FPP & Future-proof Portfolios - Jeremy Richmond

What is it that Proptech is missing? What does the future of Smart Buildings look like? What is the alignment between Rate of Innovation and Return on Investment? “…If I build you a BI dashboard, I shouldn't have to explain to you what's on it … …We start to see that fault detection is starting to go away on that bleeding edge and is being replaced with ML models, which are then going to be replaced with just deep learning…” What is the mindset that is needed to drive change and get things going in the real estate industry? We learned about the importance of having a foundation of Connectivity in the last phenomenal episode with Joe Gaspardone. But, when you have the Foundation of Connectivity, what then? What happens with all the data? How to make sense of it in a modern way that is replicable, scalable, and as future-proof as can be? That’s what you will find out in this episode! “We have a strange business model that we try to replace our own services.“ To say that Jeremy Richmond has been all over the Real Estate Industry is probably an understatement. He is now the director of business development for DB engineering, where DB Engineering is a smart building consulting firm that specializes in delivering value from data to end clients. We get to listen to Jeremy telling us his origin story of having joined the Navy at an early age and fixed everything that moved and had a wire to it. You will hear the amazing Jeremy Richmond talk about the buzzword bingo in a way that most people talk about eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s machine learning, ontologies, Github repositories, deep learning, and Artificial Intelligence, 3D printing, which usually are in the hype-cycle territory for most. Jeremy has made those tools into something that’s port of the toolbox. This is an extraordinary podcast episode where we get to understand how Jeremy helps portfolio owners go from quick wins to operational excellence at scale. It continues from where we left off in the last episode and moves into the operational side of ontologies. And how real-estate stakeholders can create value in a sustainable way. This episode is definitely one that you can’t miss and it will accelerate and/or validate your knowledge on where the future is heading for everyone!
