Nest

Nest, operating under Google, provides smart thermostat solutions tailored for the multifamily apartment industry, including apartment communities and broader property operations. Their Nest thermostats feature learning algorithms designed to optimize heating and cooling schedules based on occupant behavior, facilitating energy efficiency and enhanced thermal comfort in multifamily settings such as conventional apartment buildings and student housing. Nest thermostats are integrated into building management systems via partnerships like the Works with Latch program, which allows multifamily owners and operators to manage all smart devices through a unified platform. This integration supports management of thermostats in vacant units and common areas, streamlining operations for property managers and improving resident convenience by enabling remote control and secure building access features. Google Nest has initiated pilots in properties such as Greystar’s Denver apartment portfolio, including installations at Parq on Speer, exemplifying deployment within large-scale multifamily rental communities.
