Welcome to the new Buyers Tower! With thousands of companies selling to the smart building industry, it can be overwhelming and confusing to find the right fit. Here you’ll find the industry’s top technology vendors and service providers, vetted by Nexus Labs. Take a look around and check back as we add more partners and publish category deep dives.
Market transformation partners are working on permanently changing the business cycle by aligning incentives. These partners focus on policy development, R&D, education, outreach, financial incentives, technical assistance, and network-building.
Talent and labor shortages will prevent the industry’s transition to decarbonized and digitized buildings–unless the workforce builders have something to say about it.
We talk a lot about the flashy new technology required for smart buildings. But we must always remember that when we're changing how things are done, people make it happen. Buyers recognize the importance of specialist roles—either on their staff or outsourced as members of their team of service providers. The Vital Roles are the service providers that buyers can’t do without.

Applications sit on top of the data layer and provide outcomes to users through mobile apps, web apps, or process-based applications. Buyers need persona-specific, contextually integrated applications that are designed around digitizing and automating human workflows.
The data layer sits on top of the device and network layers as the data infrastructure for any smart building software application. The applications need an ontology to understand all the data they're consuming, including all the underlying devices and how they fit together into a system of systems.
The Device Layer is where the digital meets the physical world. It’s where the digital device controllers live—each with their own unique inputs, outputs, and life safety functions. Our devices have immense teamwork potential, but they often sit in silos.
Poor cellular coverage is the number one tenant complaint in many commercial buildings, and DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) is often proposed as the solution. But with costs ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, building owners need to understand what they're really getting. Our panel explores the critical questions every owner should ask before investing in DAS technology in our latest Nexus APAC building owner meetup.
A practical guide for facility managers of small commercial buildings on why choosing the right partner before the product is the key to implementing affordable, simple, and scalable building automation systems.
