🎧 #051: Rachel Kennedy on digital device discovery (Dx³) and reflections on teaching smart buildings
20 mei 2021 · 43 min
The digital readiness score is our way of quickly highlighting whether the building is ready (for new technology). We’re looking at network communication speed, the data density from the number of devices and points, the data accessibility based on the protocols, and the scope of the digital systems. And that's been allowing us to say, “yes, you’re digital ready”. Lees meer

“Future readiness… this isn't about guessing that 5G is the future on this particular frequency, and I'm going to put that in my building and put all my eggs in that basket. It's about: how do we take a step back and make sure that as and when these technologies mature to a level that they're a definite ‘must have’ in a building, that I, as a landlord, can rapidly evolve the way my building is set up to deliver those features?”

🎧 #045: Leon Wurfel on how analytics can scale and founding BUENO
8 april 2021 · 58 min
“I think where the industry needs to get to is… looking at how best to service a portfolio, rather than the kind of one-to-one [management team to building] relationship. And there's a tipping point of scale where it's not even like a business case anymore, it's like an IQ test as to whether you've got that different [portfolio-scale] operational model in place. But I think like what the technology is doing is lowering that barrier to entry, that crossover point where having a centralized operational model makes sense.”

18 maart 2021 · 1 uur 3 min
“Buildings are not bonds… The key difference that I think a huge amount of the real estate industry does not appreciate is that a building is a product that people have to use. So it is a fixed income asset, but it is also a product that people need to be in, you know, for you to make money as an owner. And that is really, really evident right now.”

🎧 #040: Jeremy Macdonald on sustainability, ESG, and where analytics fit
4 maart 2021 · 1 uur 6 min
“The more time we spend going to answer a hot/cold call, the less time we spend taking care of key issues and making sure the facilities really runs right. And you can't send a person around fast enough to check all the things that your technology solution can check. It's just not even practical to think of all the different things… So there is a huge payback for every single person that tries to do monitoring-based commissioning. It hasn't really failed yet… Um, I'll go back on that. Failure points are if you do nothing with the data.”

🎧 #038: Rajavel Subramanian on the 3 types of software silos and how the overlay helps
18 februari 2021 · 50 min
“Because that large scale technology transformation hasn’t happened, that’s probably the cause of outdated business models, lack of IT skillsets, lack of ownership of technology initiatives and leaving it to vendors, etc. It was once the same for other industries. I think the building owners themselves will be the champions of this change.”

"We can’t try to bring them all [ontologies] together. We can’t make them all one. What we need to do is really focus on delivering the outcomes and delivering the use cases, and then have data engineers worry about how to normalize that data.

🎧 #031: Why technology in buildings is decades behind
17 december 2020 · 43 min
“You built a building 25 years ago, and the stuff you put in there, it’s still there.”
-Keith Berkoben of Google Lees meer"For consumer facing technology, you know, people talk about the market working in all kinds of mysterious ways, but if you don't have a feedback path, the market doesn't work.”
- Andrew Rodgers of ACE IoT
“So you have this fundamental difference of perspective, where the people who ran the companies saw technology is a risk and a cost. And then you had the markets saying, well, I'm not going to go into that market and develop anything technological, because I can't get enough uptake. And between that and the .com bust…”

🎧 #019: Tyson Soutter on how to sell smart building technology
17 september 2020 · 1 uur 30 min
“A lot of this building tech industry, they always come in and say, ‘We want to be a SaaS.’ And if you're going to be a SaaS, great. You have to continue to add value, and that value doesn't disappear ever. It has to continue, and it has to be able to sustain multiple patterns and multiple years. Lees meer
So it's not that easy. You have to be very careful on what you sell, because you can be successful for one year. And we've all seen those companies that come in make a really big noise for one year, and then disappear, because they don't have a sustained value selling proposition. And that is very critical to be able to sell the technology in our industry.”

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
20 augustus 2020 · 54 min
“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.”

🎧 #009: Terry Herr of Intellimation on the past, present, and future of building analytics
10 juni 2020 · 1 uur
“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
4 juni 2020 · 1 uur 4 min
“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?… Lees meer
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?”

🎧 #006: Prabhu Ramachandran of Facilio on a single pane of glass for the portfolio
17 mei 2020 · 1 uur 5 min
"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.

“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.”

“The reality is: institutional knowledge is retiring. Lees meer
So what is shared knowledge? It means you have a single source of truth. It means you have a diagnostics platform where the data doesn't lie—it's accurate and tuned to your operations and sequences. It means your mechanical technicians, controls technicians, energy engineers, sustainability professionals, and design engineers all have access to that same information based on what they need to do their job.”

🎧 #003: Nick Gayeski of KGS Buildings on FDD at scale and 5 waves of smart building tech
16 april 2020 · 50 min
“I think the first wave of adopters saw energy as the primary benefit. Our experience is that the current wave of adopters sees condition-based or predictive maintenance as the primary benefit, that they have staffing challenges, resource challenges, knowledge gaps that fault detection and analytics on buildings and building systems fills so they can have a smarter maintenance strategy for the long term. Lees meer
And I think maintenance is fundamentally going to shift into a more data-driven, proactive approach rather than, you know, mostly PMs or preventative maintenance or reactive. And I think that's where analytics and FDD has the biggest role to play.”
