Welcome back to the Building Hotrodder's podcast! We are opening Season 2 by discussing what it means to hotrod a building. We discuss the origin of our podcasts name, take a dive into what hot-rodding really is, and how the roots of hot-rodding come into play with todays facilities. This is a very long overdue discussion that we are excited to have with our listeners.

Some key takeaways from the episode are:

• Building hot-rodding has many similarities with car hot-rodding. Some hot-rodding tasks can be simple, while others should only be done by professionals.
• A key aspect of hot-rodding is having an end goal in mind before you start. By clearly defining facility performance requirements such as energy conservation, redundancy in critical systems, reliability, etc., hotrodders can develop a tailored approach to ensure a "hot-rodded" building preforms as specified.

Tune in to hear more about these key takeaways/others and let us know your thoughts in the comments! For more information on us check out our webpages:
