Your Trusted Innovator for Thermal Management in Mission Critical Environments
At Trane, we don't just offer solutions that cool data centers. We build ahead of the moment. We are excited to work with your team to think through how loads will shift, how tech will evolve, how to create opportunities from complexity, and how your business will need to flex. We design, build, fine-tune, and evolve systems for whatever comes next.
We see thermal management strategy as a performance multiplier and sustainability as a way to grow without giving anything up. We don’t overbuild. We out-think. We don’t wait for pressure. We plan past it. Visit Booth 151 to learn more about collaborating with Trane.

Join us for a Major Panel: “Building the AI Data Center of the Future”
As artificial intelligence (AI) drives unprecedented demand for computing power, the data centers of today must rapidly evolve to support the infrastructure of the future. From high-density power and cooling requirements to advanced networking and sustainable design, AI-driven workloads are reshaping how data centers are built and operated.
This panel will explore the key innovations, challenges, and opportunities in designing AI-ready data centers. Industry experts will discuss emerging technologies, energy efficiency strategies, and the future of scalability in an AI-powered world.

Join us for a Debate: “Data Center Cooling: Could standardization kill innovation?”
Data center cooling is a critical factor in operational efficiency and sustainability, with innovations continuously emerging to meet rising energy demands. However, as regulatory bodies and industry leaders push for standardized cooling solutions to improve reliability and sustainability, concerns arise about the potential impact on innovation. Could rigid standards stifle the development of groundbreaking technologies?
This debate explores the balance between standardization and innovation, looking at whether uniformity fosters efficiency or blocks the evolution of next-generation cooling solutions in the data center industry.
