Generated 2026-06-29 by scripts/eco/eco-audit.sh Aligned with KDE Eco / Blue Angel DE-UZ 215 criteria.

Score: 🟡 14/20 (70%) — B — Good

Check	Score	Detail
❌ green hosting	0/2	Green hosting (❌ Not verified green — hosted by unknown)
✅ foss license	2/2	FOSS license present (LICENSE) + REUSE/SPDX compliant (.reuse/dep5 + LICENSES/)
✅ no telemetry	2/2	No telemetry/tracking found
⚠️ no forced updates	1/2	Possible forced update patterns (7 hits — review manually)
✅ concurrency groups	2/2	Concurrency groups: 164/181 workflows (90%)
✅ graphql adoption	2/2	GraphQL adopted in 35 scripts (reduces API quota consumption)
✅ dep minimalism	2/2	Low dependency footprint: 0.2 installs/workflow avg
⚠️ carbon estimate	1/2	Carbon estimate available: ~27.13 kg CO2e/year (stub — KEcoLab needed for precision)
❌ keco lab	0/2	KEcoLab: not yet configured (stub — requires GitLab CI + physical hardware)
✅ old hardware	2/2	No minimum hardware requirements specified (shell scripts run on any hardware)

Carbon Footprint Estimate

Parameter	Value	Source
Daily workflow runs	~100	Estimate
Avg job duration	~3 min	Estimate
Runner TDP	~30W	GitHub ubuntu-latest (2-core shared VM)
Azure PUE	1.18	Microsoft 2023 Sustainability Report
Grid intensity	420 gCO2/kWh	EPA eGRID 2022, MROW (Azure North Central US)
Annual estimate	~27.13 kg CO2e/year	Proxy — not measured

⚠️ This is a proxy estimate. Precise measurement requires KEcoLab.

KEcoLab (GitLab Stub)

KEcoLab is KDE's remote energy measurement lab. It uses a physical power meter connected to test hardware to measure actual watt-hours consumed per use case.

This cannot run on GitHub Actions — it requires physical hardware at KDE's infrastructure. The stub below is ready to activate when hosted on GitLab.

Setup steps

Write KdeEcoTest scripts simulating user interactions with your software
Add .gitlab-ci-eco.yml to your repo (template: scripts/eco/gitlab-ci-eco.yml.tpl)
Submit to KEcoLab: https://invent.kde.org/teams/eco/remote-eco-lab
Receive energy consumption report (watt-hours per use case)
Apply for Blue Angel DE-UZ 215 if criteria are met
