AI-Powered Carbon Estimation in Titles

Overview

The AI estimation feature allows you to display estimated carbon footprint values directly in your system titles when using the AI Builder. This provides quick visual reference for carbon impact without needing to access detailed reports.

How to Enable AI Estimation

1. Start Building with AI
   • Navigate to your system builder
   • Select the option to "Build with AI"
2. Enable Carbon Estimation
   • In the AI Builder modal, look for the new checkbox labeled: "Show estimated carbon footprint in title (for estimation purposes only)"
   • ✅ Check this box to enable the feature
   • ❌ Leave unchecked if you prefer not to display estimates in titles

1. Complete Your System Build
   • Continue with your normal AI building process
   • The system will generate with carbon estimates displayed in the title area

What You'll See

• Title Display: Carbon footprint estimates appear prominently in your system title
• Estimation Clarity: Values are clearly marked as estimates for reference purposes
• Updated Design: New layout with legend positioned at the bottom for better visibility

Best Practices

• Use for Comparison: Enable this feature when comparing multiple system scenarios
• Quick Reference: Ideal for dashboard overviews and high-level presentations
• Remember: These are estimates - refer to detailed analysis for precise calculations

Enhanced Bar Chart Hover Insights

Overview

Our upgraded hover functionality provides detailed scope breakdowns when you hover over elements in bar charts, giving you instant access to Scope 1, 2, and 3 emission data with percentages.

How to Use Enhanced Tooltips

1. Navigate to Bar Chart View
   • Open any system with carbon footprint data
   • Switch to the "Bar Chart" tab in your analysis view
2. Hover for Detailed Information
   • Input Sources: Hover over any input bar to see scope breakdown
   • Direct Emissions: Hover over emission sources for detailed scope information
   • System Components: Hover over linked systems for comprehensive scope data

What the Enhanced Tooltips Show

For All Input Types:

• Scope 1 Emissions: Direct emissions with percentage contribution
• Scope 2 Emissions: Indirect energy-related emissions with percentage
• Scope 3 Emissions: Other indirect emissions with percentage
• Total Embodied Emissions: Complete carbon footprint summary

For System Sources:

• Mixed Scope Display: When systems contain multiple scopes
• Individual Scope Contributions: Breakdown of each scope's impact
• Percentage Distribution: Relative contribution of each scope type

Visual Improvements

• Consistent Design: Same tooltip style across all chart elements
• Clear Scope Identification: Color-coded scope information
• Percentage Clarity: Easy-to-read percentage breakdowns
• Professional Layout: Clean, organized information display
