Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 55 rows came out of a blueprint — 19 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.

Rules it was built with
  • Each row represents a distinct virtual event session.
  • Event duration, participant count, and streaming technology type must be included.
  • Carbon emission calculations based on server usage, data transmission, and participant device energy profiles.
  • Flag events exceeding pre-set carbon thresholds for actionable insights.
  • Include additional metrics for event format (webinar, workshop, conference).
