This article gives design considerations to keep in mind when you design Emissions Impact Dashboard to monitor carbon emissions for Azure and Microsoft 365.
Emissions Impact Dashboard for Azure
- Cloud solution providers (CSPs) are supported. If you buy Azure from a CSP, work directly with your CSP partner to learn about your cloud emissions. Legacy accounts aren't supported.
- Emissions Impact Dashboard for Azure supports EA Direct, MCA, and MPA accounts with direct billing relationships with Microsoft.
- Check the considerations and limitations for Power BI in the product article.
- The consumption data combines with Microsoft energy and carbon tracking data to estimate the emissions from your use of Azure services. This estimate is based on the data centers that provide those services.
- The estimates include all Azure services in all Azure regions linked to the tenant ID you provide during setup.
- Emissions Impact Dashboard for Azure doesn’t get any information about your on-premises data centers except what you provide. It relies on industry research and your input about the efficiency and energy mix of on-premises alternatives to estimate on-premises emissions.
- Using Azure resources and costs efficiently reduces your environmental impact. Microsoft Cost Management gives you tools to plan, analyze, and reduce your spending so you get the most from your cloud investment.
Emissions Impact Dashboard for Microsoft 365
- Emissions Impact Dashboard for Microsoft 365 isn't currently supported for national or regional cloud deployments. These deployments include, but aren't limited to, Microsoft US Government clouds and Office 365 operated by 21Vianet.
- Emissions Impact Dashboard for Microsoft 365 reports data center emissions and active usage associated with Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
- Emissions data for a given month is available by the 14th day after the end of that month, including nonbusiness days.
- Information on Microsoft 365 usage is available in the report from June 2022 onward. For more usage history, see the usage report in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- Microsoft 365 emissions are allocated based on data storage, active usage, and compute associated with Microsoft 365 applications. Emissions allocated based on compute can occur in regions outside your Microsoft 365 data location.
- Data used to produce the Emissions Impact Dashboard for Microsoft 365 is stored in the US.
- Emissions Impact Dashboard for Microsoft 365 doesn't get any information specifically about your on-premises data centers, except what you provide.
