Demonstrates environmental stewardship through greater operational efficiencies
CARY, N.C. — Building on its corporate sustainability leadership and Internet of Things (IoT) technology prowess, SAS is taking steps to establish a "smart campus" at its Cary, North Carolina, headquarters. Through SAS' advanced, real-time analytics, the smart campus project will improve energy usage while proactively monitoring equipment performance to boost operational longevity. Starting with a handful of buildings, two on-site solar farms, and select waste containers, the project will eventually span across most of the 24 buildings on campus.
"Analytics should be one of the cornerstones of smart city management," said SAS CEO, Jim Goodnight. "Using our own analytics to help us operate more efficiently and identify ways to make improvements on our campus has additional value for our customers. It gives us first-hand insight into how we can help them navigate their own smart city-related initiatives with products and best practices that will help them be successful."
