Energy Efficiency in Buildings
Decarbonization and HVAC energy efficiency go hand and in hand.
Energy efficiency means using less energy to produce the same (or better) results. Decarbonization is the process of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially carbon dioxide, from energy use. Improving energy efficiency is a key component of decarbonization because it directly reduces the amount of energy required, which reduces GHG emissions and operational costs.
Whether you’re working toward a net-zero ESG goal, seeking compliance with local regulations and building codes, or looking for ways to reduce operating expenses, Trane’s energy-efficient commercial HVAC equipment, controls and services can be a part of the solution. A big part.
As we progress toward a net-zero economy, innovative technology is key to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, improving air quality, and protecting our communities. Trane is an HVAC equipment manufacturer, building automation and controls provider, and an energy services company with expertise in helping to improve your building’s energy intensity and costs.

Attack building inefficiencies from every angle
The envelope of older buildings can be a prime source of efficiency loss. Making improvements to prevent heat from entering or escaping can reduce the cooling or heating load. Looking inside the building, we can assess ways to reduce the use of natural resources, such as reducing water consumption or upgrading lighting systems.
Automation
Connect and digitize performance management
Trane’s HVAC equipment uses digital controls, which provide the data to feed building automation systems and intelligent services that optimize energy use.
Building Services
Prevent efficiency losses
Maintenance keeps your equipment operating at its peak. Trane’s factory-trained technicians understand how to maintain equipment and system performance to minimize efficiency losses that correlate to more carbon emissions.
Equipment
Select energy-efficient HVAC systems for commercial buildings.
As of 2018, on average, 32% of energy use in commercial buildings was for heating1. Whether selecting equipment for a new building or retrofitting an existing structure, choose our new and existing equipment models with high efficiency ratings to take advantage of the latest innovation and comply with building codes.
Commercial HVAC energy efficiency should be one of your first steps toward decarbonizing an existing building or planning net-zero new construction. Our experts can help you assess, plan, and execute a strategy for achieving your goals.
