Amazon (Global Engineering, Maintenance & Sustainability)
Energy, Water, and Carbon Scorecard Analysis
Amazon’s Global Energy Automation and Sustainability organization needed better analytics to identify and prioritize opportunities to reduce operational emissions, water use, and embodied carbon across its global network. This project supported the development of a scorecard and related analytics capabilities intended to combine data pipelines, visualizations, forecasting, and insight generation for varying levels of water and energy consumption of new construction. At a high level, the system was designed to help surface actionable opportunities for control system optimization, operational and behavioral changes, retrofit initiatives, and lower‑carbon building decisions. The student team worked to provide a more consistent, data‑driven foundation for decarbonization and water efficiency programs in support of Amazon’s Climate Pledge commitments.
