Reframe

Real conversations at the intersection of buildings, energy, compliance, and climate.

The built environment is one of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions — but for the people who work in it every day, that's not just a problem. It's an opportunity. Reframe is a podcast about what it actually takes to make buildings better: the policies driving change, the technology making it possible, and the people leading the way.

Each episode, host Jeff Nichols sits down with practitioners, policymakers, and industry executives for candid, no-fluff conversations about building performance, decarbonization, and what's actually happening on the ground. Jeff brings over two decades of experience in technology and business — including time at Microsoft and Armanino — and a genuine curiosity that makes even the most technical topics feel worth your commute.

Are you a leader, innovator, or expert working at the intersection of buildings, energy, and sustainability? We'd love to hear from you. Reach out to the Reframe team at [email protected].
