Season 2 kicks off with Dave Ray — sustainability & ESG strategist and longtime leader in Nevada’s green building community.
Dave breaks down the gap between sustainability intent and operational follow-through, and why the best “sustainability” strategy often starts with the basics: understanding your data, aligning teams, and treating efficiency like a long-term investment discipline.
In this episode:
- Why code compliance & certifications are often just the minimum
- The overlooked power of benchmarking energy + water
- How organizations miss incentives (and why you should check every year)
- Why software dashboards fail without data verification + ownership
- The fastest mindset shift: walk your building when it’s occupied AND unoccupied
Guest: Dave Ray
Host: Marcus Hazelwood
Subscribe to Clear Haze Exchange for Season 2 as we explore the hidden systems, blind spots, and perspectives shaping sustainable investment and facility decisions.
