Carrier aims for pole position

arrier Commercial recently welcomed a record number of customers to its annual conference, held this year at Silverstone, which included special guest speaker, former Formula 1 World Champion Damon Hill. Throughout the day, Carrier experts provided insights into its ongoing
innovations in sustainable and intelligent building solutions while addressing key topics and trends aligned with customers’ sustainability goals, energy needs, and cost pressures. Carrier’s data centre team outlined the forecasted growth in this industry
and explained how a ‘conception to completion’ approach to HVAC can benefit not only the data centre but also its wider community. Carrier invited guest speaker Laura Bishop, a leading voice in decarbonisation and sustainability, to offer insights about the adoption of heat pumps in the UK. Rounding off the afternoon of presentations was the Carrier HVAC Service team who explained more about its service and aftermarket solutions with a focus on life cycle asset management and predictive maintenance strategies. Customers then had the opportunity to compete in teams through various racing- themed activities in the Silverstone pit garages such as a pit stop challenge, which included tyre changing, Batak light reaction, and simulator racing. In the equipment zone, guests could see some of Carrier’s latest innovations including the AquaForce 30XF, specifically designed for the data centre, and a look at the newly extended AquaForce 30XWH range. There were also areas for Carrier’s building controls and the Carrier Rentals team to explain more about the wide range of solutions they offer, alongside a mini recreation of Carrier’s new Training Academy which gave guests an insight into the hands-on learning available in Bracknell.
