Emissions

Emissions shows the carbon footprint of your hosting and email, measured independently by ephyrIOs. Every team member can see this page.

Reading the page

1. Choose a Month. The last 18 months are available.
2. Operational emissions is the month’s total in kg CO₂e, with the methodology version used.
3. Where available, Embodied (devices) and Water use are shown separately.
4. Tracked services counts the servers, applications and mailboxes being measured.
5. The table lists each resource with its Boundary, Emissions and Last data time.

How emissions are measured

Each resource is measured at one boundary:

Boundary	What is measured	How to turn it on
Server (VM traffic)	All web traffic and running costs of a server.	Choose carbon telemetry when you provision the server, or enable the 360° agent on its page.
Application (site visitors)	Emissions caused by visitors to an edge application.	Install / refresh visitor tracking on the application page.
Email (mailbox storage)	Mailbox storage growth.	Automatic for greneIT Mail.
Not tracked	Nothing is being measured yet.	Use one of the above.

Avoid double counting

Choose one boundary per stack: either the server, or the applications on it, but not both.

When numbers are missing

• No telemetry linked yet: none of your resources are being measured. Turn on telemetry as described above.
• Live footprint data is temporarily unavailable: the measurement service can’t be reached. Your linked resources are still listed. Check again later.
