FAQs

Your HVAC systems questions, answered.

A commercial HVAC system regulates temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality in buildings using a combination of waterside, airside, unitary, and ductless products. Advanced controls and digital services, including building automation systems and remote monitoring, help improve efficiency and reliability. 

For sizing HVAC systems, tools like TRACE 3D Plus can be used. The analysis typically involves inputting detailed building information, defining building zones, and defining system types to determine the heating and cooling sizes needed.

HVAC components in a system can include unitary equipment such as rooftop units, ductless equipment such as variable refrigerant flow systems, or applied systems such as air handlers, chillers and heat pumps. Advanced controls and building automation systems help improve building performance by controlling temperature, humidity and indoor air quality. 

Trane’s commercial HVAC systems include heat pump chillers and chilled water systems for large-scale heating and cooling needs, geothermal and Thermal Battery systems for enhanced efficiency through thermal energy storage, CoolSense and Intelligent VAV Systems for precise and efficient air distribution, and variable refrigerant flow and zoned rooftop systems for efficient small to medium-scale cooling and heating needs.
