Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 120 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 row represents an individual remote employee’s monthly activity
- Power usage must include both work devices and home heating/cooling
- Commuting emissions are recorded only if hybrid work is reported
- Virtual meeting emissions calculated based on duration and participant count
- Renewable energy usage receives positive sustainability weighting
- Employees must self-report environmental practices for validation
