This NexusCon 2025 presentation walks through how Hudson Pacific Properties partnered with McDonnell-Miller and Clockworks Analytics to turn a struggling asset into a compliant, lower-EUI building.
Reed Powell (Operations Manager, McDonnell-Miller), Todd Sparrow (Director of Portfolio Engineering, Hudson Pacific Properties), and James Donahue (VP of Customer Success, Clockworks Analytics) break down how they rebuilt an FDD program after multiple failed attempts. The focus is a Washington State office asset facing EUI penalties, complex tenant loads, and years of accumulated operational drift. The story centers on how service providers, owners, and analytics teams actually worked together once the tool was embedded into day-to-day operations.
Behind the paywall, youâll hear what went wrong with earlier âblack boxâ FDD deploymentsâand why rules-based noise nearly killed internal buy-in. The presenters unpack how a service-embedded model changed outcomes: cleaner fault output, faster analyst workflows, and real fixes tied into monthly and quarterly operating cadences. Youâll learn how dozens of small correctionsâoverrides, stuck dampers, bad sensorsâadded up to a meaningful EUI drop that got the building under regulatory targets. This recording is especially relevant for owners and FMs whoâve tried FDD before, gave up, and want to understand what actually makes it stick at scale.
