🎧 #018: Logan Soya on how to engage key stakeholders in the energy efficiency journey Sep 10, 2020

Show notes

“Suddenly there was this complete transformative awakening that, okay, I'm not actually just solving the problems of the building. I have to understand: Who are the users in the building? Why do they do what they do? How does real estate work? Why do people buy and sell buildings? And if I can answer those questions, then I can bring it all the way back to: Why are buildings inefficient in the first place?”

🎧 #016: Brad Pilgrim on how multifamily buildings can achieve energy Parity Aug 27, 2020

Show notes

“I said, what have we done as far as energy efficiency? And the answer I got back was: we've done everything we can; we've changed over to LEDs. And I think by that point I was like, got it, okay. So your understanding of energy optimization or efficiency is LEDs. Which is sort of like that classic light bulb moment.”

🎧 #015: Deb Noller on the acceleration of smart building adoption post-COVID Aug 20, 2020

Show notes

“I call that the year that I tried to sell Uber to the taxi drivers. You know, taxi drivers have spent a lot of money on their medallions or their plates. They get up every morning, they know how they make their money, right. So there's no reason to change. If nobody's on the block eating your lunch, then you're just going to get up every single day and do the same thing.”

🎧 #011: Cory Mosiman on the state of Haystack, Brick, and ASHRAE 223 Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

“There's many different use cases for the same data, right? So just because someone tags a data set for their use case, doesn't mean it then enables every smart building use case that could possibly use that data.”

🎧 #009: Terry Herr of Intellimation on the past, present, and future of building analytics Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

“Part of what I see happening with operators is a transition from actually operating to troubleshooting and repair. Because to me, in a perfect world, when you get the automation right, you do have an automated self-driving building. And so they don't really need an operator. You need an operator maybe to change schedules and change set points, but the key is going to be keeping the sensors and the actuators working and mechanical equipment working… troubleshooting and repair… so that you get it back to being automatic.”

🎧 #008: Jean-Simon Venne on using AI to transition from reactive to proactive Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

“How do you make the AI work with humans? So, I don't know if you had the pleasure to sit in an autonomous car… [but] I don't trust it, and it's because I've been conditioned with… a lot of years of driving myself. And for me, you put me behind a wheel… I'm not gonna just cross my arm and look at the show, right?…

So I think anybody who has been maintaining a building for years and years, and it's become your building and you're very proud of what you do, and you should be, it's not an easy job… [But] what about the AI becoming your second in command, managing the ship 24/7, so you could have a better night’s sleep?”

🎧 #007: Thru Shivakumar of Cohesion on what makes a building intelligent May 28, 2020

Show notes

“Things in a building don't happen in a silo—all the operations happen together. So we can't look at the data coming off of it in a silo.”

🎧 #006: Prabhu Ramachandran of Facilio on a single pane of glass for the portfolio May 17, 2020

Show notes

"When we started Facilio, I saw that real estate as a market was a couple of decades behind where telecom is today. In last 20 years, if you look at telecom as an industry, it has undergone tremendous evolution every few years, every five years, right? From the landline to mobile, within mobile, 2G, 3G, 4G, now 5G, and even the adoption of telecom across the world has been very, very fast… One of the core pillars is their ability to remotely run their operations in a very, very efficient way so that they are able to scale faster, plus they are able to offer a high level of service quality.

🎧 #005: Troy Harvey of PassiveLogic on next-generation building automation May 07, 2020

Show notes

“Does that put them out of business? No, I think what it does is, whether it's fault detection or analytics or district management or energy audits, is allow them to let go of the 80% of work that's just weighing them down and focus on the 20% of work where all their value is, which means they get to put five times more effort into the high value part of their business.”
