Podcasts about better buildings challenge

Energy Treasure Hunts can be described as a combination of gemba walks and kaizen events in Lean methodology, with the goal to identify and reduce energy usage in a facility. This is a great approach that combines my passion for process improvement and sustainability. I uploaded a recent webinar I did on Energy Treasure Hunts to AI (NotebookLM), and it generated a fake podcast episode between two robots, which was mind-blowing to hear. I share segments from the "podcast" so you can hear how it sounds. Let me know what you think! In summary, here is how NotebookLM summarized the webinar, which was well-stated: "Energy treasure hunts and programs like the Better Buildings Challenge offer a powerful approach to identifying and implementing energy-saving opportunities. By engaging employees, leveraging data analysis, and fostering collaboration, organizations can achieve significant energy reductions, cost savings, and environmental benefits."

Most Sustainable Stocks & Funds for 2022 Now from the same busines2community.com site, we have the article Best Ethical Investing Stocks to Watch in 2022 by Michael Graw. Here's his selection of companies with some brief comments on each one. “1. Tesla (TSLA) Tesla was kicked out of the S&P 500's ESG stocks index earlier this year. That's because the company receives low scores for its social impact and governance, and Tesla has been criticized for racism and poor work environments. Still, because of Tesla's environmental impacts, many investors still consider it an ethical investment. ESG rating: 91 2. Beyond Meat (BYND) Beyond Meat is a meatless food producer that's reinventing what a veggie burger can be… The fast food chain Mcdonald's decided not to go ahead with Beyond Meat burgers on a wide scale after an initial test, although other fast food chains have adopted Beyond Meat products… Some Wall Street analysts believe Beyond Meat is valued appropriately at its current price. But more bullish analysts suggest the stock could jump to $35 per share, which would represent a gain of nearly 65% from current prices. ESG rating: 47 3. Microsoft (MSFT) The company's goal is to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030, then offset all prior emissions by 2050… Microsoft also prides itself on the company's social impact.

The company donated more than $150 million to cancer research in 2021 and supported more than 140,000 pediatric cancer patients and their families during treatment. More recently, Aflac has also begun giving money towards sickle cell research and patients. Aflac stock is up more than 5% since the start of 2022… The company also pays a dividend yield of 2.61%. ESG rating: 94 5. Enphase Energy (ENPH) This company builds integrated solar panels, batteries, and micro-inverters that can be used to convert large commercial and industrial buildings to solar power. By focusing on the industrial sector, Enphase Energy has somewhat differentiated itself from solar competitors that largely rely on residential solar installations for revenue… Enphase Energy stock has gained 93% over the past year and is currently trading just below its 52-week high. ESG rating: 93 6. Intuit (INTU) The company, which makes software products like TurboTax, Quickbooks, and Mint, has achieved equal gender pay across its organization and is working towards achieving equal pay for minorities… Intuit has also promoted inclusive hiring practices in underserved communities… and investing in ‘Prosperity Hubs' in economically depressed areas.

Waste Management also pays investors a dividend yield of 1.51%. ESG rating: 63 9. Chipotle (CMG) … has made significant efforts to source its ingredients in ways that are local and sustainable. The company has partnerships with thousands of small farmers and buys the majority of its meat products from certified human sources… The downside to this approach, however, is that Chipotle occasionally runs into issues with its supply chain, especially contamination… Chipotle stock is sitting at a 1.3% gain for the year so far and is nearing a 52-week high. ESG rating: 62 10. PepsiCo (PEP) PepsiCo is one of the world's largest producers of bottled water… The company's goal is to put more water back into each of the aquifers it uses as water sources than it takes out of them… The price of PepsiCo stock has been flat to down slightly since the start of the year, but investors can still benefit from the stock's 2.70% dividend yield.

Roger Webb, Lifetime Student of the Restaurant Industry joins Grayson Brulte on The Road To Autonomy Podcast to discuss why the brand is the experience.The conversation begins with Roger sharing the story of how he first met Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy's. Later he shares his experience of when he first joined Wendy's as the company opened its third restaurant.Today there over 6,500 Wendy's around the world and the brand is known and loved by millions of individuals. From the VP of Franchise to a Wendy's franchisee, Roger had an incredible career with Wendy's.Roger was the first Wendy's franchisee to join the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings Challenge in 2016. Before joining the challenge, Roger had a company-wide energy policy.We had a very strict policy, never have a light out. – Roger WebbNever having a light out is part of the experience of going to a restaurant. It's an experience that consumers look for and one that the restaurant industry has to deliver on each and every-time.The experience is the thousands of little things that have to be executed perfectly every time. – Roger WebbExpanding upon the conversation of the little things that make an experience, Grayson and Roger go on to discuss brands and experiences and why they are crucial to the ultimate success of a restaurant.Your brand is the experience. – Roger WebbWith a great brand, the future is bright and scalable if you are innovative and ahead of trends. Taking a look at the future of the restaurant industry, Grayson and Roger discuss the design of restaurants. Will they have to change with the growth of delivery and eventually autonomous delivery via delivery bots such as Nuro.With an increase in delivery services, comes the need for new innovative packaging. Roger shares his thoughts on packaging and what needs to be done to ensure the french fries that arrive at your house are warm and crispy.From drones to autonomous vehicles to delivery cars, the packaging has to be developed for the operating environment. The packaging used in delivery will be different than the packaging used for food picked up at a drive-through.The drive-through is a booming business for the restaurant industry today. Roger explains how the drive-through operates and what the keys to success are for successfully operating one.The drive-throughs of today might not look like the drive-throughs of the future. Chipotle is pioneering their Chipotlanes concept throughout the United States to great success.Chipotlanes are Chipotle's most-profitable experience because of the higher check averages. This raises the question: Is this the future of the restaurant business? Grayson asks Roger and he goes onto say restaurants are always evolving.While restaurants are always evolving they must never stop building their brand equity. This lesson can be traced back to Sam Bronfman, Founder of Distillers Corporation who was always focused on quality and the appearance of his brands.Discounting can impact brand equity in a negative way. Roger explains why discounting is something that should be done with caution.Brand equity is what you do every day, every minute, every hour, and that should be a part of everything that you do when you are building a brand. – Roger WebbLooking at the current trend of Cloud / Ghost Kitchens, Grayson asks Roger how these types of restaurant businesses can develop a brand. Without a brand, customers will be unsure whether to try a new concept that they might never have heard of before.For Cloud / Ghost Kitchen concepts to be successful, they will have to have a brand that customers know, like and trust. A brand combined with a bespoke delivery service and pick-up service will thrive in resort communities.Wrapping up the conversation, Roger discusses delivery fees and the economics of delivery services.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Starting with the Downtown central business district, the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge will unite the public sector with the business and nonprofit communities to implement substantive building upgrades toward the goal of improving participating buildings’ energy and water performance. The effort is underway with a benchmarking initiative for Atlanta's 400-block Downtown area, including the Atlanta Civic Center and other municipal facilities, as well as eventually to include other landmark Downtown buildings. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge aims to support President Obama’s goal of helping businesses save nearly $40 billion annually in energy costs, enabling them to grow, invest in new technology, and create American jobs. Atlanta is proud to be one of the three first-mover cities, along with Seattle and Los Angeles, selected for this important initiative.
