We’re the Nexa team- a group of technology innovators at the forefront of a brand-new industry. Think of us as a fast-moving startup, but one that’s housed within and backed by a stable organization that’s led water products manufacturing for 150 years.
What we do is bold, transformational, and essential for the world- and we do it collaboratively and without hierarchy getting in the way. We believe in thinking out loud and in learning continuously, and that the best solutions come from diverse perspectives and open dialogue. We’re a scrappy bunch- everyone here is a doer and has a tangible impact on what we make.
The plumbing and facilities management industries are changing quickly– what we take for granted today will look radically different in just a couple years. Fewer plumbers, increasingly inexperienced facilities managers, accelerated adoption of technology, scarcity of water resources… all point in the same direction: this space is ripe for a revolution.
The Nexa team is on a relentless mission to unlock this revolution, ensuring that plumbers, facilities managers, and building owners and operators are empowered to thrive in this rapidly changing world. Nexa was born and incubated within Watts Water Technologies, a company with 150 years of legacy in the water space that is present across the entire value chain of water in buildings. The Nexa ecosystem is the result of combining Watts’ deep experience in this space with the entrepreneurial spirit of a driven team of enthusiastic technologists.
Our belief is that Nexa will have long-lasting impact that propels the world of commercial water systems into new heights: protecting invaluable assets, managing water systems with unprecedented efficiency, and saving precious water resources. The Intelligent Water Management revolution is here. Will you join us?
Northern Arizona University faced retiring tradespeople and 6,000+ scattered building documents, so the team used generative AI to extract system relationships and organize them into a searchable knowledge graph. The result: faster onboarding and less reliance on tribal knowledge.
CannonDesign watched a BAS access quote climb from $66K to $100K, then brought in an MSI to review the architecture and cut it to $29K.
Northern Arizona University’s CIO realized that aggregating IoT data wasn’t the hard part; relational context was. After choosing buy over build, the team moved from raw BACnet feeds to ontology-driven HVAC control, achieving 30% energy savings.
At LAX, environmental reporting once meant field visits, clipboards, and emailed meter photos. The airport is now connecting 1.2M+ data points and normalizing what already exists to improve compliance and create new sustainability opportunities.
Lincoln Property Company’s Chris Lelle realized that burdened engineers can’t each manage 300,000 sq ft by diving deep into BAS data—so he used FDD to simplify the troubleshooting his techs need to do.
CannonDesign added smart building scope to their office after bids were in, and Div 23/26 partners didn’t understand what “IDL” meant to their scope. They had to redraw Division 25 boundaries and clarify responsibilities to prevent the job from slipping.
