Venture Capital Platform AEC Angels Invests in Bladeless Wind Energy
AEC Angels, a venture capital investment platform focused on emerging technologies in the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors, has made an endorsement investment in Aeromine Technologies, creator of a bladeless wind energy system designed to help commercial property owners meet increasing demands for on-site renewable energy.
Designed to seamlessly integrate with existing building electrical and rooftop solar systems, Aeromine’s scalable, motionless system easily installs on the edge of a building’s rooftop. Through its investment vehicle TTWiiN IP, AEC Angels member Thornton Tomasetti has invested in Aeromine’s investment round.
AEC Angels is an alliance of industry veterans that partnered to make strategic investments in early-stage companies with promising technological advances. Members include Thornton Tomasetti, STO Building Group, Syska Hennessy and SHoP Architects.
“Aeromine’s proprietary and innovative technology makes the promise of bringing the performance of wind energy to the built environment a reality that can increase on site generation 100-200% for any given project when paired with solar and battery storage” said Grant McCullagh, AEC Angels’ managing director.
“It takes many different solutions to meet the major challenges presented by the need to reduce emissions,” added Tom Scarangello, executive chairman, Thornton Tomasetti. “Aeromine is cost-effective, durable and a potential game-changer for green rooftop energy.”
