What Fusion Énergie inc does

Fusion Énergie inc is a Canadian energy intelligence company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Laval, Quebec, with a regional office in Toronto, Ontario. The company operates an AI-powered energy management platform that combines proprietary control algorithms with real-time optimization to reduce energy waste in commercial buildings, hotels, condominiums, senior residences, and institutional facilities. Its core products are Pilot IE, a turnkey building energy management system with automated alerting and 24/7 technical support, and Hub IE, an energy management system for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Both products run on the integrated Fusion IE platform that interfaces with client electromechanical systems for continuous monitoring, anomaly detection, and automated optimization.

Fusion sells its solution through a direct sales motion targeting property owners and managers across Canada, offering free building energy potential evaluations and structuring engagements as managed-services contracts with guaranteed energy savings. Documented client outcomes include 20-50% reductions in energy bills relative to pre-installation costs, with ROI typically achieved within 1.8-2.4 years and individual buildings reporting annualized savings in the range of $150K-$435K CAD. The platform has been deployed in more than 300 buildings across Canada.

In 2024, Fusion merged with Lemay, an architecture and design firm recognized for its leadership in sustainable design, becoming a subsidiary within the Lemay CO inc. corporate structure. Founder Daniel Sarrazin remains active as President, with CEO Loïc Angot leading day-to-day operations. The company maintains research collaborations with Hydro-Québec's IREQ, CanmetÉNERGIE, IVADO, Université de Sherbrooke, and Polytechnique Montréal to support ongoing development of its control algorithms.
