WHAT IS NOSY

What is Nosy?We believe that the best way to improve your building is through data. Specifically, detailed, "ground truth" data, collected year round, that represents all of the quirks and nuances of your building. Snapshots can miss key details, and guessing is always a bad idea. Whether you want to improve your building, improve a process, or improve productivity and wellbeing, Nosy™ can help. 

Nosy can help reduce energy costs, streamline building maintenance and servicing, track key environmental metrics that affect critical processes, and help improve ventilation and indoor air quality. The data Nosy collects makes it easy to prioritize changes and maximize the return on whatever budget you have to spend. With detailed data, improvements can become more affordable, effective, and targeted.

The most visible part of Nosy is our bright yellow sensor. We made it that color so it would get people's attention and encourage questions. Once Nosy sensors are placed throughout a building, they start recording data (temperature, humidity, indoor air quality, carbon dioxide levels, atmospheric pressure, light levels and simple occupancy). Because the sensors cover the whole building, it's much easier to see patterns and understand what's really going on.

Nosy provides a continuously updated baseline for building performance and building conditions. As you make changes, you'll be able to measure their impact immediately.

What does Nosy do?Nosy collects and analyzes indoor environmental data for your whole building. The data we collect can be used to improve a building, improve processes, and improve occupant wellbeing and productivity.

Nosy sensors are placed throughout a building. They capture temperature, humidity, indoor air quality, carbon dioxide levels, atmospheric pressure, light levels and simple occupancy. Because the sensors cover the whole building, it's much easier to see patterns and understand what's really going on. But Nosy never records you. There is no audio or video recording technology in a Nosy sensor. 

Nosy provides a continuously updated baseline for building conditions and performance. As you make changes, you'll be able to measure their impact immediately.

Why did you call it "Nosy"?We chose Nosy because of its double meaning. The nose is pretty sensitive and very efficient at detecting changing air conditions. Of course, Nosy also means poking about in every corner for information, or in this case, for building environmental data!

The Nosy name was developed with Mara Rada of Citronade, a fantastic branding agency with decades of experience in a variety of consumer and business products.

Love it or hate it, we're confident you'll remember the Nosy name.

PRIVACY AND SECURITY

What about privacy?We take digital privacy, and physical privacy, very seriously. Nosy data is securely stored and made available to the building owner. We encourage open data sharing between building owners and building occupants, but we respect the rights of each building owner to decide what information to share.

Nosy does not record any type of audio or visual data. Data from your building may be used for additional analysis, but we do not resell your data to third parties.

What data does Nosy record?The Nosy Sensor is an advanced, secure, networked building sensor that tracks a range of environmental data including temperature, humidity, indoor air quality (IAQ) and total Volatile Organic Chemicals (tVOCs). It also tracks energy related metrics like occupancy and light levels.

Does Nosy record audio or video?No! Nosy does not record any audio or video signals.
