Abstract

A communication module includes one or more processors, and a computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the communication module to perform functions. The functions include receiving, from a power supply, first data indicating an amount of energy provided to a load by the power supply. The functions also include determining a carbon footprint based on the amount of the energy and an emission factor, and sending second data representing the carbon footprint to the power supply or a computing device.
