This section is composed of several very useful articles to understand in detail what e-footprint is and how to use it to ecodesign your digital service.

  • the e-footprint scope article defines digital services and states that it is possible to model any digital service with e-footprint.
  • Why e-footprint ? makes the case for modeling: it compares the three ecodesign strategies (best practices, measurement, modeling), explains why an explicit model is necessary, and derives what a model of a digital service must contain.
  • How to get started suggests the identification of an e-footprint owner within any team who wants to ecodesign its service.
  • The e-footprint methodology details the steps in the iterative modeling process.
  • Web vs edge modeling lays out e-footprint's two modeling paradigms and when to use each.
