Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Airflow Optimization and Carbon Reduction with Thrive Buildings’ Dan Diehl
Q: What should building owners do first to make progress on decarbonization?
Begin with a portfolio assessment to identify building types and high-energy concentrations, then gather and review electricity and gas spend data, and finally evaluate opportunities like demand response and peak-load management to reduce costs while advancing decarbonization.
Airflow Optimization and Carbon Reduction with Thrive Buildings’ Dan Diehl
Q: So, how does airflow optimization fit into the broader picture here?
Airflow optimization is central to reducing base load and targeting the largest energy spend, particularly in critical environments; it builds on an efficiency-first mindset and tends to deliver strong ROI across diverse building types, from offices to clean rooms.
Supply Chain Resilience Strategies with Gallagher’s Bridget Choi
Q: Can you tell me a little bit more about the standard certifications when assessing risk?
SOC 2 Type 2 is highlighted as a strong indicator of controls over time, with ISO 27001 noted as robust though typically a point-in-time assessment; pen testing results are useful evidence but not foolproof, and smaller vendors may not have all certifications.
Inside Smart, Futureproofed Workplaces with Cisco’s Bob Cicero
Q: What's one thing that building owners and managers can do today to get ready for some of these big shifts we've been talking about?
Building owners need to focus on leveraging tenant data to improve operational profiles and think about technology not as a cost center, but as an experience and sustainability delivery vehicle.
FM and the Workplace Experience with ISS’ Osama Aduib
Q: What role does the facility manager play in motivating more frequent in-person work?
The facility manager needs to prioritize the workplace experience and design from the inside out, ensuring individuals feel welcomed and understood.
