About this listen
Buildings are under pressure – not just to decarbonize, but to collaborate with the grid in ways they never have before.
In this special solo-hosted episode, Joe Aamidor welcomes Jake Elder, research lead at Energy Impact Partners (EIP), for a deep dive into the “Electric Utility Gauntlet.” As grid operators face mounting stress from AI-driven data centers, manufacturing growth, and electrification, the need for demand-side innovation is now urgent.
Jake unpacks how smart buildings must evolve: not by ripping out legacy BAS systems, but by building smarter layers on top. He shares findings from EIP’s research into building automation startups and highlights overlooked asset classes where real value can be unlocked – including cold storage, multifamily, and data centers.
From AI in autonomous control to utilities sending pricing signals to buildings, this episode maps the next 5 years of disruption in climate tech and commercial real estate.
