System and method for minimizing greenhouse gas emissions due to component replacement in client information handling systems

A method for minimizing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with recommended refurbishment and replacement of a first client information handling system comprising:

• receiving, via a network interface device, operational telemetry measurements for a first client information handling system operated by a first user, including power analytics, software application analytics, a first user usage profile, and a determined CO2 emissions value exceeding a non-eco-friendly state transition threshold value determined for the first client information handling system;
• executing code instructions of the device refurbishment CO2 emissions minimization system, via a hardware processor, to identify, via a neural network modeling a relationship between changes in CO2 emissions values and changes in the operational telemetry measurements, a CO2 increase causative operational telemetry measurement contributing to the determined CO2 emissions value that is dependent upon a workload placed on the first client information handling system;
• determining that a second user usage profile associated with a second user of a second client information handling system differs from the first user usage profile with respect to workload placed on the second client information handling system;
• and
• transmitting, via the network interface device, generated recommendation instructions for display at the second client information handling system that the first client information handling system is recommended for replacement of the second client information handling system to the second user.

A device refurbishment carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions minimization system executing on a unified endpoint management (UEM) platform information handling system comprising:

• a network interface device to receive first operational telemetry measurements for a first client information handling system operated by a first user, including first power analytics, first software application analytics, a first user usage profile, and a first determined CO2 emissions value exceeding a non-eco-friendly state transition threshold value determined for the first client information handling system;
• the network interface device to receive second operational telemetry measurements for a second client information handling system operated by a second user, including second power analytics and second software application analytics;
• a hardware processor executing code instructions of the device refurbishment CO2 emissions minimization system to identify, via a neural network modeling a relationship between changes in CO2 emissions values and changes in the first operational telemetry measurements, a CO2 increase causative operational telemetry measurement contributing to the first determined CO2 emissions value that is dependent upon a workload placed on a hardware component of the first client information handling system, of a hardware type, by the first user;
• the hardware processor to determine the first user previously rejected a recommendation to cap resources of the hardware component of the hardware type consumed during execution of a software or firmware application at a maximum resource threshold value;
• the hardware processor to determine the second operational telemetry measurements indicate previous consumption of resources for the hardware type during use by the second user below the maximum resource threshold value;
• and
• the network interface device to generate and transmit recommendation instructions for display at the second client information handling system that the first client information handling system is recommended for replacement of the second client information handling system to the second user.
