Mapped is the independent data layer for commercial real estate. By automating the discovery, extraction, and normalization of data from building systems, sensors, devices, and vendor APIs, Mapped simplifies the integration process down to a single standardized API. Mapped breaks enterprise data silos to empower building owners, facility operators, and solution providers to rapidly unlock the value of data and drive transformative business outcomes – allowing them to focus on innovation rather than integration.
Mapped started with the idea “what if every built space had an API?” Getting data out of buildings was a complex, time consuming and often manual process - weeks or even months of work. To solve the problem, they created a knowledge graph of people, places and things using machine learning to automate the process of data extraction and identification. They then built a simple, secure and unified API on top; now anything that generates data - devices, sensors, enterprise applications and more - is accessible quickly, easily and securely.
While utilities and policymakers promote “demand flexibility” as a simple way for buildings to cut costs and support the grid, the reality is far messier: siloed systems, manual playbooks, and misaligned incentives make coordination far harder than theory suggests. Emerging solutions—like aggregators handling grid relationships, automation providers standardizing control, and readiness assessments that reveal real system capabilities—are making progress, but success today comes from solving specific pieces of the puzzle rather than achieving full multi-system optimization.
Poor cellular coverage is the number one tenant complaint in many commercial buildings, and DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) is often proposed as the solution. But with costs ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, building owners need to understand what they're really getting. Our panel explores the critical questions every owner should ask before investing in DAS technology in our latest Nexus APAC building owner meetup.
A practical guide for facility managers of small commercial buildings on why choosing the right partner before the product is the key to implementing affordable, simple, and scalable building automation systems.
