Energy Experiences and Powder Watts with Thomas Clardy

On this episode, we welcome Thomas Clardy from Powder Watts. Powder Watts is a technological solution that helps to manage the energy expenditures associated with heating coils on roofs, which are meant to melt snow and ice to prevent roof damage. But beyond that, this product is part of a broader strategy to help direct wasted energy into powering artificial intelligence. We talk about how regional and national competitiveness is linked to AI, and how energy infrastructure is lagging behind. We explore how to change behaviors through technological interfaces, and framing how outcomes have larger benefits. And we talk about how The Matrix may have been more of a documentary than a Sci-Fi film.

This is experience by design, a podcast that brings new perspectives to the experiences we have everyday. Does standing in line always have to suck? Why are airports so uncomfortable? What does it mean to be loyal to a brand? Why do you love being connected but dislike feeling tethered to your smart phone? Can we train people to care about the climate? Join Sociologist Gary David and Anthropologist Adam Gamwell on an expedition to the frontiers of culture and business through the lens of human experience. We're here to make sense of the madness with leading psychologists, cognitive and social scientists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders.
