Design and Analysis Tools

TRACE^® 3D Plus

Next-generation design and analysis software based on the U.S. Department of Energy's EnergyPlus^® simulation engine

Go seamlessly from project planning and conceptual modeling, to load design and energy/economic analysis—all through the same project file and interface.

• Easily create and validate architectural design and HVAC systems in 2D or 3D.
• Model intuitively, accurately and dynamically, at any level of fidelity.
• Import 3D models directly from CAD using Green Building XML (gbXML), or import floor plans and trace over using the draw tools.

TRACE^® 3D Plus Load Design

The next evolution of the globally used and trusted TRACE® 700 Load Design software. 

This 3D design platform makes accurately sizing your HVAC systems faster and easier at any desired level of fidelity. We've taken our 50 years of HVAC systems design and software simulation knowledge and combined it with the U.S. Department of Energy's state-of-the-art EnergyPlus® simulation engine. The result is a platform that makes right sizing HVAC systems intuitive and visually dynamic with an easy to understand workflow that's less error prone. Try the new TRACE 3D Plus platform today and get accurate sizing results in a fraction of the time.

Trane^® Design Assist^™

Project-ready building automation system designs and documentation

This intuitive, web-based application gives users the power to create reliable, repeatable designs, effectively collaborate with other project stakeholders, and export accurate construction documentations for project of all sizes. Trane Design Assist is a complementary, and brand agnostic resource to get pre-engineered solutions and system content using proven control standards and strategies. 

myCO2e™

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

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.

myPLV^® 

Chiller performance evaluation for every situation

Accurately predict chiller performance and make quick, simple economic comparisons based on individual criteria like installation location, building purpose and chiller plant design.

Trane^® Select Assist^™ (Formerly known as TOPSS^™)

Flexible and powerful selection program for optimally configuring Trane equipment

Access guided assistance to meet or exceed project specifications with the ideal Trane equipment. Plus, easily share selection files with your Trane account manager.
