J2 Innovations, a Siemens company and global leader in building automation software, is proud to announce its participation in the AHR Expo 2026, taking place in Las Vegas—the city where the J2 story began.
Co-founded in 2009 by Scott Muench and a team of innovators, J2 Innovations was born out of a vision to revolutionize Building Automation Systems (BAS). That vision first sparked during landmark projects on the Las Vegas Strip, including MGM Properties and the City Center development—the largest construction project in U.S. history at the time. These projects revealed the limitations of existing BAS tools and inspired the creation of a better, smarter framework for engineering, commissioning, and visualizing building systems.
From its humble beginnings with tools like FIN Builder and FIN Mobile, J2 Innovations has grown into a global powerhouse, delivering the FIN Framework—a next-generation software platform that simplifies smart building and IoT solutions. In 2018, Siemens, a customer of J2 Innovations at that time, acquired the company, enabling J2 Innovations to scale FIN Framework globally while retaining its innovative spirit.
“Returning to Las Vegas for AHR Expo is more than just an exhibition for us; we look back and feel very proud of what we have achieved. Visiting AHR Expo again in 2026, it’s a reminder of our roots and how far we’ve come,” said Scott Muench, Co-Founder and VP of Knowledge Excellence at J2 Innovations. “From solving challenges on the Strip in the early 2000s to shaping the future of smart buildings worldwide today, our journey reflects the power of innovation and collaboration.”
At AHR Expo 2026, J2 Innovations will showcase:
Visitors can experience live demos, meet the J2 team, and explore how J2 Innovations continues to lead the way in smart building technology.
