Commercial Real Estate Building Design

A high performance building methodology takes a holistic view of building systems and links the physical environment of the building to business results like operating efficiency and employee productivity.

Looking out at highrise buildings "Green buildings generate an average increase of 7.5% in a building's value and a 6.6% improvement in return on investment, while decreasing operating costs by 8% to 9%,"[1] according to McGraw-Hill Construction. Other benefits include lower energy costs, lower insurance rates, and the ability to draw in higher-quality tenants.

Trane brings decades of experience and expertise in modeling and designing multiple building types to address indoor air quality, occupant comfort, and service & maintenance, so that occupants of the building are as comfortable and productive as possible.

This knowledge and data are integrated into our powerful tools, to help enable energy efficiency and optimum performance in a building design through siting and mechanical, electric and lighting systems.
