1 hour 6 minutes Posted Mar 4, 2021 at 11:00 am.
“The more time we spend going to answer a hot/cold call, the less time we spend taking care of key issues and making sure the facilities really runs right. And you can't send a person around fast enough to check all the things that your technology solution can check. It's just not even practical to think of all the different things… So there is a huge payback for every single person that tries to do monitoring-based commissioning. It hasn't really failed yet… Um, I'll go back on that. Failure points are if you do nothing with the data.”–Jeremy Macdonald My HighlightsWhy buildings are so far behind: mixed up incentives
