1—New Website & Features

Let us know what you think!

2—Newsletter & Podcast
The podcast is on hold while we take a little break for creative refresh and finding a new producer.
My highlights for those of you that are short on time:
- On the pod, we covered Living Buildings with Lindsay Baker, CRE Market Talks #2 with Joe and Mandi, and Occupancy Data + Leak Detection with Kilroy Realty.
- On the blog, we finished the 5 part series on The Humans of Smart Buildings and officially launched our new Partner Program. Next we launched two new monthly columns: Insights to Operations & The Decarb Roadmap.
- We launched a new speaker database for conference organizers. Apply to be added if you'd like more opportunities to speak at conferences.
- Nexus t-shirts!
