We can further refine the equation: M = TE * (TR/EL) * (RR/TR) -TE = Total embodied emissions, meaning the sum of LCA emissions for all hardware components -TR = Time reserved, meaning the length of time the hardware is reserved for use by the software -EL = Expected lifespan, meaning the anticipated time that the equipment will be installed -RR = Resources reserved, meaning the number of resources reserved for use by the software -TR = Total Resources, meaning the total number of resources available. +- TE = Total embodied emissions, meaning the sum of LCA emissions for all hardware components +- TR = Time reserved, meaning the length of time the hardware is reserved for use by the software +- EL = Expected lifespan, meaning the anticipated time that the equipment will be installed +- RR = Resources reserved, meaning the number of resources reserved for use by the software +- TR = Total Resources, meaning the total number of resources available. The explanation of each of the components in this formula is also given in the specification.
