We're excited to announce two powerful enhancements to your CarbonSig experience that make carbon footprint analysis more intuitive and informative.
🤖 AI-Powered Carbon Estimation in TitlesTransform how you visualize system impact at a glance! When building systems with AI, you can now display estimated carbon footprint values directly in your system titles for quick reference and comparison.
Key Benefits:
Instant Overview: See carbon estimates without diving into detailed reports
Quick Comparisons: Compare multiple system scenarios at a glance
Enhanced Workflow: Streamline your decision-making process
Optional Feature: Choose when you want this information displayed
📊 Enhanced Bar Chart Hover Insights
Get deeper insights instantly! Our improved hover tooltips now show detailed scope breakdowns (Scope 1, 2, and 3) with percentages, giving you the complete picture of your carbon footprint composition.
Key Benefits:
Detailed Scope Analysis: See exact breakdown of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
Percentage Insights: Understand the relative contribution of each scope
Consistent Experience: Same detailed view across all input types
Faster Analysis: No need to switch between different views for scope details

These features are live now in your CarbonSig account. Check out our detailed help guide below to learn how to make the most of these new capabilities.
AI-Powered Carbon Estimation in Titles
Overview
The AI estimation feature allows you to display estimated carbon footprint values directly in your system titles when using the AI Builder. This provides quick visual reference for carbon impact without needing to access detailed reports.
How to Enable AI Estimation
Start Building with AI
Navigate to your system builder
Select the option to "Build with AI"
Enable Carbon Estimation
In the AI Builder modal, look for the new checkbox labeled: "Show estimated carbon footprint in title (for estimation purposes only)"
✅ Check this box to enable the feature
❌ Leave unchecked if you prefer not to display estimates in titles
Complete Your System Build
Continue with your normal AI building process
The system will generate with carbon estimates displayed in the title area
What You'll See
Title Display: Carbon footprint estimates appear prominently in your system title
Estimation Clarity: Values are clearly marked as estimates for reference purposes
Updated Design: New layout with legend positioned at the bottom for better visibility
Best Practices
Use for Comparison: Enable this feature when comparing multiple system scenarios
Quick Reference: Ideal for dashboard overviews and high-level presentations
Remember: These are estimates - refer to detailed analysis for precise calculations
Enhanced Bar Chart Hover Insights
Overview
Our upgraded hover functionality provides detailed scope breakdowns when you hover over elements in bar charts, giving you instant access to Scope 1, 2, and 3 emission data with percentages.
How to Use Enhanced Tooltips
Navigate to Bar Chart View
Open any system with carbon footprint data
Switch to the "Bar Chart" tab in your analysis view
Hover for Detailed Information
Input Sources: Hover over any input bar to see scope breakdown
Direct Emissions: Hover over emission sources for detailed scope information
System Components: Hover over linked systems for comprehensive scope data
What the Enhanced Tooltips Show
For All Input Types:
Scope 1 Emissions: Direct emissions with percentage contribution
Scope 2 Emissions: Indirect energy-related emissions with percentage
Scope 3 Emissions: Other indirect emissions with percentage
Total Embodied Emissions: Complete carbon footprint summary
For System Sources:
Mixed Scope Display: When systems contain multiple scopes
Individual Scope Contributions: Breakdown of each scope's impact
Percentage Distribution: Relative contribution of each scope type
Visual Improvements
Consistent Design: Same tooltip style across all chart elements
Clear Scope Identification: Color-coded scope information
Percentage Clarity: Easy-to-read percentage breakdowns
Professional Layout: Clean, organized information display
Comparison with Previous Version
Before | After |
Simple name + total CO2 | Detailed scope breakdown |
Basic percentage of total | Individual scope percentages |
Limited insight | Comprehensive emission analysis |
Generic tooltips | Source-specific information |
🛠️ Troubleshooting
AI Estimation Issues
Problem: Checkbox not appearing in AI Builder
Solution: Ensure you're using the latest version and refresh your browser
Problem: Estimates not showing in title
Solution: Verify the checkbox was selected before building the system
Bar Chart Tooltip Issues
Problem: Tooltips not showing scope breakdown
Solution: Ensure your system has scope data available and try refreshing the chart
