A procedure is [available here](/doc-plugins/plugins-glpi/carbon.md) 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 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](/doc-plugins/plugins-glpi/carbon.md#recommmendations) *** ### 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 --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.glpi-project.org/faq/plugins/carbon.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
