Energy Budgeting
The Energy module tracks power consumption and carbon footprint for every quantum job. Set energy budgets per project, schedule jobs to run during low-carbon windows, and export ISO 14064-compliant carbon reports for ESG compliance.Why Energy Monitoring for Quantum?
Quantum hardware — particularly cryogenic QPUs and HPC clusters — consumes significant power:
For organisations with net-zero targets or regulatory carbon reporting obligations, per-job energy attribution is essential.

Green Scheduling
Submit a job with a green scheduling constraint: QCOS automatically delays execution until a low-carbon window within your specified deadline.Carbon Report Export
