Noda is a data and analytics company for the commercial built environment. We reimagine how modern buildings operate — because a better world needs better buildings. Better buildings are more efficient, more sustainable, and more resilient. They are intelligent, autonomous ecosystems that anticipate and adapt, seamlessly.

With commercial building operations accounting for nearly 30% of global emissions, we’re on a mission to turn buildings into a force for positive change, powering a more efficient, more sustainable world. We do this with smart software, careful use of modern artificial intelligence, sophisticated data models, and custom interfaces to building systems – and a lot of in-depth knowledge about how commercial buildings actually run.
