Gradient, a manufacturer of smart heating and cooling solutions designed for a decarbonized future, has launched Gradient Nexus, a hardware-native control and intelligence platform designed specifically for operating fleets of Gradient’s All-Weather 120V window heat pumps at scale.
Gradient Nexus transforms distributed electrified units into a coordinated, software-defined system—giving multifamily housing owners and operators unprecedented visibility and control over heating and cooling across their buildings.
Proven Results
During beta testing, a customer achieved 25 percent reduction in energy consumption by deploying Gradient Nexus and remotely optimizing setpoints across their building. The platform is currently deployed across 200+ residence units in Boston; Detroit; and Washington, D.C.
Key Capabilities
Gradient Nexus provides multifamily owners and operators with:
- Comfort guardrails: Set heating and cooling boundaries that align with operating budgets; tenants retain control within those limits
- Fleet-wide visibility: Single dashboard consolidates temperature trends, runtime, alarms, and energy usage across every unit—no more checking devices one by one
- Zone-level control: Manage hundreds of units as a single coordinated system—adjust modes and temperatures across floors or buildings from one interface
- Power-aware operations: Dynamically manage total power draw across units—critical for older buildings electrifying without major electrical upgrades
Built for Gradient Hardware
Gradient Nexus is deeply integrated with Gradient’s hardware and delivers high-resolution telemetry and real-time unit-level control. It will lay the foundation for predictive maintenance and grid-interactive capabilities.
Gradient Nexus is available now for multifamily housing operators. Visit www.gradientcomfort.com/pages/nexus to learn more or schedule a demo. As the platform evolves, Gradient will continue building the operating system for electrified buildings—helping operators turn climate goals into operational reality.
