Use resources wisely

Focusing on energy and sustainability can make communities stronger.

Civic leaders are constantly challenged to use financial, environmental and physical resources responsibly, stretching to create vibrant communities. Our collaboration with the public sector uses an integrated approach to leveraging buildings as a resource for creating stand-out communities; places that are financially stronger, focused on sustainability, and adaptable and resilient during adversity and change.

Our goal was to get the chiller down to 10 percent capacity; we watched them get it down to 5 percent. We were able to buy fewer chillers with more tonnage. It was more efficient, less costly, and we now have open space for storage or to rent.

Make sustainability a shared priority

Citizens are passionate about sustainability and it’s up to community leaders to act on those interests. Energy projects are reducing the energy intensity of the world, yet there’s a lot more work to be done. Trane has broad capabilities in making towns and cities more sustainable. Implementing renewable energy is a common first step. Some communities are installing distributed energy resources to provide off-grid energy. Others are purchasing more renewable energy directly from local utilities or through virtual power purchase agreements (VPPA). We can help you make the best choices for your community, and then turn the plans into reality.

Bolster resilience and reduce risk

If the grid shuts down, you need restore power to critical systems fast. We can help you implement a contingency plan which, depending on priorities, can mean many different things: establishing a microgrid that runs on renewable energy, incorporating thermal energy storage to provide temporary backup cooling, or installing temporary power generators. We can assess areas of risk and build a plan for resiliency.
