Dermot Sweeny, founder and partner of Sweeny&Co, and Aiden Sweeny, Vice President, Development and Acquisitions, Six Developments, joined host Nico Johnson on Episode 968 of SunCast to talk about why proven building technology is often slow to reach the market. Drawing on more than 7 million square feet of Sweeny&Co work, they explain how the firm tests ideas in real buildings before asking clients to take the risk, and how a 2 to4% increase in upfront cost can cut energy costs by 30 to 50%. The conversation covers underfloor air distribution, daylighting, building-integrated solar and wastewater heat recovery. They also explain why occupant comfort and lower operating costs add real estate value.
