In a way, the exponential growth of machine-to-machine communications and connected sensors, what we call Internet of Things (IoT), is rapidly becoming an example of too much of a good thing. Fortunately, edge computing can help make that wealth of data a good deal more usable. IoT allows for communication between connected machines, devices and sensors that is creating data at levels never seen before, data volumes that are growing at such a rate that organizations, as well as government agenci

If energy efficiency has made it to the mainstream years ago, Greenbiz reported last year that some large companies are just getting more serious on conserving water, an increasingly critical commodity. Water is an important part of supply chain management as it is part of every business operation. It is most likely incorporated in the final product, used to grow crops, clean equipment, provide or remove heat from a process and many other ways… As Bob Willard observed in his book – T

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

MTAG Services gathered their employees to participate in a day-long volunteer service event to retrofit and energy upgrade a low-income home for the family in need, while also generously sponsoring the materials and supplies for the retrofit. The MTAG employees worked hand-in-hand with the Veterans Conservation Corps members of The Sustainability Institute to learn first-hand how to upgrade the home for energy efficiency and help save the homeowner money on their energy bill.

In my New York Times bestselling book, Flash Foresight , I shared a proven methodology I have developed and refined over the decades for separating Hard Trends, those future facts that will happen, from Soft Trends, those assumptions about the future that might happen. By learning how to accurately anticipate much of the future before it happens, you can accelerate innovation and competitive advantage.

When I first discovered Moore’s Law in 1983, I realized I could use it as one of my tools to accurately predict the future of technological change. At the time, few were paying much attention to Moore’s law. Over the decades, the press has declared the death of Moore’s law, usually stating that it is impossible for scientists to make processors smaller and more powerful at the same exponential rate.

Taquim. Energy Conservation Corps. Not all love is love at first sight. This was the case for Taquim when he first joined the Energy Conservation Corps – not entirely convinced by the idea but willing to try something new. Before his local pastor recommended the Sustainability Institute, you could find Taquim either lifeguarding at a local pool or playing soccer with his friends.

There are still reasons to cheer in our fight against climate change. According to the respected International Energy Agency’s new report, global greenhouse gases emissions from energy remained flat in 2016 while the global economy grew by 3.1 percent. . This is the third year in a row that emissions from energy are flat, yet, climate scientists report that our atmosphere is seeing its carbon content grow faster than ever.
