I’m thrilled to share that Leafpress is joining forces with Johnson Controls. Over the past two years, we’ve had the opportunity to work closely with the Energy Services team at Johnson Controls across product, engineering, and operations. From the beginning, it was clear that software and AI are treated as foundational - not side projects, but core infrastructure for how modern energy and building systems are built and operated. Meeting Venkat Naupada and Nikki James early on was a huge part of what shaped our conviction here. The way they think about scale, execution, and where AI fits into the future of energy made it clear that Johnson Controls deeply understands both the urgency and the responsibility of building at this level. That consistency is what makes this an exciting home for the work Leafpress has been doing and a strong platform for what comes next. We’re excited for Leafpress to become part of Johnson Controls and to see the work continue inside an organization that is actively shaping the future of AI-powered energy and building infrastructure at global scale. Jianna Liu and I are now working on something new. Looking forward to what’s ahead. | 13 comments on LinkedIn

Johnson Controls acquires Nantum AI to boost AI-driven energy optimisation in OpenBlue platform

Johnson Controls has acquired Nantum AI, a New York-based developer of AI algorithms for building energy efficiency, to enhance its OpenBlue digital ecosystem. The deal adds advanced AI-driven control capabilities for optimising HVAC systems and reducing energy consumption. Nantum AI's technology enables real-time optimisation of building airflow based on occupancy, extending OpenBlue's capabilities beyond central HVAC systems to include granular, system-wide control. The company has demonstrated energy savings exceeding 10% for customers by leveraging data from occupancy patterns, weather conditions and utility trends. The acquisition expands OpenBlue's optimisation capabilities from water-side systems to include autonomous AI-driven control across both air- and water-side applications. The combined offering is being piloted across complex environments including healthcare campuses and manufacturing facilities.

Ring Capital joins Enerin's Series A to decarbonise high-temperature industrial heat

Enerin, a Norwegian industrial heat pump technology company, has completed the third tranche of its Series A round, adding Paris-based Ring Capital to its investor consortium. The round includes Climentum Capital, The Footprint Firm, Johnson Controls, Move Energy, PSV Hafnium and Momentum. The company's HoegTemp system delivers thermal energy at temperatures up to 250°C, targeting the industrial heat segment responsible for over 20% of global CO2 emissions. Each installation avoids approximately 36,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent over its lifetime by replacing fossil-fuel boilers. Enerin is transitioning from development to serial production, with three active pilots and a recent contract with Roche. The funding will scale manufacturing operations and accelerate product development. CEO Arne Høeg said Ring Capital's involvement strengthens the company's ability to deploy solutions across Europe.
