About Emerson

Designing intelligent HVAC controls and building automation systems since 2005

Engineering the Future of Climate Control

Founded in 2005, Emerson was built on a singular conviction: that HVAC control systems could be fundamentally smarter. While the industry relied on fixed setpoints and reactive maintenance, we designed the first cloud-connected building controller platform from the ground up.

Today, with 450 professionals across 3 manufacturing facilities and 18 service centers worldwide, we deliver intelligent control solutions to commercial buildings, data centers, pharmaceutical facilities, and industrial plants in 48 countries.

Our R&D team of 65 engineers holds expertise spanning embedded firmware, cloud infrastructure, machine learning, and thermal systems engineering — a cross-disciplinary team purpose-built for the convergence of IT and operational technology in modern buildings.

Emerson R&D Lab

Key Milestones

2005

Founded

Established in Houston, TX with a team of 12 embedded systems engineers focused on DDC controllers for commercial HVAC.

2012

Cloud Platform Launch

Released the first version of our cloud-connected BMS gateway, enabling remote monitoring for multi-site facility portfolios.

2018

International Expansion

Opened European operations in Frankfurt and Asia-Pacific hub in Shanghai. Annual production capacity reached 4,000 control systems.

2024

Low-GWP Control Suite

Launched validated control algorithms for R-290, R-744, and R-1234ze refrigerant systems. R&D team expanded to 65 engineers across 3 facilities.

What Drives Us

Engineering Rigor

Every control algorithm is validated through hardware-in-the-loop simulation and field testing before release. We measure performance in COP points gained, not marketing claims.

Open Architecture

We design for interoperability. Our controllers speak BACnet, Modbus, and MQTT because buildings run on diverse equipment from multiple vendors.

Sustainability by Design

From low-GWP refrigerant control algorithms to demand-response grid integration, environmental performance is engineered into the product — not added as an afterthought.
