ST. LOUIS: Emerson has completed the purchase of 7AC Technologies Inc., a technology start-up offering an emerging approach to air conditioning technology that enables energy savings and sustainable air management, a news release said.

Emerson, a longtime leader in advanced heating and cooling technologies, has been collaborating with 7AC to commercialize a new technology that enables customers such as commercial building owners and retailers to achieve desired relative humidity and temperature in a single step.
