Hey!
Welcome to Nexus. I’m glad you made it. Let me introduce you to the site. If you just want to get the gist, here’s the TL;DR:
If you’re still curious, below you’ll find answers to these questions:
Thanks for being here!
If you’re like us, you’ve been wanting more unbiased, in-depth content on the smart buildings industry. How is the industry changing and where is it going? Which new technology products are hype and which are disruptive? We’ve learned it takes a lot of time to wade through marketing pitches, research papers, and shallow articles to find the signal in the noise.
That’s why we started Nexus in 2019—and why many of our members have joined. Since then, however, Nexus’ goals have grown in scope. Now we’re asking questions like: What’s holding the industry back and how can we move it forward faster? And you can join us in our quest.
We send one free newsletter per week on Tuesday mornings and produce a weekly podcast. Here are some of the most popular editions and episodes:
To receive the weekly newsletter and the podcast, you don't need to do anything other than subscribe for free.
We’re engineers, energy managers, technology vendors, building operators, and real estate investors.
Like you, we’re trying to bridge the gap between two cultures—that of technology on one end and millions of commercial buildings on the other—to understand where we’re headed as an industry.

Here are 5 reasons free subscribers join the Nexus Pro community:
Meet other smart building nerds and changemakers—Pro members attend exclusive events held over Zoom. The goal is to pull our industry’s changemakers together once per month and see what we can accomplish together. So far, it’s working.
Here’s what Pro members are saying:
I am a big fan of Nexus. I read your newsletters and you just keep amazing me every time. I'm now subscribed to Nexus Pro as well.
—Hasan, smart building startup founder
Our organization enjoys reading your Deep Dives and finds them very insightful. In particular, I took your Deep Dive on antifragility as motivation and implemented several changes through our departments. They are all engaged and working to ensure we exit the COVID-19 crisis in a stronger position than we entered it. Thank you!
—Joe, smart building technology COO
I’m enjoying your Nexus project. I appreciate your passion, knowledge, range of enquiry, and depth of analysis in this area.
—Graham, energy efficiency and controls professional
I'm all signed up! Have been enjoying our thought provoking exchanges both on Nexus as well as LinkedIn. Tremendous amount of value, but particularly in the vendor landscape. I still think there is much confusion and also a lack of clarity as far as capabilities and they way these solutions work "in the wild".
—Keith, smart building technology pioneer
It’s a business expense—Finally, let’s be honest… this is a business expense. Most of you can just put this on your expense report. And at $25/month or $250/year, it costs a fraction of research reports that don’t check all of the boxes above.
