In this episode of The Climate Gap: Quick Cuts, Ben Muwoki interviews Andy Frank, founder of Novant and a 25-year veteran of smart-building tech. Andy argues that most smart-building failures aren’t technical; they’re human. We chase dashboards and pilots but skip coordination, outcomes, and the basic question: Why are we doing it this way?
