Uptime Without Authority: Monitoring Critical Equipment Across a Leased Portfolio
What do you do about critical equipment when you don't control the building? Across a leased portfolio of more than 70 sites, NRG's facilities team had no BMS access and no authority over HVAC.
Shane Leonard (Sr. Manager, Facilities, NRG Energy) and Liam Bates (CEO, Kaiterra) walk through how an unfunded assignment became a program. It started with a 30-day, cellular, self-installed pilot at a 125,000 sq ft headquarters. It scaled to 12 buildings once the team reframed the use case away from occupant comfort, which no one would fund, and toward landlord accountability and IT-closet equipment risk.
