Why does Nexus exist?

My whole career, I’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? I’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. Nexus is my attempt at sharing my evolving lens on the industry with you—without the fluff.

What is it?

I send one free newsletter per week on Tuesday mornings and produce a free bi-weekly podcast. Here are some of the most popular editions and episodes:

Newsletter #14—Exploring Passive Logic's industry-disrupting ideas about controls, digital twins, and making analytics obsolete

Podcast #003—Nick Gayeski of KGS Buildings on FDD at scale and 5 waves of smart building tech

Newsletter #20—Automating utility cost auditing, edge-to-cloud architecture, the costs of FDD, evaluating FDD algorithms

To receive the weekly newsletter and the podcast, you don't need to do anything other than subscribe for free.

Who subscribes?

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.
