Industrial supplier Johnson Controls has raised its full-year profit forecast, citing sustained demand for its heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) systems from the booming data centre sector. The company's quarterly revenue and profit both exceeded analyst expectations.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Smart Buildings. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The AI boom's biggest constraint is now physical: power and cooling. Data centre operators are your new target customer if you build anything that improves a building's energy efficiency.
