==Method and System to Measure and Report Scope-2 Indirect Emissions Caused by Equipment Operating in a Datacenter - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240127260 titled 'Method and System to Measure and Report Scope-2 Indirect Emissions Caused by Equipment Operating in a Datacenter

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods and a system for reading and reporting energy consumption data of managed hardware, such as devices in a data center, and scope 2 GHG emissions attributable to the use of the devices. Emission factors associated with energy sources providing energy to the data center and devices are captured. The energy consumption of the devices is read, converted to GHG emissions, and reported.

* Energy consumption data of managed hardware is read.
* Emission factors associated with energy sources supplying the data center and devices are captured.
* The consumed energy of the devices is converted to GHG emissions.
* GHG emissions are reported based on the energy consumption data.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in data centers, industrial facilities, and other settings where monitoring energy consumption and GHG emissions is crucial.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Lack of accurate tracking of energy consumption and GHG emissions from managed hardware.
2. Inefficient reporting systems for environmental impact assessments.

== Benefits ==
1. Improved monitoring and reporting of energy consumption and GHG emissions.
2. Enhanced sustainability practices and environmental impact assessments.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions Monitoring System for Data Centers"

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art may include existing systems for monitoring energy consumption in data centers and industrial facilities.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the system ensure data accuracy and reliability? ===
The system may utilize calibration processes and data validation techniques to ensure accuracy and reliability of the collected information.

=== What are the potential cost implications for implementing this technology? ===
The cost implications may vary depending on the scale of deployment and the complexity of the monitoring system. Organizations would need to consider the initial investment in hardware and software, as well as ongoing maintenance and operational costs.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

described herein are methods and a system for reading and reporting of energy consumption data of managed hardware, such as devices in a data center, and scope 2 ghg emissions attributable to the use of the devices. emission factors are captured which are associated with energy sources that provide energy to the data center and the devices. energy consumption of the devices are read. the consumed energy of the devices is converted to ghg emissions and reported.
