This algorithm calculates the environmental footprints (CO2, water and surface) from energy measurements and network exchanges.

Release Note 0.8.1

Improvement

Distinguish input data between zero and nil
Check if referenceDischarge is greater than 0

Release Note 0.8.0

New features

A second video server may be added when calling route /multipleFootprint

Release Note 0.7.0

Improve the network request by retrieving the lan impact
Ask for WattHour instead of Watt
Display breakdown in gCO2/litres/cm²

Release Note 0.6.6

Improvement

/multipleFootprint route returns now json instead of a csv file to easier the data parsing for the tool ‘Environmental footprint assessment CLI’

Release Note 0.6.5

Improvement

The algorithm takes into account a breakdown between usage and fabrication when calculating ‘Client’ and ‘Network’ footprints

Fixed bugs

Fix the read of config file when calling the route /customImpact and /footprints/global

Release Note 0.6.4

Fixed bugs

Fixed /multipleFootprints route by passing entry data in json format instead of csv file path

Release note 0.6.3

Improvement

Algorithm can now calculate impact for another type of mains powered devices like TV, STB (set-top box), STB Light and Console

Release note 0.6.2

Improvement

Add new routes to calculate the impacts of a domain individually

/footprints/client/battery : calculate impact for devices which use battery like smartphone, tablet, laptop
/footprints/client/clientusagetime : calculate impact for mains powered devices like TV
/footprints/network : calculate impact for network (optical fiber, adsl, 2g, 3g, 4g, 5g)
/footprints/server/bandwidth : calculate impact for video server
/footprints/server/request : calculate impact for normal server

The route /footprints/network can be used to calculate the network Impact based on a new model. The route /footprints/networkOld used the old model
