The summary shows the estimation for the offer selected.

The AZ footprint estimation is is a straightforward calculation of CO₂ emissions per kW of electricity consumed, based on the energy mix and the data center’s Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) specific to that AZ. For example, in an AZ like PAR-2, each kW consumed may have an impact of 0.065 kgCO₂e. <br /><br />

Meanwhile, the offer footprint estimation is a more complex calculation that combines the AZ-specific data with additional factors relevant to the specific offer. This calculation considers not just energy consumption but also other elements, which are outlined in the [Environmental Footprint calculation breakdown](/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/additional-content/environmental-footprint-calculator) documentation page, to reflect a comprehensive impact specific to the offer rather than just adding up kW-based impacts.
The final calculation of the environmental impact considers several critical factors to provide a thorough and accurate assessment. This includes considering the manufacturing processes for datacenters and related technical components, network machines, and servers directly used by customers. Additionally, the assessment accounts for servers dedicated to IT tools and those maintained in stock.

The usage phase also includes every datacenter [Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)](/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/concepts/#pue-power-usage-effectiveness), which is multiplied by the impact related to electricity consumption of network servers, customer-used servers, and servers used for transversal IT tools. This approach ensures that both the direct and indirect energy consumption associated with datacenter operations is accurately represented.

Furthermore, the calculation will integrate the environmental impact of all elements necessary for the proper functioning of the enterprise. This includes the office premises, employee transportation, and other logistical aspects.
To calculate the impact of the datacenter and the technical environment, it is necessary to have either a preliminary study carried out by the hardware suppliers and datacenter administrators or a quote including all the components. Without such a study, we have chosen to use [ADEME data](https://data.ademe.fr/) to evaluate the impact of the construction of the datacenter and technical environment (air conditioning and power supply system).

To allocate the environmental impact of the manufacturing of the datacenter and the technical environment we multiply the proportion of the datacenter lifespan that corresponds to the device's usage time by the specific equipment's power usage relative to the total power reserved by customers in the datacenter by the datacenter emission factor.
For the use of an Elastic Metal server with a power of 110w for 100 hours in a 2000m2 datacenter which has a power of 3000 kw (3e+6w) and a lifespan of 25 years (219 000 hours) and considering via ADEME estimates that the impact of the manufacturing of this datacenter and its technical environment is 3.3e+6 kgCo2e, we make the following calculation:

Some of the principals who performed the actions might appear as `Unknown` in the logs. This could be due to a couple of reasons: <br />
28
-
- The principal used to be a part of the Organization, but since performing the action is no longer a part of it. For example, if a user or an application is removed from an Organization, their name will no longer appear in the list, but the user or application ID still indicates it was them who performed the action.

Besides `unknown`, you might also see principals named `Scaleway`. This happens when an action is performed by Scaleway. For example, whenever a new Organization is created 3 groups are created by default. This action is technically performed by Scaleway, and will be described as such in the logs.<br /><br />

When a user accepts an invitation to an Organization, Scaleway will add this user to the Organization, so this action appears as having been performed by `Scaleway`.

For both the carbon emissions, and the water consumption, the power consumption of your active resources is used in the calculation. The way you use your resources has a direct impact on power consumption. Therefore, results may vary greatly from one month to another.
53
+
54
+
For example, if you start your Elastic Metal server on the 15th of the month and leave it running until the end of the month, the data will be calculated for the 15 days of use, not for the whole month. If you leave the server on, non-stop, in the following month, the impact data will be calculated for a full month.

Currently, we rely on estimates based on internal tests in which the Elastic Metal servers were tested in different configurations.
