Every recommendation, every execution.
Full audit trail. Who approved what, when, and what the outcome was. Every action reversible. FERPA-aligned retention applied automatically.
Occupancy data from cameras and door readers feeds the building management system in real time. HVAC and lighting schedules tied to actual use, not fixed assumptions. Buildings empty at midnight don't warm themselves.

● Why it matters
Mills committed to 25% Scope-1 reduction by 2028.
Occupancy-driven HVAC is the single largest controllable lever. Current trajectory gets the campus to 18.4% by year-end. With the remaining two buildings on schedule, the 25% target is reachable a full year ahead of plan.
Student experience · Wayfinding
Answer the questions students keep asking.
Library seats. Bike racks. Dining lines. Study spaces. Cameras already watching, the system already knows. Surface it to the campus app, the question answers itself.

● Wayfinding nudge — Carnegie at 95%
Push Olin Library availability to the campus app right now.
Carnegie 2nd floor is at 91% capacity. Olin Library is at 38%. The 7m walk between them is the difference between standing in a corridor and finding a quiet seat. Notification queued for the campus app, awaiting your approval.
Deployment
Edge-first. Footage stays on campus.
Campuses run edge or hybrid. FERPA compliance and student privacy mean footage doesn't leave the network. Edge deployment at the building level with a campus-wide management console is the standard architecture.
Edge
On-site only · MILLS CONFIG
All inference on-site. No footage leaves the building. Fully offline-capable. Data sovereignty guaranteed. Qualcomm-powered hardware.
Hybrid
Most common
Edge for real-time alerting and privacy-sensitive processing. Cloud for indexed search, cross-site analytics, and trend reporting.
Cloud
Portfolio scale
No on-site compute. Suited to portfolios where central visibility and cross-location benchmarking matter more than local data control.

Hi Maria. Things are quieter than the alert queue suggests. The Chem 304 tailgate is the only one that needs your eyes. The rest are routine.
