PassiveLogic, a trailblazer in generative autonomy, announced that it has raised $74 million in Series C funding to accelerate its mission of bringing physical AI to infrastructure globally. The funding round was led by noa, Europe’s largest built-world venture capital firm, and included new investors Prologis Ventures, Johnson Controls, and PSP Growth. They join existing backers Addition, NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture capital arm), Keyframe, and Brookfield, bringing PassiveLogic’s total funding to over $125 million.
By leveraging this new capital, PassiveLogic aims to transform how buildings and physical infrastructure are designed, managed, and optimized. The company’s autonomous control platform is the first of its kind, delivering “robot-of-robots” orchestration across sensors, IoT devices, energy systems, and automation networks. In doing so, it extends generative AI beyond LLMs to real-world environments, enabling users to design custom autonomous systems and AI agents for the built world.

The platform handles the full complexity of built environments, ranging from data centers and hospitals to office towers and industrial campuses. In addition to fully autonomous cross-system control, it incorporates next-generation capabilities such as predictive maintenance, pre-emptive fault detection, dynamic energy management, environmental digital twins, asset tracking, physics-based analysis, and adaptive environmental control. These features bring holistic intelligence to a field long dominated by static, rules-based logic.
PassiveLogic’s Hive real-time decision engine, powered by on-site GPU clusters, unifies building functions from HVAC and energy to logistics under one intelligent brain. By applying autonomous robotics to infrastructure, the company is expanding the building automation market, projected to reach $191 billion by 2030, and the emerging Autonomous Buildings market, currently estimated at $1.3 trillion globally.
“As an early investor, we’ve seen PassiveLogic’s potential to redefine automation for the physical world,” said Gregory Dewerpe, Founder and Managing Partner at noa. “Their platform isn’t just about saving energy, it’s about giving buildings the ability to understand, adapt, and act autonomously. This is the kind of foundational technology the built world has been missing.”

“PassiveLogic is delivering the kind of step-change innovation we look for not just as investors, but as operators. Their platform brings true autonomy to building systems, allowing for smarter, more efficient, real-time control across entire environments,” added William O’Donnell, Global Head of Corporate Development and Growth at Prologis.
Troy Harvey, co-founder and CEO of PassiveLogic, emphasized the company’s vision: “Buildings account for almost 40 percent of global carbon emissions, yet most are still controlled by outdated systems designed in the 1990s. With this funding, we’re accelerating the deployment of true autonomy for the built world, enabling systems that are not just more energy efficient, but fundamentally smarter, safer, and more responsive across every aspect of operations.”
PassiveLogic’s ecosystem includes its flagship Hive platform for millisecond-level decision making, Sense Nano, a wireless sensor capturing real-time occupancy and environmental data, and Quantum Lens, a mobile app that creates a fully defined digital twin of any building using only a smartphone. Together, these solutions provide a scalable architecture adaptable to both new builds and retrofits across diverse facilities.
