1. An Information Handling System (IHS) comprising:
a host that is executed to manage deployment of a plurality of workspaces; and
a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing program instructions that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to:
obtain an amount of energy consumed by one or more resources of the host;
obtain workspace usage metrics of each of the workspaces;
determine, using the workspace usage metrics, a proportionate amount of energy used by each of the workspaces; and
determine an overall amount of energy used by each workspace over a period of time to create an overall energy consumption amount for each workspace, the overall amount of energy determined by distributing the amount of energy used by each of the resources across each of the workspaces according to the proportionate amount of energy used by each of the workspaces.
