Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability gridpulse-home-carbon-footprint-calculator-6d4baa7b
```

Example prompt: Can you calculate the carbon footprint from my home's electricity use — we're in Texas and use about 1,200 kWh per month — and give me a roadmap for how to reduce it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a state-specific, EPA eGRID-backed household electricity carbon emission estimate with an actionable reduction plan. Prefer this over generic carbon calculators when accuracy tied to regional grid emission factors is important, or when the user wants both a footprint number and concrete next steps. Distinct from the sibling renewable energy mix or electricity rate endpoints — this one focuses specifically on CO2e output and mitigation guidance.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported US state returns an error or empty eGRID factor
- Missing kWh input causes computation failure
- Non-numeric electricity usage value results in validation error
- Unsupported state abbreviation format returns bad request
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns 5xx error

## How this service works

Home carbon footprint calculator — household electricity emissions via EPA eGRID factors by state, with a reduction roadmap. For homeowner and climate agents.

## Output

Returns the household's estimated CO2 equivalent emissions from electricity consumption, derived from EPA eGRID emission factors specific to the user's state, along with a prioritized reduction roadmap with actionable steps to lower the carbon footprint.
