ST. LOUIS — Copeland announced it has agreed to acquire Bueno Analytics, an Australia-based software company specializing in artificial intelligence-driven building analytics and energy management solutions for commercial buildings and the cold chain.
According to Copeland, the acquisition will integrate Bueno Analytics’ software-as-a-service platform, which uses embedded AI and machine learning to deliver operational insights, predictive maintenance, energy management, leak detection, and workforce efficiency tools. Bueno’s platform is currently deployed across several thousand customer sites worldwide.
Copeland said the combined capabilities are intended to help customers improve equipment uptime, reduce energy use, extend asset life, and gain greater visibility into building and cold chain operations. The company noted that buildings account for an estimated 40% of global carbon emissions, with commercial buildings and cold chain operations representing a significant portion of that impact.
The acquisition strengthens Copeland’s aftermarket portfolio by adding AI-enabled analytics designed to support data-driven decision-making and performance optimization. Copeland stated that customers are increasingly relying on connected services to manage complex systems and meet operational and sustainability goals.
“This acquisition will combine Copeland’s leading-edge technologies, broad aftermarket offerings, and strong customer relationships with Bueno Analytics’ proven AI-enabled platform,” said Ross B. Shuster, CEO of Copeland.
Bueno Analytics will continue to operate as an independent company until the transaction closes. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of the 2026 calendar year, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
