Backpack is a comprehensive solution designed to digitize the built world. By collecting data from documents, integrations, surveys, and annual site visits, Backpack aggregates and centralizes building information, ranging from property characteristics, leasing data, utilities, equipment, real-time data, capital plans, and more. This digital foundation powers built-in tools like automated Energy Star scoring and compliance tracking, while providing the insights needed to effectively run decarbonization programs, prioritize capital projects, lower insurance premiums, and enable Backpack’s Marketplace of products and services to offer cash-back rewards.
Backpack was born out of an acquisition of Bractlet in 2021, a software company that developed the industry’s most advanced energy analytics and modeling technology. Motivated by the philosophy that accurate data is the key for driving change, their team is focused on arming the built world with comprehensive, verified, and accessible property data – transitioning the industry away from the days when data sits siloed onsite, scattered across various spreadsheets, leaving you with more questions than answers.
With digitized and up-to-date information, Backpack is empowering stakeholders to leverage robust information to implement sustainability initiatives, provide intelligence for better planning, effectively track results, and tap into opportunities that increase profit.
Although nothing beats the in-person real-time learnings from NexusCon, we are excited to release the NexusCon session recordings to our Nexus Pro Community. We have over 40 hours of hot takes, knowledge bombs, case studies, collaborations, and disagreements among smart buildings industry experts to share with you.
This session explores how adopting an IT mindset for OT systems can enhance governance and cybersecurity, ensuring that digital buildings are not only smart but also secure and reliable. This session covers the following briefings:
Over a year has passed since our podcast with Cory Clarke, CPO of Neeve on Neeve’s full-stack offering. A lot has changed and progressed since then, including upgraded product offerings, a new company name, and $15 million in 2024 financing! We sat down with Nitesh Trikha, CEO of Neeve, to hear what’s new.
For our first Nexus Pro Gathering since NexusCon, we were excited to welcome Christopher Tjiattas, Program Manager at District Control Systems, back to the (virtual) stage to once again give his award-winning case study presentation.
A few weeks ago, there were two conferences in Denver for people who feel misunderstood. One was for people who believe aliens live amongst us. The other was NexusCon, for people who feel like aliens amongst the rest of the real estate and construction industries.
