In this episode of The Climate Gap: Quick Cuts, Ben Muwoki sits down with Andy Schonberger, VP of Client Services at Intelligent Buildings.

Too many smart building pilots stall, not because the tech fails, but because the support does. Andy has seen it from both sides, as an operator managing facilities at scale and as an advisor guiding Fortune 500s through digital adoption.

We dig into:

  • How to spot if a client is truly ready to scale
  • Why “bare bones support” kills productivity and momentum
  • The tools, playbooks, and partnerships that extend capacity without adding headcount
