Carbon
How do I install the Carbon plugin?
A procedure is available here to help you set up the plugin.
What is the functionality of the Carbon plugin?
Collect carbon intensity of electricity from various sources RTE (France) Electricity Map (most countries and regions of the whole world)
Supports constant carbon intensity for the following regions Quebec
Fallbacks to yearly world carbon intensity if no data is available for the region of an asset
Estimate consumed energy and carbon emission of assets
Show results as charts
What are the recommendations for installing carbon?
It is recommended to set up Boavitza using Docker as described in the README file of the project https://github.com/Boavizta/boaviztapi
You can also check that all the data required for the plugin to function properly has been entered in Assets > Computer > My computer > Environmental impact tab.
Why does my information seem inconsistent or doesn't appear?
In order for the plugin to work properly, certain specific recommendations are necessary. Find the list here
What is a usage profile?
The usage profile (Setup > Dropdowns > GLPI Carbon > Computer usage profiles) allows you to specify times and days when an asset will be in operation. This can vary from machine to machine, so you can specify a different profile for each asset.
Why don't monitors and network hardware have a usage profile?
Monitor: the monitor is attached to a computer and will therefore be linked to the computer's profile.
Network device: it is assumed that network hardware does not require shutdown, and is therefore switched on 24/7.
What do Embodied impact data correspond to?
In the life cycle of an asset, we can measure the environmental impact associated with its manufacture/destruction/recycling
What do the acronyms used in carbon?
gSbeq: these are grams of antimony equivalent, used to measure the depletion of abiotic resources (rare earths, ores, etc.)
MWh: megawatt-hour, It represents the total quantity of energy produced or consumed over a period of time (in this case 1 hour)
tCO₂eq : accounting for greenhouse gas emissions
