Grappa, Neural Networks & Smarter Buildings with Giovanni Frezza

🧊 Overview: In this episode of Distilled Building Tech, Jason and AK welcome Giovanni Frezza, Head of Smart Building at Molex. What starts with a tasting and history of grappa quickly evolves into a compelling discussion on the future of smart buildings, AI-driven optimization, IT/OT convergence, and the changing role of facilities management. From physics labs in Rome to the forefront of digital infrastructure, Giovanni brings a unique, data-informed perspective to how we shape the built environment. 🍇 Grappa & Origins Giovanni shares his love for grappa, Italy’s post-wine distilled spirit. AK and Jason scramble to find their best substitutes. Discussion of varietals, aging, and cultural context. 🧪 From Physics to Facilities Giovanni’s early career in theoretical physics and neural networks (studied under Nobel laureate Giorgio Parisi). Transition to semiconductors and leading Molex’s Smart Building division. 🏢 The Smart Building Imperative Origin of Molex’s CoreSync platform and early collaboration with Cisco. Four core value drivers: Energy efficiency & carbon neutrality Predictive maintenance Occupant wellness & comfort Data-driven optimization 🤖 AI & Automation in the Built World LLMs help simplify complex building systems for FMs and stakeholders. Edge ML enables behavior modeling and real-time insights. Comparison to autonomous vehicles—buildings are becoming adaptive, not just automated. 🧑‍💼 New Roles, New Realities The rise of the AI-native facility manager. Skills shift as experienced FMs retire and systems grow more complex. AI as a tool—not a replacement—for human decision-making. 🌐 IT/OT Convergence Why networked power (PoE) is key to infrastructure design. Successful projects require early collaboration between IT, OT, HR, and real estate. The future is unified racks, segmented networks—like the evolution from legacy telephony to VoIP. 🔗 Learn More: Visit molexcs.com [https://molexcs.com/] to explore the CoreSync platform.
