vs Nantum — Capability Map

Module-by-module coverage vs Nantum AI, plus the five capabilities they don't ship.

vs Nantum AI — capability map

Headline

Nantum AI was acquired by Johnson Controls on 2026-04-27 and is folding into the JCI OpenBlue product family. We cover all nine of Nantum's modules with comparable or richer surfaces — and add five capabilities Nantum does not ship today.

Module-by-module coverage

Nantum module Our equivalent Note
Climate Risk /climate — Physical Climate Risk dashboard with NPCC4 mid-range projections, FEMA flood-zone view, heat-wave projection 2030/2050, ASCE 7-22 wind, ConEd grid-reliability, mitigation plan We add insurance-premium delta per hazard
Sustainability & ESG /energy, /leed — annual kWh, CO₂e, EUI, ENERGY STAR percentile, ESG composite (0–100) We ship the LEED scorecard they don't
Performance Engineering /insights, /faults, /conformance — anomaly detection + alarm intelligence + ASHRAE Guideline 36 sequence scoring G36 conformance is a Nantum-class gap closed
Building Automation /control — full closed-loop action queue with 4-layer safety (dry-run → dual approval → BACnet pri 13/14 → auto-revert) Demo shows workflow; production wires to SOAP PropServRA setValue
Data Acquisition & Trust Under the hood — BMS ingestion (CSV today, SOAP next), idempotent MERGE upsert, deterministic re-ingest Always-on; no per-feature surface
AI Recommendations (agents) /insights — six named agents (Energy Anomaly, Peak Demand, Comfort Drift, Schedule Optimizer, Fault Correlator, ESG Reporter) with z-score anomaly engine We map every agent finding to a queued Control Center action
Leasing & Retention /tenants — LL97 §28-320.5 tenant carbon allocation, ESG packets, lease pass-through math; /iaq — tenant comfort/wellness scoring We cover the financial and comfort sides
Actionable Insights /faults, /insights — real-time alarm feed, MTTR breakdown, predictive recommendations Recommendations route to /control for execution
Human Experience Available as a packaged service from Intelligent IT NYC Not a software gap; a packaging decision

What we ship that Nantum doesn't

Capability Where it lives Why it matters
NYC Local Law 97 Carbon Governor /ll97 $268/tCO₂e annual penalty math, 2024 vs 2030 thermometers, 11-year projection, what-if scenarios. Nobody else gives the principal a real-time penalty thermometer.
ASHRAE Guideline 36 sequence scoring /conformance First commercial BMS analytics tool to grade live equipment against G36-2021. Engineers buy on this.
Refrigerant Digital Twin (EPA 608) /refrigerant Chiller-by-chiller GWP-weighted CO₂e, leak ledger, AIM Act phase-down alerts, R-22 retrofit flags. Nobody handles refrigerant in BAS analytics.
LEED EAc1 + EAc3 MBCx Digest /leed Auto-generated monthly continuous-commissioning evidence packet. Saves $50–100K/yr per building in CxA fees.
Tenant Carbon Allocation Portal /tenants LL97 §28-320.5 sqft-weighted pass-through math + ESG packets. Closes the leasing-team ROI hook nobody else surfaces.

Strategic context

  • Acquisition window: Nantum's standalone product surface is expected to absorb into JCI OpenBlue within 12–18 months. Buyers shopping for an independent AI-native BMS layer have a narrowing field.
  • LL97 cliff: the 2030 office cap (~46% lower than 2024) creates a hard 4-year deadline for NYC commercial principals. A read-only dashboard that also writes back at priority 13/14 with safety guardrails is the difference between exposed and compliant.
  • LEED v5 (released August 2025): shifts weight from kBtu/sf to operational kgCO₂e/sf and adds grid-interactive scoring. Real-time emissions tracking is now table stakes — favors tools that close the loop, like ours.
  • G36 + MBCx as moats: these are technical-buyer credibility plays. Once a CxA + facility engineer see sequence-by-sequence conformance evidence, the conversation moves from "will it work" to "how fast can we deploy."

How to demo this

  1. Open /ll97 — show the 2030 thermometer and the dollar number on the page.
  2. Open /conformance — show ten pieces of equipment scored against G36 with specific findings (simultaneous heat+cool, stuck dampers).
  3. Open /control — show that every G36 finding becomes a queued action in the Control Center, ready for operator approval at BACnet priority 13.
  4. Open /leed — scroll to the MBCx digest. Note that it satisfies the LEED v4.1 O+M EAc3 monthly review cadence automatically.
  5. Close on /tenants — show the per-tenant ESG packet. The leasing team gets a renewable conversation hook.

The above five clicks cover four of the five Nantum-gap capabilities and the strategic context in under 8 minutes.
