Services

Sabu services are focused runtime components. Each service is designed to perform a specific responsibility within the broader framework.

The naming convention for services is:

jug_domain_specifics

In this convention, jug means service.

Service list

Service	Purpose	Status
jug_lca_buildings	Calculates building-level embodied and end-of-life carbon emissions from GeoJSON input	Main implemented service
jug_gis_cities	Supports city-scale geospatial data preparation workflows	Planned for fuller Sabu architectural alignment
jug_gis_validation	Supports validation of geospatial datasets	Planned for fuller Sabu architectural alignment
jug_sim_buildings	Intended for future scenario-based building simulation workflows	Planned; not yet developed

Main service: jug_lca_buildings

jug_lca_buildings is the current reference implementation for the Sabu architecture.

It demonstrates the main service design principles:

• explicit input structure,
• API-based execution,
• direct Python execution,
• Docker-based execution,
• generated artifacts,
• reusable outputs,
• shared infrastructure through sabu-chassis.

Geospatial services

jug_gis_cities and jug_gis_validation support the geospatial side of the Sabu workflow.

The intended future service chain is:

geospatial preparation → geospatial validation → carbon emissions calculation

In this chain:

1. jug_gis_cities prepares geospatial data.
2. jug_gis_validation validates processed geospatial data.
3. jug_lca_buildings calculates building-level carbon emissions from prepared inputs.
