Building automation/control and climate tech company Embue raised $2.3 million in a seed round led by Shadow Ventures, and including Avesta Fund, Leder Investments, and others.

Embue focuses on making multifamily portfolios more energy and carbon efficient. "We offer a cloud-based service platform for connected devices across your building portfolio level right down to controlling, managing and servicing each unit, common areas and central equipment," the company website says.

By collecting usage of heating/cooling and energy consumption on a per-unit basis and controlling equipment in the units, Embue "automatically detects and prevents unsafe and unhealthy settings in apartments and common areas. Embue's temperature / humidity / occupancy sensing provide all the inputs needed to safely reduce energy spend while preserving healthy indoor conditions."
