Amazon AI-enables building sustainability efforts

Amazon is using proprietary artificial intelligence solutions to help ensure its buildings contribute to corporate net-zero carbon goals.

The online giant is helping its buildings conserve water and improve energy efficiency using AI-based tools built on its Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosted cloud platform.

This effort is part of Amazon’s Climate Pledge to operate more sustainably and be net zero carbon across its entire business by 2040. Amazon’s suite of AI-based tools that enhance the efficiency of its buildings and utility management systems include FlowMS, which tracks and traces water leaks.

In addition to FlowMS, Amazon built the Base Building Advanced Monitoring (BBAM) tool. It leverages the AWS machine learning tools Amazon SageMaker and Lambda to monitor the company’s HVAC systems.
