Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 75 rows came out of a blueprint — 24 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
- Each log entry contains timestamped equipment ID, energy consumed (kWh), and waste generated (kg)
- Logs must include status (normal/overuse/excess waste)
- Equipment with sustained overuse triggers an alert
- Monthly waste targets are set and variances calculated per equipment
- Entries must support aggregation by energy source (e.g., grid, solar)
