers. The tool works with both simple and complex building forms and supports inputs in m² or ft², as long as units are consistent.

Key outputs

  • Total green area (m²/ ft²)
  • Landscape Replacement Area (%)
  • Fulfilment of Target (True/False)
  • Component breakdown of Green Areas (ground, intermediate floors, vertical, roof; m²/ ft²)
