Carbon Footprint Estimate

This endpoint returns information about a particular home's carbon footprint impact. Just enter a home's address information and we'll handle the rest. We look up the building characteristics of that particular home, along with climate characteristics and the fuel mix of the area's electricity generation to provide a personalized estimate.

If you don't need that level of specificity, you can also just enter the state and we'll return the fuel mix to give you a general idea of the carbon impact of electricity in that state.

In the response, "carbon_foot_print" is the estimated annual carbon footprint (in pounds) for that home. Additionally, "estimated_generation_data" represents the estimated mix of fuel sources for that home, where "value" is the percentage of electricity that a particular fuel source generates in that area.
