🎧 #198: Pressure Testing the HVAC Sequence Optimization Playbook with University of California Energy Experts
Episode 198
Monday, 8 June, 2026

This episode puts the Nexus Labs HVAC Sequence Optimization Playbook to the test with energy leaders from University of California, San Francisco Health and University of California, Santa Cruz. Together, they explore what it really takes to reduce HVAC energy consumption, combat operational drift, and maintain occupant comfort across complex building portfolios. The discussion walks through the playbook’s phases—from setup and pilot projects to scaling and sustaining optimization programs over time. Along the way, they share practical lessons on controls infrastructure, measurement and verification, team structure, and continuous improvement. It’s a candid look at how real-world energy managers are turning HVAC optimization into a repeatable, long-term operational strategy.
