Florida-based HVAC specialist Carrier Global has acquired 75F, an innovator in cloud-native, wireless, AI-enabled building automation systems.

The acquisition strengthens Carrier’s intelligent building capabilities across applications from complex applied systems and high-growth data centres to light commercial and retrofits.

“Buildings are becoming intelligent and autonomous systems that continuously learn, adapt and optimise performance,” said David Gitlin, CEO of Carrier (carrier.com). “Through Carrier ClimaVision, we have already seen first-hand the power of 75F’s cloud-native, AI-enabled platform. This acquisition accelerates our strategy to create increasingly autonomous and self-optimising buildings by bringing together connected equipment, intelligent controls and digital solutions in a unified platform that simplifies deployment, connects building data and enables agentic AI.”

The combination of Carrier’s WebCTRL building controls install base, Abound predictive analytics capability and the Nlyte operational intelligence platform with 75F’s unified data layer and AI capabilities should create a differentiated end-to-end offering spanning equipment, controls, analytics and outcomes for buildings globally. Together, these integrated capabilities enable building operators to transition from traditional building management to fully autonomous operations that proactively identify maintenance opportunities, optimise energy consumption, intelligently manage assets and improve occupant comfort.

“75F was founded to fundamentally rethink building automation using cloud-native software, AI and wireless technologies,” said Deepinder Singh, CEO of Minnesota-based 75F (www.75f.io). “Joining Carrier enables us to accelerate that vision on a global scale. Together, we can help make intelligent buildings simpler to deploy, easier to operate and more accessible to customers everywhere.”

75F’s platform combines wireless sensors, intuitive controls, cloud software and AI-enabled automation designed to reduce installation time and simplify commissioning while optimising energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Carrier plans to integrate 75F’s generative and agentic AI as well as auto-commissioning capabilities into its large commercial platforms, including its QuantumLeap thermal management suite, improving deployment and real-time thermal performance for the rapidly growing data centre market.

Deployed in offices and businesses at scale, 75F’s IoT-based building management system can reduce greenhouse gas emissions while lowering energy costs for tenants and businesses and improving comfort for guests and occupants.
