The Open Energy Badge is a project where we propose a new badge for Github Repositories that informs about the cost of:

• Running the tests in the project
• How much a certain activity costs (ex. the cost of an API call)
• How much building the static website costs
• etc.

It is created automatically by our Green Metrics Tool and can freely be used.

The energy metrics created come in different metric types, depending on if you tested it locally on your dev system or on our hosted demo instance with option to submit software for measuring.

See the badge in action for instance on our documentation repository where you can directly see how much the building costs of the static pages where.
