Novant: Independent Data Layer for Smarter Buildings

Finally, control is back in your hands.

Data Layer: IDL
Data Layer

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.

Company bio

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.
