True sustainability means getting it right for both the building application and the climate

Refrigerants have a meaningful impact on chiller performance and the climate. Selecting low global warming potential (GWP) and low refrigerant charges can help lessen the CO2 impact of chillers. That’s why Trane offers the convenient myCO2e tool to provide the insight you need to make an informed decision. 

We make buildings future-friendly

The myCO2e tool can help evaluate and justify a choice between different refrigerant selections in chiller-related products and quantify the carbon impact of the decision. If you are thinking about building decarbonization, this tool can help you evaluate carbon emissions associated with refrigerant selection. Compare any chiller industry-wide with different high and low GWP refrigerants.

Version 1.8 of myCO2e is available for use with Excel and includes:

  • Side-by-side equivalent selections to determine an alternative charge of a chiller
  • Default assumptions / values for leak rates 
  • Examples of CO2 offset costs
