Verbose

In the interest of transparency of our methods, data and source, all data used by the API can be described in the response to a request if the option verbose is set as true

Impacts per components

For each component evaluated in a request the manufacture impact of one component unit is returned

"impacts": {
  "gwp": {
      "manufacture": 24,
      "use": "not implemented",
      "unit": "kgCO2eq"
  },
  "pe": {
      "manufacture": 293,
      "use": "not implemented",
      "unit": "MJ"
  },
  "adp": {
      "manufacture": 0.0011,
      "use": "not implemented",
      "unit": "kgSbeq"
  }
}

Impact per usage

When the usage impacts are evaluated at component or device level, the attributes and usage impacts are returned.

    }

Units

The number of unit per component in a device is returned.

"units": 2,

Boattribute

For each attribute used in the evaluation process we return :

  • Its value
  • Its unit
  • Its status :
    • INPUT : the value have been given by the user
    • COMPLETED : the value have set by the API according to user inputs
    • DEFAULT : the default value have been set by the API
    • CHANGED : the value have given by the user have been changed by the API
    • ARCHETYPE : the default value have been set by the API from the archetype
  • The source of data in case the data have been COMPLETED or CHANGED and sometimes when the default value come from a secondary source.
