The Edge is a building in Amsterdam. Deloitte has a headquarters there.[1][2][3]

It was considered the greenest and smartest building in the world. It has 28 thousand sensors, connected to a network that not only coordinates the logistics of the building and people, how it collects and analyzes data on community behaviour. The British rating agency BREEAM awarded the building a record sustainability score of 98.4 percent, the highest ever given. [1]

Features include the orientation of the building, solar panels, underground water aquifer thermal storage pumps and sensors on lights.
