![]() (GISi), of Birmingham, Alabama, was already supporting the Naval Facilities Engineering Command’s continued on page 2 Schultz knew that Esri Platinum Partner Geographic Information Services, Inc. Previously, there was no effective way of visualizing and displaying the important tabular data in the business systems that tracked energy usage. ArcGIS Streamlined Data Meets the Navy’s Goals The CNIC HQ Energy Program manager, Sandrine Schultz, had a vision of an overarching geospatial tool that would provide the navy with centralized information access for tracking, measuring, and planning energy usage to meet the program’s goals. The program aims to provide a means of measurement and verification and, most importantly, the knowledge base to make more informed decisions. As the program expands, energy usage will become highly visible and the culture will change.Īdvancing new technologies is key to the program’s goals of streamlining the capture of data, leveraging business systems that contain energy consumption information, and combining them to create powerful tools for the program managers. To meet these goals in part and reduce energy demands across installations, CNIC has adopted a facility energy strategy that consists of innovation, expansion, and awareness. The goals of the program are to achieve by 2020 a 50 percent reduction in energy consumption and be at 50 percent usage of renewable energy. The navy department known as CNIC (Commander, Navy Installation Command) has responded by creating the CNIC Energy Program, which was developed to provide guidance, policy, and tools for implementing broad-based energy reduction and sustainability practices within the navy-everything from replacing old windows and installing new heating systems to installing smart meters on buildings and seeking out and utilizing renewable and alternative sources, like wind turbines and solar panels. Budget constraints across the military services put further emphasis on the need to secure the nation’s energy supplies and create federally mandated programs. US Navy Implements Broad-Based Sustainability Program Energy awareness is becoming a major focus for the United States federal government as both costs and demand rise. Portal for ArcGIS allows users to configure and deploy ArcGIS Online capabilities on premises-enabling organizations to easily integrate GIS everywhere. GIS Tools for Hadoop unlocks spatial patterns and relationships concealed within big data. To bypass the capacity limitations of working with billions of records at a time, Esri created GIS Tools for Hadoop, a toolkit for executing spatial analysis in the Hadoop environment and looping it back into ArcGIS. ![]() The strength of your data stewardship therefore depends on how much command you have over big data. These advances are giving rise to a change in the very way we position GIS, from a software system designed to unlock the power of geographic information to a comprehensive platform that continued on page 8ĪrcGIS Tools and Hadoop Analyze Large Data Storesīreathe Life into Big Data With data influx reaching exabyte levels, big data can easily become unmanageable and useless without the proper tools to analyze it fast. ![]() There are also new capabilities enabling new opportunities for developers. Esri is working hard and is in the process of releasing many new capabilities in ArcGIS 10.2, such as real-time data integration, online analysis tools, spatial analysis in the cloud, location analytics, new templates and apps, and web story maps for everyone. Dramatic changes are taking place in the enabling computing and communication technologies that GIS relies on, and new software is leveraging these changes to evolve and transform GIS and our user community. It’s a great time to be a GIS professional. Esri continues to support making Landsat Easily access and analyze imagery and image processing part of our platform and has Landsat data with ArcGIS. With the launch of Landsat 8 in February of this year, the continuity of the program is assured into at least the next decade. Landsat data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) is one of the best sources for understanding and analyzing changes to our world that have occurred over the last 40 years.
