One of the areas where a significant difference can be made is in the management and optimization of resource use, such as energy and paper. This **Analyzer** option presents a series of metrics and data related to paper printing and electrical consumption of devices and their peripherals, which are essential for understanding and improving energy efficiency and sustainability in the workplace. ## Interface This dashboard view is divided into three tabs: * **Overview.** Unified data of the entire carbon footprint generated. * **Printed copies.** Displays information about monthly printing in the organization, in black and white or color, as well as metrics of the users and printers that generate the most printing. * **Energy.** Displays the energy consumption generated by the use of devices and their peripherals, as well as data on radioactive waste resulting from energy generation. Carbon footprint data for electrical consumption and printing is only recorded for physical devices, not virtual ones. ### Overview The overview view groups the data collected both at the level of energy consumption and printing, to display monthly information. Data included in the view (current month): * Total carbon footprint generated * Carbon footprint generated by printing * Carbon footprint generated by electrical consumption * Amount of radioactive waste generated in the current month * Graphical view of the monthly evolution of the carbon footprint generated ### Printed copies The carbon footprint analysis for the management and optimization of resource use in the printing area consists of taking measures that lead to a reduction in paper and energy consumption, as well as the carbon footprint associated with printing devices. This section presents a dashboard-style view with information about the printing performed and the carbon footprint that this activity generates. The carbon footprint of printed copies is calculated using the following estimates: * 10 g of CO2e per black-and-white A4 copy * 15 g of CO2e per color A4 copy * **Total printed copies in \[current month].** Shows short-term paper usage trends. It helps identify areas of intensive use, as well as opportunities to reduce the amount of printing or promote double-sided printing. * **Equivalent carbon footprint.** Provides a direct sense of the environmental impact of printing activities. It can motivate the adoption of policies to reduce the carbon footprint, such as digitizing documents and implementing paperless initiatives. * **Top printed copies by printer.** View of printers, sorted by the number of printouts in the current month. * **Printed copies in \[Current year].** View of the total black-and-white and color printing performed, month by month, during the current year. * **Average copies per user.** Average printing per user in the current month. * **Top printed copies by user.** List of users, sorted by the number of printouts during the current month. ### Energy The carbon footprint of energy consumption is calculated by multiplying the energy consumption of the device and shows the average of kgCO2e per kWh in Spain, which is 0.1 kgCO2e/kWh. Radioactive material from energy is calculated by multiplying the device's energy consumption and is shown with the average of kgCO2e per kWh in Spain, which is 0.512 g/kWh. This section presents a dashboard-style view with information about the carbon footprint and radioactive waste generated by the electrical consumption of devices. Using the selector at the top right, you can select the view of radioactive material or carbon footprint generated. #### Radioactive material * **Total energy radioactive material in \[Current month].** Shows the total in grams of radioactive material generated during the current month. * **Average radioactive material per workspace in \[Current month].** Shows the average radioactive material per workstation in the current month. * **Radioactive material per day in \[Current month].** Estimated chart of grams of radioactive waste generated in the current month. * **Top workspaces by uptime.** Top 10 devices by time powered on in the current month. * **Top workspaces by inactive time.** Top 10 devices by inactive time in the current month. * **Top workspaces by radioactive material generated.** Top 10 devices that generate the most radioactive material. Radioactive material calculations are performed using averages of CPU and screen consumption by the average radioactive material generated per kWh in Spain (0.512 g). * **Top workspaces by inactive time and radioactive material generated.** Top 10 devices that generate the most radioactive material while inactive. It is calculated using the average of the CPU and screen by the average radioactive material generated per kWh in Spain (0.512 g).
