CRE Inefficiencies Create a Booming Data Business with Connell Mcgill, CEO of Enertiv

Commercial real estate is not known for operational efficiency across the board. It's estimated that buildings often operate at 70% efficiency. Think about how expensive that ends up being—not including maintenance costs—which are both often considered fixed and unavoidable expenses. In a world of compressing cap rates and constricting legislation around climate change, operators have to make a change.

This opens the door for technology to improve operational efficiencies and increase financial performance.

Connell McGill, CEO of Enertiv joins Tech Nest to discuss the complicated challenges of implementing a building's operational data dashboard and why it's so important. We're not just talking about saving a few hundred dollars on HVAC expenses.

We're talking about unnecessary energy consumption. CRE is estimated to consume 40% of all global energy. This is expediting the urgency to find solutions and the tailwind of this means a booming businesses, like Enertiv, that can monitor use and provide actionable data to improve efficiencies and meeting regulatory demands.
