Description

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the world of commercial building retrofits.

We're joined byChristopher Naismith, founder and CEO ofAudette, a decarbonization platform for commercial real estate asset managers.

Audette enables retrofits at scale by bringing data and software to what has traditionally been a manual, building-by-building process, turning it into a data-driven strategy and with the capital plans to make them a reality.

We cover:

  • Christopher’s path from civil engineer to startup founder
  • Audette’s data-driven approach to building audits
  • The spread of building performance standards across cities
  • Brown to green capital strategies
  • Energy efficiency vs true building decarbonization
  • How carbon taxes and fines are creating new financial incentives for building improvements
  • Why workflows and business models matter as much as technology
  • Audette’s ambitions as a marketplace for building retrofit solutions
