Using the Power Platform to assess sustainability of Australian Green Buildings: Power BI and Data Analytics for Enviro’s (August 2021)

The "Power BI and Data Analytics for Enviros" meetup group is all about sharing tips, tricks and hacks for analysing, visualising and communicating environmental data. The purpose of this blog is to summarise the key take-aways from each of the presenters, to help with sharing knowledge, empowering others and creating a strong data culture within our community.

🎦 Check out the full event recording here 🎦

In August we had Stephen Thatcher (GBCA) and Liam Murray (Build-Apps) talking to us about an entire Power Platform solution developed for the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA). Liam and Stephen shared the ideas and tech behind the Green Star Project Directory and the publicly available Power BI report which highlights Green Star projects across Australia is available here: https://www.gbca.org.au/green-star-project-directory/. If you’re after any more information about the Green Star Project, then contact the GBCA at: https://new.gbca.org.au/contact/ or alternatively, Stephen or Liam directly.
