In addition to the new solutions available this quarter, Trane continues to innovate and enhance building management and automation systems that make it easier to manage buildings and energy use through integrated, easy-to-use systems.

Precedent® Hybrid Dual Fuel Heat Pumps for Light Commercial Applications

Lower carbon emissions and energy use with Trane® Precedent® Hybrid Dual Fuel light commercial heat pump rooftop units. Traditional gas heating geographies can now enjoy the benefits of hybrid technology.

Trane Precedent 3 – 10 Ton dual fuel heat pumps offer a viable replacement solution to natural gas 

With an adjustable auxiliary heating setpoint, the electric heat pump serves as the primary heating source while natural gas is activated only on an as-needed basis. As customers shift to building electrification, Trane Precedent 3 – 10 Ton dual fuel heat pumps offer a viable replacement solution to natural gas while increasing energy efficiency and address carbon emissions. These units are available for quick delivery and installation in new construction or retrofit applications.

Motorized Impeller Fan Array

The new Trane Motorized Impeller Fan Array offers a small footprint that simplifies installations in older buildings or other locations featuring very small door openings. The systems’ redundancy helps to ensure ongoing performance should one fan in the array need troubleshooting.

The easy-to-maintain fan is small enough to fit through double doors, simplifying setup and reducing installation costs. The array, which supports up to 15 fans, ensures a consistent airflow while multiple motors enable a smaller electrical load. The fan assembly motor and the inverter both come as “plug and play” components.

Upgrade to Tracer® SC+ 

Building owners and facilities managers can upgrade their current building automation system to Trane Tracer SC+ to gain better control over occupant comfort and energy efficiency. Tracer SC+ also allows for better lifecycle management of systems, remote access, increased productivity, and the easy-to-use Synchrony interface, helping customers realize savings in energy costs as well as operational costs.
