Exclusive: Swedish startup automating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design for commercial buildings raises $20 million in seed round

When architects design a commercial building, they usually turn the design over to a specialized consulting firm to plan the heating and air conditioning, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Those consultants have for some time used computer-assisted design software, but it is still a laborious process that can take a skilled building engineer weeks to complete.

Now a Swedish startup called Endra is using AI to automate this mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design process.
