Carrier invests in Archilogic
Carrier, a US air conditioning company, is investing in Archilogic through its venture capital fund. The Zurich start-up offers a technology that can be used to convert building floor plans into 3D models.
Carrier has invested in three start-ups through its newly created venture capital fund. According to a media release , one of these is a Swiss company, Archilogic .
The spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich ( ETH ) convinced Carrier with their specially developed software. With this, the floor plans of buildings can be converted into 3D models. For example, users can see how a floor plan affects the visual reference, incidence of light or noise pollution. This makes it easy to compare different floor plans.
Carrier also wants to integrate the Zurich development into its own digital cloud platform. This should enable users to visualize buildings better, which should ultimately enable the planning of “healthier and more efficient rooms”.
Carrier has launched its venture capital fund, Carrier Venture 2022. The company, based in Palm Beach Gardens in the US state of Florida, wants to promote sustainable innovations in the building sector.
