Plenty of providers pre-program their controls. At Trane, we pre-engineer performance. It’s more than a word choice. It’s what can make your buildings consistently more comfortable, healthier, and more energy efficient and sustainable. It’s performance that works, straight out of the box.

Trane expertly orchestrates equipment sequences into Tracer system applications. Our embedded logic delivers performance based on the latest ASHRAE® standards and guidelines, plus any goals you set for your buildings.

  • Chiller Plant Control: Optimizes the rotation, staging, and sequencing of multiple chillers to serve dynamic building load while maximizing chiller life.
  • Trim & Respond: Delivers the sequences and performance defined in ASHRAE Guideline 36—High-Performance Sequences of Operation for HVAC systems, while allowing contextual modifications.
  • Area: Synchronizes all the equipment delivering heating and cooling in spaces, rooms or zones that share common schedules and setpoints. Works with Variable Air Systems (VAS) to coordinate air handlers and VAV boxes to manage pressure and air flow within the room or zone.
