Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Digital Buildings: Process Not Product
Q: What is the topic that matters hugely for MEP consultants when a project includes a smart building scope?
The biggest challenge is moving from siloed systems to an integrated ecosystem; focus on use cases first, align on data naming (ontologies), and ensure early engagement to define what success looks like before choosing technologies.
From Design to Delivery: ESG in Engineering Decisions
Q: Let's bring it back and let's just start with what is ESG? Does ESG look the same for everyone?
ESG is a framework for making more responsible, transparent, and future‑focused decisions, and while it differs by role and industry, the core thread is accountability and data‑driven reporting so that decisions are made transparently.
