Upside players earn that equity for gameplay, referrals, even things like helping design brackets inside the app. This social betting app lets its audience play all their games in one place: daily fantasy sports, bracketology, and sportsbook. Upside has partnered with SB Nation, 247Sports/CBS, and Entercom, and their patented NCAA bracket lets players change picks in real-time. Football isn’t the only thing heating up as temperatures drop.   ~/AAQRxQA~/RgRoszvRP0SzaHR0cHM6Ly9yZXB1YmxpYy5jb20vbGV4aXRlY2gyMDI0P3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9cmVwdWJsaWMuY29tJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPWNsb3NpbmcmdXRtX2NvbnRlbnQ9ZDliMjBlOWQtODU1MS00N2EzLWJkMmItM2EwMWE0NzE5N2JhX2FsbCZ1dG1fdGVybT1sZXhpJmxpZD1odzhiaGZtNWJ2Z2lXA3NwY0IKZs_RttBmKF9PlFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAHO [LEXI](~/AAQRxQA~/RgRoszvRP0QyaHR0cHM6Ly9yZXB1YmxpYy5jb20vbGV4aXRlY2gyMDI0P2xpZD0xbHcyYm9hbHdyNWpXA3NwY0IKZs_RttBmKF9PlFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAHO)’s AI automated energy management system is designed to help retrofit older buildings to meet new decarbonization standards. Commercial buildings are a huge contributor to climate change, with 26% of all greenhouse gas emissions coming from the construction and operation of our built environment. According to the UBS Sustainability and Impact Institute, 90% of all commercial buildings will need to be retrofitted. They estimate that $15T will be spent on these projects by 2050.
