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 resources that still have live telemetry (not retired rows).
5. The table lists each resource with its Boundary, Emissions and Last data time.

Historical data after you remove something

When you delete an application, remove a server from your account, or delete a mailbox, greneIT stops new measurement and retires the link to ephyrIOs. The underlying footprint for past months stays in ephyrIOs; greneIT keeps a historical record so you can still open earlier months on this page.

What you see	Meaning
A row marked retired (boundary Retired (historical only))	The resource is gone from your account, but its emissions for the month you selected are still included in the total when ephyrIOs has data for that period.
The same name or address you used before removal	Shown from the label saved at retirement if the app, server or mailbox no longer exists in the portal.
Not tracked on a live resource	Nothing is being measured yet — turn on telemetry as below.

Past months vs live telemetry

Retiring a service does not erase earlier months. Pick the month in the drop-down to review that period. Live telemetry and the website carbon badge only apply to active resources, not retired ones.

For a full monthly PDF that includes traffic and emissions together, see Monthly reports. Closed months are stored as final reports; the current month updates until the calendar month ends.

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.
• Zero for a retired row in an old month: ephyrIOs may have no stored total for that service in the month you selected (for example, if it was removed before any data was collected).

To show your emissions on your own website, see Website carbon badge — active applications and server boundaries only.
