Claim 9:
10. A method, comprising:
obtaining, by a system comprising a processor, respective carbon footprint scores for respective types of devices;
determining respective ranges of coefficients for the respective types of devices, comprising performing, for a first initial population of coefficients, an initial phase of a first genetic optimization to obtain first missed constraint data, selecting a first reduced subset of the first initial population based on the first missed constraint data, and performing, for the first reduced subset, a secondary phase of the first genetic optimization to select the respective ranges of coefficients based on minimizing a first objective value corresponding to a combined carbon footprint of the respective devices;
determining per-device coefficients for the respective types of devices, comprising performing, for a second initial population based on the respective ranges of coefficients, an initial phase of a second genetic optimization to obtain second missed constraint data, selecting a second reduced subset of the second initial population based on the second missed constraint data, and performing, for the second reduced subset, a secondary phase of the second genetic optimization to select the per-device coefficients based on minimizing respective second objective values corresponding to power consumption values of the respective types of devices; and
applying respective upper power wattage limits to limit power supplied to the respective types of devices based on the respective device type power consumption values, to reduce an overall power consumption of the respective types of devices, wherein the applying the respective upper power wattage limits to limit the power supplied to the respective types of devices comprises executing optimization logic that modifies respective power consumption of at least one device of the respective types of devices.
