Are we optimizing teh wrong line item with Shahar Peleg.

In this episode of The Climate Gap: Quick Cuts, Ben Muwoki sits down with Shahar Peleg, a veteran product and innovation leader in the smart building and IoT space.

Shahar’s view: corporate real estate keeps optimising the wrong line item.

Energy savings are easy to measure, but people and space drive far greater impact on performance, retention, and the bottom line.

We dig into:

- People + Real Estate = True Cost Drivers: Why energy is the smallest line item, yet gets the most attention.

- Gut Feelings ≠ Strategy: why so many workplace decisions are still made on instinct, not insight, and how to fix that.

- Flexibility Over Fixed Costs: What happens when contracts and space usage react dynamically to data?

- Agility as a Mindset: Why real estate teams need to think more like product teams, test, iterate, and act fast.

- From Cost Centre to Performance Driver: How data-driven flexibility can cut costs and improve productivity.
