SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR ONLINE COLLABORATION ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

An automated computer-implemented process can be executed by a monitoring server for real-time environmental impact assessment of a distributed computer system. The process includes receiving power metrics from metrics sources, the power metrics representing power usage by resources of the distributed computer system. The process further includes determining environmental impact metrics that represent amounts of CO2 emissions created by the distributed computer system. The process further includes comparing the environmental impact metrics with a CO2 emissions benchmark. The process further includes determining that the environmental impact metrics exceed the CO2 emissions benchmark. The process further includes outputting for display to a participant of a virtual meeting a prompt with a suggestion for executing a remedial measure that reduces CO2 emissions created by the distributed computer system.
