Let's connect over something I've been hearing a lot lately. Picture this: small business owners like you and me, bustling through their days, juggling tasks, and feeling like they're stuck in the trenches. Sound familiar? Trust me, you're not alone.I've been chatting with owners of businesses bringing in over a million dollars annually, with teams of ten or more. Whether they're in trades like contractors, HVAC, electricians, plumbers, service repair companies, or professional services like accountants, attorneys, and financial planners, their struggles are remarkably similar. From constant interruptions to the nagging feeling that their business relies too heavily on them, the frustrations are real.They also have the same challenges around managing employees, measuring work, their time, and how they allot their time. It's all really similar frustrations around the fact that they are always in the trenches, doing work that they have paid someone else to do, frazzled by the constant interruptions from employees and clients.But here's the good news: it doesn't have to be this way. Last time, we talked about systems and processes. Today, it's all about workflows and automation—the keys to unlocking your time and reclaiming your sanity.Get your Revenue Goal Calculator - https://theboldleadershiprevolution.com/revenue-goal-calculator

Many factors are taken into account when designing a building, including the energy performance. Architects have the opportunity to work hand in hand with collaborators who specialize in monitoring and predicting energy efficiency, and vice versa. Through these collaborations, energy modeling is able to evaluate the physics of heat transfer in buildings and how energy performance varies in certain conditions. Welcome to the inaugural season of Architecture 5 10 20! I'm your host, Guy Geier, Managing Partner of FXCollaborative Architects in New York. Guests from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences related to the built environment will come to share their thought leadership. Our conversations will start with understanding how they arrived at what they're doing now. More importantly, we will focus on discussing their vision for the future, looking out 5, 10, and 20 years. Today, we're joined by Dan Nall, an expert and consultant in energy modeling and energy efficiency in buildings. Dan has been in this field since 1977 and has seen the evolution of materials, technologies, and strategies that optimize building energy performance. He has extensive knowledge in computer analysis and computational fluid dynamics after years of major projects in the industry. Listen to Dan speak about how building efficiency and decarbonization have become ever more critical to the future of the built environment. He recalls the technologies from earlier in his career, then shares his experiences on how this field has progressed over the years. Later on he gives his suggestions for architects, engineers, building owners, and building operators to work together and achieve the best possible outcomes based on his previous collaborations. Dan's career in building energy efficiency is an inspiring reminder of how far we have come in our energy modeling capabilities, energy conservation strategies, materials, and technological innovations. His insights regarding the current and future states of the industry remind us how much we still have to achieve and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in making meaningful progress.

As CEO of GridPoint, Mark Danzenbaker believes that energy efficiency can be harnessed to make the power grid more sustainable and resilient.  GridPoint does this by installing energy optimization hardware in mid-sized commercial buildings that are often overlooked by efficiency programs. GridPoint works with corporations that have many sites across the country and provides real time data on savings and energy consumption for a client's portfolio of buildings.  As their reach has expanded, the network of buildings GridPoint serves has become an important way to partner with utilities to manage energy demand during heat waves and other periods of high energy use. In this episode, Hilary Langer talks with Mark about how GridPoint engages clients both in front of and behind the meter to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable grid.  Links:GridPointMark Danzenbaker LinkedInCanary Media: “Goldman Sacs and Shell bet $75M that chain stores can boost grid resiliency” Episode recorded: July 6, 2022

8:12 - Arman: Building codes are moving towards being very software centric, meaning if you want to get your building in compliance with codes you need to use a variety of software tools. This is common practice for many construction industry professionals but for energy, this is new. So there is this significant need for software that can make innovation in the building sector possible, primarily focused on building efficiency.9:35 - Arman: Our focus right now is to make it really easy for builders, renovators, home owners, etc. to get an idea of how their home is performing and how they could make it more energy efficient. 10:10 - Arman: Over the last few years, this has turned into a very beneficial service with information about costing, carbon data, and lots of building technologies and assemblies.11:30 - Arman: Buildings are one of the most important areas that we need to all be focusing on from a carbon emissions reduction standpoint. Breakthrough Energy Ventures, which is a body trying to make macro-level change in the climate, looked at the five biggest sectoral challenges in the climate fight and those are manufacturing, transportation, electricity, agriculture and buildings and the only sector that had an easier time transitioning to the greener economy is buildings and that's because with buildings, you're already saving money when you're greening your building. And this concept is called the green premium. If you want to make a product in a greener fashion you might have to pay 10 or 20% more but for buildings, we're already past that threshold. For buildings, it is already more cost effective to improve energy efficiency in buildings than it is to leave them as they are. The real challenge isn't the technologies or the economics of the situation - it is the market perception and the inertia of the market. Very often when I talk about these things with educational partners I really feel that I'm trying to sell a website to people who don't know what a computer is. You have to first explain to them what the technology is. And it might not create that lightbulb moment in the first interaction. The conversation is continuous. We really need to start normalizing the fact that energy efficient buildings aren't here because we just haven't done it yet. 14:45 - Tony: Trying to change the minds of engineers and builders around the world to trust plastic, and especially recycled plastic, instead of always using concrete or brick, that is difficult. Education ends up reducing cost. But it is also my greatest challenge right now. 19:55 - Arman: A lot of people look at something like the Canadian Greener Homes Grant and see just $5000 but what I see is intent and one more tool that we can have in our toolbox to make homes more energy efficient. And that can really change things. One of the major factors in any new build is, how much is this going to cost. And every little bit really counts. You will not only see reduced energy costs with a retrofit but you will see an increase in the value of the home, for example. When the housing market is also so intense, these sorts of grants really start to make a difference in peoples' calculation of whether to invest in changes to improve efficiency. 

