Measuring energy consumption in Azure

I'm looking for a way to calculate the SCI score for my application which is running on Azure, using the Azure API. I need information about the energy consumption and the hardware specifications, for example the CPU model and RAM. I allready took a deeper look at the Azure API reference but I couldn't find anything.

The Impact Emission Dashboard is no option here sadly.

    Hi, Tim

    You will need to pull together data from multiple sources, including the Emissions Impact Dashboard.

    Diagram of creating a sustainability model based on available proxies that scores the carbon impact of an application.

    i.e., Measure Azure app sustainability by using the SCI score

    SCI = C * R

    The components are:

    • SCI. Software Carbon Intensity result.
    • C. The carbon emissions for the application.
    • R. The scaling factor for the application.

    Each application service will be different, if this isn't suitable then you may need: Microsoft Sustainability Manager, for a more robust solution.
