    customers in the HVAC industry,” says Danny Miller, President, Transformative Wave. “Having Emerson as a business partner provides us additional reach into key growth markets and new synergy options for our energy efficiency technologies.”

    Founded in 2010, Transformative Wave is privately-owned, with 31 employees. Among its energy-saving technologies is its CATALYST efficiency upgrade, a roof top unit (RTU) solution that can reduce HVAC energy use by 25-to-50 percent. The CATALYST portfolio of solutions also enables commercial customers to deploy real-time equipment status monitoring, automated fault detection and diagnostics, and building automation control, all driving deeper efficiency savings for its customers.

    “Transformative Wave is a good fit for Emerson,”

    says Mark Dunson, group vice president, Electronics & Solutions, Emerson. ”This is an up-and-coming business that has demonstrated strong, rapid growth in recent years and creates an immediate footprint for Emerson in the broader commercial buildings space. Transformative Wave’s industry award-winning technology enhances Emerson’s growing portfolio of connected solutions that help building owners reduce operating costs while leveraging the existing installed base of assets and investments.”

    Emerson’s investment in Transformative Wave follows two acquisitions announced last month, also for its Commercial & Residential Solutions business. PakSense and Locus Traxx are both leaders in providing temperature monitoring technologies for food and high-value shipments throughout the entire supply chain to promote freshness and quality. Emerson will include Locus Traxx and PakSense in a newly-formed business focused on cargo-based solutions.
