Novant unifies building data into a single, independent data layer (IDL) that integrates live BAS signals with static asset and space information. Their platform makes buildings machine-readable, scalable, and easier to manage across portfolios.
A radically simple, self-serve platform that puts you back in control. Whether you’re managing a single site or an entire campus, Novant brings all of your building systems and data into one unified, user-friendly platform. No vendor silos. No waiting months to get started. No paying for vendor startup costs again and again.
Our take after reviewing the product demo:
Novant delivers an independent data layer (IDL) purpose-built for the built environment. By combining real-time BAS data with design documentation, static asset records, and space information, Novant creates a comprehensive, machine-readable model of a building. Their distributed edge nodes securely connect to the cloud, enabling rapid scaling and simplified deployment through reusable “source maps.” With CSV import tools, mass manipulation features, REST API integrations, and native plugins, Novant streamlines how system integrators, service providers, and building owners manage complex portfolios. The result is a unified foundation for smarter operations, reduced complexity, and future-ready building applications.
Rosy Khalife, James Dice, and Brad Bonavida (Nexus Labs) kicked off NexusCon 2025 by explaining why the industry keeps cycling through disconnected priorities—BAS, energy, space utilization, health, decarb, cybersecurity—and why that fragmentation is now the real blocker to progress.
This NexusCon 2025 presentation dives into how QuadReal is digitally enabling a growing multifamily portfolio by centralizing building operations and integrating tenant-facing technologies.
This NexusCon 2025 presentation brings together Joseph Allen, Director of the Harvard Healthy Buildings Program, and McClure Kelly, Senior Managing Director at Beacon Capital. They walk through how wildfire smoke became an indoor health problem—and why buildings, not people, are the first line of defense.
JJ Baird, VP at Airthings, walks through how leading organizations are using indoor environmental quality (IEQ) data to actually improve occupant health—without defaulting to “more ventilation” or over-relying on the BMS.