This week the chefs at Sustainable Overload sit down to discuss the all too important reach code. We've heard a lot about them as more and more cities adopt electrification ordinances. This episode we dive deep with someone who writes them for a living and helps make building codes more sustainable in the process. This is an incredibly important topic, and we are honored to have her in studio to discuss her work and what it means moving forward. Misti Bruceri has been working in the energy efficiency industry for over 25 years. She is the principal and owner of Misti Bruceri & Associates, an independent consulting firm. She currently spends the majority of her time working on the Energy Codes and Standards program, which is funded by utility customers through the State's utilities. The Codes and Standards program works with State and local agencies to establish building codes that advance energy efficiency, renewable energy, and decarbonization goals. The program also works across the design and construction industry to improve compliance with the code. Misti is the Coordinator for the Reach Codes arm of the program, working with cities and counties to facilitate the adoption of local energy codes. California's energy codes have been credited with reducing energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and energy bills.  The codes have been credited with keeping the State's per capita energy use flat since the 1970's while the economy has grown by 80%.https://netorgft5264188.sharepoint.com/sites/forwarddiningsolutions.com/Shared%20Documents/Forward%20Dining%20Solutions/Sustainable%20Overload/Podcast/Episode%20Audio/Season%202/Episode%20205%20-%20Misti%20Bruceri/Episode%20Description%20205%20Misti%20Bruceri.docx#_ftn1 ([1]) https://joinfoody.com/forwarddiningsolutionsllc (Chef Christopher Galarza (joinfoody.com)) https://www.collaborativedesign.org/get-the-guide-bdpg (Building Decarbonization Practice Guide — The William J.

-Peter Van Der Gracht, senior advisor at Alacrity Canada, talks to Mohammad Akhlaghi of Plugzio and Christopher Naismith of Audette about their platforms and how they make use of energy consumption data-what is a day in the life of an entrepreneur like and what are some of the surprises that have popped up along the way?-being "a hacker, a hustler, and a hipster" as an entrepreneur-saving energy as being a small part of functioning within a job or community-"entrepreneurship is jumping off an airplane and building a parachute on the way down" and the love/hate relationship with entrepreneurship as a job; failures are huge, but the successes feel amazing-saving energy is about saving money; in a startup you're either saving someone money or making someone money-energy ecosystem is changing very rapidly throughout the world and there is so much opportunity-how data around energy usage is used in Plugzio and Audette as platforms-data brings businesses out of darkness and acts as a feedback mechanism-the primary job of a building is to keep people comfortable; how layers of energy efficiency can be designed into buildings-the digital information gathered over the past 10 years in this space has matured and allowed the technology to advance, but the processes around this sector have not yet advanced-pulling in large building data to identify and display the best opportunities for improvement in energy usage-how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted their businesses, especially when focused on customers that have office buildings or other shared spaces-incentives for delivering money into the energy management space has been "business as usual," especially in institutional buildings and spaces-because of COVID, there is a huge trend in people buying electric mobility vehicles like bicycles and scooters-how these two companies go to market and find customers; the role of channel partners-how utilities and governments play a role in energy efficiency programs; incentives versus processes-how utilities can manage micropower; incentives as very effective, but for the wrong reasons-increasing awareness about energy consumption is good, but incentives are being allocated to people who don't need it-accessing financing for these companies; how government funding programs help-different entrepreneurial journeys to found these companies and platforms; learning from past experiences to develop the businesses-the next milestones for Audette and Plugzio-the future is not just about electric cars; increasing awareness around electric mobility - bikes, scooters, etc. - as the bigger picture-misconceptions around fast charging; different machines than gas vehicles so approach needs to be different as well-at the precipice of a huge investment event in energy usage and cleantech-the technology is there, the processes aren't quite there yet

Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar "Building Efficiency with Google Forms" with special guest presenter, Jenn Judkins, August 19, 2017. There are so many awesome things we can do with Google Forms in our classrooms, and we are really excited to have Jennifer Judkins, a Google guru, joining us as our special guest presenter for this webinar to share some possibilities you may not have realized. Webinar description: Learn how to reduce inefficient, paper-based workflows using Google Forms and Add-Ons so more time can be spent doing value-added work with kids. In this session, we will highlight the use of the formMule and formRanger Add-Ons by creating a basic discipline referral system. In the example workflow we will demonstrate how teachers can use Google Forms to report student behavior issues, which will then trigger automatic email notification to school administrators.
