Climate CEOs: Scaling Startups

Energy Equipment Upgrades: 500M+ Sq Ft + SaaS Optimization

18 Feb 2021

Description

Learn how Gridium uses software to modernize office building energy systems, reduce costs, & improve efficiency at scale.Led by CEO Tom Arnold, Gridium aims to reduce the carbon intensity of the built environment with energy efficiency solutions ranging from software optimization to deep retrofits for commercial and industrial real estate providers.Below are two excerpts from the podcast."Gridium is the leading partner for companies looking to navigate the energy transition. We provide useful software that enables companies to manage energy more effectively with the equipment they already have. In the last year, we have expanded our offerings to help companies upgrade their existing equipment to increase operational efficiency while reducing carbon impact. We service about 3,000 commercial buildings and about a half-billion square feet of office space.""If you look at any city in America and see the high-rise apartment or office buildings, you are looking at billion-dollar assets. However, none of these assets, as incredible as it may seem, are credit-rated. If the asset is not credit-rated, you cannot do the typical ESCO model which is needed to finance a retrofit at this scale. We were able to figure out a financial solution that has enabled us to do ten million dollars of deep energy retrofits in the last year or so. I am not talking about 5% energy savings that you might get from our software solution; I am talking about 30%, 40%, or 50% energy savings from a fundamental transformation of the building."Here is the transcript summary of the podcast.--Entrepreneurs for Impact is the only private mastermind community for investor-backed CEOs, founders, and investors fighting climate change.We’re on a mission to help “scale up” climate leaders supercharge their impacts, share best practices, expand their networks, and reach their full potential.Our highly vetted, invite-only cohorts of 11 executives catalyze personal development and business growth via monthly meetings, annual retreats, a member-only Climate Investor Database, and 1:1 coaching and strategy calls.Here are membership benefits, and these are sample members.To request more information on membership, click here.Peer groups are led by Dr. Chris Wedding who brings $1B+ of investment experience, 50,000+ professional students taught, 25 years of meditation, an obsession with constant improvement, and far too many mistakes to keep to himself.
