with RYCOM’s Data Intelligence services to further reduce climate impacts
May 17, 2022 – (Vancouver/ Unceded Territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations) – Nexii Building Solutions Inc.(Nexii), an award-winning green building technology company, and RYCOM Corporation (RYCOM), a leading smart building technology provider, announce a partnership that will support clients in their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint, energy use, and operational costs.
The partnership comes naturally with both companies innovating building solutions and systems focused on decarbonization. The integration of RYCOM Data Intelligence services with Nexii building products now enables Nexii to present a complete, high-performance building solution to clients who are goal driven about environmental sustainability and decarbonization.
Using advanced algorithms, software and hardware, RYCOM’S Data Intelligence services — one part of their integrated suite of smart solutions— continuously capture, measure, and analyze building system data. The ability to capture and analyze data in ways that are easy to interpret facilitates proactive building management, increases tenant comfort and safety, and provides the insight needed to manage energy consumption and GHG emissions.
“Our RYCOM partnership will help clients improve the measurement and performance of their buildings,” says Stephen Sidwell, co-founder and CEO of Nexii. “As buildings and construction account for 39% of global climate pollution,[1] the ability to monitor, reduce, and improve buildings’ performance with RYCOM systems is another great step forward in our mission to build a vibrant future for people and planet.”
“RYCOM has strategically invested in the digitization of building operations by creating products and services that support the reduction of energy and greenhouse gas emissions while future-proofing smart buildings across North America,” says Casey Witkowicz, President and CEO of RYCOM. “By combining our smart building technology with Nexii’s innovative buildings, we play a major role in creating a more sustainable, low carbon economy.”
Nexii buildings have a lower carbon footprint with up to 36 percent less embodied carbon[2], and use approximately one third less energy overall and one half the heating energy.[3] Coupling RYCOM’S advanced Data Intelligence services with Nexii high-performance buildings will allow clients to further reduce the climate impacts of their buildings and operations.
