Abstract
A method for computing the energy rating for cloud-based software services is disclosed. For each of the service, following steps are performed. The method includes identifying configuration parameters impacting the energy consumption. The method further includes determining a value for each configuration parameter. Further, the method includes determining a relative energy rating using a pre-determined equation, based on the values of the configuration parameter. Finally, the method includes assigning a discrete value based on the range of the relative energy rating.
