Welcome back to Peak Property Performance, where we explore the evolving landscape of commercial real estate and how to make your properties more resilient, efficient, and future-ready. In this episode, co-host Bill Douglas sits down with Jan Huisman from Schneider Electric, a thought leader at the forefront of digital transformation in the built environment.

The conversation covers everything from the often-overlooked architecture of building management systems, the challenge of integrating siloed data, and the growing importance of electrification amidst grid capacity constraints.
You’ll also hear valuable insights on why sustainability and profitability can, and should go hand in hand, practical steps for beginning your property’s digital journey without a full overhaul, and how change management shapes successful adoption of new technology.
