“The environment that we've been in for many years and that we are currently in and heading into is very relevant for what's going on in the space, beyond the fact that smart buildings is highly fragmented and there is natural momentum towards M&A and rolling up a lot of these point solutions or single players from just an industry perspective."

"I like the buildings industry because it's a physical manifestation of our values. A building that is truly net zero, set up to have composting, electric vehicle charging, bike racks that really protect your bike, is a physical manifestation of how much you value your employees. There's nothing better than taking the concept of bettering the environment and putting it into something real that you can touch."

“The reason why less than 10% of the commercial building market actually use building automation can be summarized by just one factor. I could show you 20 images of every building control software or fault diagnostic software out there and it's exactly the same story.

Whether it's a small IOT or big medicine, it's a product designed by college-educated building engineering who really think that there's somebody in a button-down Oxford in an air conditioned office doing nothing but driving those controls."

“One of the things that COVID showed us is that so many people's buildings are not responsive to occupancy. So no matter how well you designed the building with efficient devices, not responding to occupancy is like leaving something on and walking away from it.
