This NexusCon 2025 session features Conor Cleary of Tefiki tackling one of the hardest problems in smart buildings: how to drive real energy and comfort improvements in the 87% of buildings that lack modern controls.

This NexusCon 2025 session dives into Rémy Cointreau’s headquarters in Times Square and how the team tackled energy efficiency without ripping out their entire building stack.

NexusCon 2025’s “Kickstarting Energy Savings” session goes straight after the problem the Untapped 87% white paper laid out: small-to-mid-size buildings are most of the building stock, and most still don’t have real controls or monitoring.

This NexusCon 2025 panel, moderated by Rachel Kennedy (Solutions Engineer, KODE Labs), brings together April Yi (Director, Digital Engineering, Microsoft), Niharika Kishore (Sr. Sustainability Specialist, Amazon), and Thomas Grant (Global Manager of Energy and DTV Energy, Wendy’s) to unpack what “AI for energy management” actually means in practice.

This NexusCon 2025 session dives into how Wendy’s approached AI for energy management in a real-world, high-intensity restaurant environment.

At NexusCon 2025, April Yi, Director of Digital Engineering at Microsoft, walked through how her team is using machine learning to dynamically control HVAC start and stop times across roughly 50 buildings.
