In this episode of The FSG Podcast, host Daniel Litwin sits down with David Burrough, Director of Business Development at FSG, to explore the practical side of energy efficiency for commercial buildings. Burrough shares a wealth of insights from years of experience helping facility teams identify waste, prioritize upgrades, and create real ROI through smarter strategies.

The conversation goes beyond buzzwords to address what efficiency really looks like on the ground—especially in aging facilities where budget constraints and rising energy costs create daily pressure. From HVAC and lighting to automation and controls, Burrough breaks down where energy is most often wasted and which upgrades deliver the biggest returns. He explains how even small changes, like smarter thermostats or adding wireless controls, can yield measurable savings and extend the life of existing infrastructure.

The episode also tackles common pitfalls like siloed decision-making, overinvesting in underutilized tech, and the importance of internal buy-in. For facility managers, CFOs, and sustainability leads alike, this episode offers a roadmap for aligning efficiency goals with business outcomes—while future-proofing your facility in the process.
