Software Carbon Intensity
A SoftwareCarbonIntensity property references a published Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) score or methodology document for an API or service. SCI is an ISO-ratified standard from the Green Software Foundation quantifying carbon intensity using the formula SCI = ((E * I) + M) per R — where E is energy consumed, I is the marginal carbon intensity of electricity, M is embodied carbon, and R is a functional unit such as per API call or per user. Publishing an SCI score makes carbon efficiency measurable and comparable across API providers.
