We are entering a retrofit market.

Those of you who have built your entire business around capital projects and construction work need to prepare.

There is a lot of opportunity in the market that will potentially be missed by people who are not prepared for it.

In this episode of the Smart Buildings Academy Podcast we discuss:

• What a retrofit market is
• Why I believe we will see a major retrofit market
• How you can be prepared to address this market and win more work

In this episode of the Smart Buildings Podcast we are going to explore Measurement and Verification together.

In this episode we will be discussing Smart Buildings Academy's plans for 2023 and beyond.

As you all well know we are big into transparency and collaboration.

One of the best ways to develop ideas and products rapidly is to place the concepts out into the market and test them.

Today we will be discussing the ideas we are exploring as a business both ideas that are 100% going to happen and things we are currently exploring.

In this episode, we're going to be talking with my good friend Donny Walker, of Newcomb and Boyd.

Donny, and I met back when I still worked at Johnson Controls was part of their analytics and system integration group. And even then I knew that Donny was a unique individual.

You see, I'd met a lot of consultants, I've met a lot of commissioning agents, I've met a lot of engineering firms. And I was like, this is interesting. I'm talking to a guy who gets it. He's not just about the spec. He's not just about only what the owner wants, he is about the system that delivers results.

In this episode we will dive deep into how to build out monitoring based commissioning programs that deliver results.

In this episode we discuss the talent management lifecycle with Lewis Martin of Charlton Morris.  Lewis lays out a step-by-step planning for discovering, hiring, developing, and retaining talent within the smart buildings industry.
