In today’s episode, we’re diving into the world of commercial building retrofits.
We're joined byChristopher Naismith, founder and CEO ofAudette, a decarbonization platform for commercial real estate asset managers.
Audette enables retrofits at scale by bringing data and software to what has traditionally been a manual, building-by-building process, turning it into a data-driven strategy and with the capital plans to make them a reality.
We cover:
- Christopher’s path from civil engineer to startup founder
- Audette’s data-driven approach to building audits
- The spread of building performance standards across cities
- Brown to green capital strategies
- Energy efficiency vs true building decarbonization
- How carbon taxes and fines are creating new financial incentives for building improvements
- Why workflows and business models matter as much as technology

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
