If you're committed to scaling up energy efficiency or decarbonizing the built environment, it's crucial to understand the transformative potential of industrialized construction. Twenty years ago, I began my career in renewable energy as a manufacturer and research leader. By the end of the first decade, it became clear to me that the core challenge was adoption. This realization shifted my focus toward industrialized construction. While inventing ClimateTech solutions and securing VC investments are important, without a clear pathway to market, these innovations can't achieve widespread adoption and thus fail to make a significant impact. Industrialized Construction offers that essential pathway. It bridges the gap between innovative technologies and practical implementation, ensuring that advancements in energy efficiency and decarbonization are realized on a large scale. How do you see industrialized construction shaping the future of energy efficiency and decarbonization? 🤔 #IndustrializedConstruction #SustainableBuilding #ClimateTech Ken Semler Gary Fleisher Audree Grubesic Doug Tollin, Steve Burrows Daniel Small, Jennifer Castenson Ben Hershey Jordie Puchinger Andrew Seelye Rob Howard Gary Eagleton Ed Dunn Matthew Comber, John Lefkus III Bob Bender Dan Wies Charles Leahy Tom Hardiman, Jason Blenker Steve Dubin Merrick Macomber Vamsi Kumar Kotla Anthony Gude, Tom Stacy Jaren Grady Paul Richards Diego Rivera John Fay Mark Hurst Eric Scott Greg Otto Charlie Sights Matt McMullen Matthew Bowe Michael Couture
