Abstract: The present disclosure includes a system and method for apportioning power consumption. In an example of apportioning power consumption according to the present disclosure, a transaction mix for a service is determined (104, 204, 330, 420), component resource usage for each of a number of components that are used while completing the service is determined (106, 206, 108, 208, 422), and component power consumption for each of the number of components is determined by use of the component resource usage (334, 424).

Abstract: A system comprises a plurality of functional units powered via a power source. The system further comprises a first functional unit and a second functional unit, wherein the second functional unit is to promote the first functional unit to a management unit based on a management requirement of the system. The management unit is to administrate operations of the system. Once the first functional unit is promoted, the management unit is isolated from the functional units that were not promoted via a virtual network path and a power management unit.

Abstract: Carbon footprint management for structures is disclosed. In an example, a method includes determining a value of a first carbon footprint of the structure when operated at an existing demand for a first time period, and comparing the value of the first carbon footprint to a value of a prorated carbon cap of the structure for the first time period. If the first carbon footprint is less than or equal to the prorated carbon cap, the structure is operated for a second time period according to the existing demand or other demand that keeps a second carbon footprint of the structure below a prorated carbon cap for the second time period. Otherwise, the demand is adjusted to bring the second carbon footprint to approximate the prorated carbon cap for the second time period, and the structure is operated according to the adjusted demand for the second time period.
