This month Lauren sat down with Bob Boyle, founder and managing director of Y ZERO.

Y ZERO serves building owners, operators and managers as a collaborative team of experienced channel partners, technical analysts and domain specialists. They work across core building resource channels to improve cost control, waste reduction and supply chain reliability

With a focus on trust, transparency and collaboration, they work with their clients, partners and suppliers to source and improve lean supply chain practices, platforms and tools to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Waste (Y) in all its forms (e.g. Energy, CapEx / OpEx, Risk, Time, Material) over time (X) from “current state” or Present Mode of Operation (PMO) toward Y = ZERO — for a leaner, more resilient “future state” or Future Mode of Operation (FMO).
