Good to see you again. There's a lot going on in wind right now. Obviously the elections that happy the United States are changing the way that a lot of US based operators are thinking about their turbines and, and particularly their blades. I've noticed over the last, even just couple of weeks that. Operators and the engineers are paying more attention to what they're actually getting on site. Nicholas Gaudern: Yes. Allen Hall: Instead of, uh, the sort of the full service agreement where, hey, they're under warranty for two years, I don't really need to do anything for a little while approach. That's changing into, I want to know what arrives on site, what am I getting and what problems are there with these particular blades that I may not know about because they're new to me. Even though these blades, there may be thousands of these blades out in service. Mm-hmm. Me, my company doesn't know. Yep. How they operate. How they perform, particularly at this, this new site, I'm Repowering or, [00:01:00] or building new. That is a complete shift. From where it was a year ago, two years ago, five years ago. Yeah. And I think the biggest performance piece that people are looking at is aerodynamics, and I'm trying to understand how these blades perform, how they move. Yes. What kind of loads there are, what kind I expect over the next year or two. And I think they're just becoming now aware of maybe I need to have a game plan. Nicholas Gaudern: Mm-hmm. Allen Hall: And I, and that's where power curve comes in, is like in the sense of have a king plan. Understand what these plates are all about. Yeah, yeah. And try to characterize 'em early rather than later. Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, exactly. I think there's been an increased focus on, on data and for operators, as you say, to understand more what they're getting and not necessarily relying on just what they're told. So, uh, I think a nice case study of that is last year we were helping a customer to build a, a digital twin. Uh, of one of their turbine models that they, that they purchased. So what that involved [00:02:00] is, uh, going to site, doing a laser scan of a blade, understanding geometry, helping them to build up some aerodynamic and structural models of that blade. So then that customer was going to build an AEL model themselves of that turbine so that they could run load calculations. They could look at, uh, site specific, uh, changes that could be relevant to that turbine's configuration or how they operated it. And this isn't really something that you saw a lot of, uh, a few years ago, but I think it's great that operators, particularly when they have a larger engineering capacity, are starting to get into that game. Uh, and it's tough because it's a lot of what the OEMs do, it's their kind of specialist knowledge, but there's a lot of smart people out there. Uh, there's a lot of companies you can work with to help gather that data and build these products up. Allen Hall: The OEMs right now are. Lowering the number of engineers. Nicholas Gaudern: Mm-hmm. Allen Hall: Staff reductions. Yeah. Uh, so getting a hold of somebody on the engineering staff, particularly with aerodynamics, can be quite hard.

The Smart Buildings Academy Podcast | Teaching You Building Automation, Systems Integration, and Information Technology

This episode of the Smart Buildings Academy Podcast focuses on a key factor affecting building performance and operational cost: the building operator. If energy costs remain high despite efficient equipment, or tenant complaints persist after BAS upgrades, the problem may lie in overlooked operational practices. This episode examines how operator actions directly influence energy use, system performance, and downtime. Designed for professionals managing facility systems and operations, the episode highlights what separates underperforming buildings from optimized ones. Topics include: The impact of trained operators on building efficiency and cost savings Core skills operators need beyond system knowledge The role of alarms, overrides, and scheduling in energy waste Common gaps in trend analysis and setpoint management Approaches to developing operator skills and accountability If your building still is not performing the way it should, this episode will help you start asking the right questions.

We sit down with Aaron Frazier, Vice President of Public Policy at the National Restaurant Association, to discuss the pending tax bill, reconciliation, and what operators should expect at the end of the process. And Republicans across the country seem to be taking aim at voter-passed initiatives on minimum wage and paid leave among other issues. The problem is that despite large majorities in Florida, Missouri and Nebraska, they have been stymied. We'll discuss why that is happening and if Republicans are ultimately pivoting on key business model issues. We'll talk about those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.

When the COVID-era short-term rental boom hit, a new class of creators quietly redefined hospitality marketing — and today, three of the best in the business join me for a conversation you won't want to miss. In this episode, I sit down with Hayden Hughes, Nicky Hughes, and Mike Iannetta — three pioneers who helped transform treehouses, A-frames, and glamp-sites from hidden gems into viral, booked-out brands. We unpack how they redefined marketing in the short-term rental world, where the future of creator-driven hospitality is headed next, and why they've partnered to launch a new guided course to help hospitality brands partner with the right creators. We get into it: Why short-form video changed everything for independent operators What still actually works on social today — and why trends alone won't save you Why UGC (user-generated content) isn't enough anymore — and what's replacing it The hidden burnout creators are facing, and how the next generation of hospitality marketing will be built differently The big opportunity no one's talking about (yet) for boutique hotels and micro-resorts How the best operators are thinking differently about working with influencers And why creators who want to build real businesses are starting to think beyond content You'll also hear the story behind the Journey More Collective, a potential new playbook for scaling authentic creator-driven marketing and get all the details on the value of The STR Influencer Guide Hayden, Nikki, and Mike just released.  If you're an operator wondering how to actually work with creators (the right way) — or a creator dreaming about building a business with staying power — this one's for you.  Oh, and if you're interested in accessing The STR Influencer Guide for Operators, you can do so in the show notes below!

Operators are seeing growing demand for meeting rooms and private call space—but squatting, no-shows, and friction-filled booking systems continue to cost time and revenue. James Shannon and Kurt Patrick from Essensys join the podcast to share how they're tackling those pain points with Elumo, a new product that simplifies access, booking, and billing in one smart, user-friendly system. In this conversation, we cover: The real cost of squatting and how much revenue is lost from underutilized shared space. Why Essensys built Elumo and how it's solving both revenue leakage and poor user experience. How Elumo uses Apple and Google Wallet integration to streamline access and eliminate the friction of traditional booking systems. The role of dynamic pricing and data-driven utilization in maximizing revenue from shared spaces. How Elumo works with (not against) your existing tech stack, including OfficeRnD and other booking platforms. If you've ever wondered how to monetize your meeting rooms without creating more headaches for your community managers, this episode is for you.
