Intelligent Services has four solutions that help manage a facility for optimum energy efficiency, reliability and occupant satisfaction:

  • Building Performance analyzes data and equipment behavior to see what is happening inside a building to uncover hidden information and opportunities for improvement. With Building Performance, Trane building professionals provide ongoing analysis and recommended actions for immediate proactive service needs and long-term optimization activities.
  • Energy Performance monitors utilities and analyzes how building systems are using energy in real time. Powerful visualizations and advanced analytics provide proactive insights for tracking and reporting building information and key performance indicators.
  • Energy Assessment uses advanced tools and expertise of Trane professionals to help visualize and measure building energy data, which is transformed into meaningful information that can identify and monetize impactful energy projects for sustained results.
  • Active Monitoring provides 24/7 support and continuous monitoring of building systems, to proactively detect problems and resolve issues quickly, or initiate action to resolve the issue. Trane building professionals analyze each alarm to keep critical systems up and running.

“Buildings produce a lot of data. With Intelligent Services, building owners and managers are able to put that data to use with targeted recommendations that prioritize energy-saving projects, improve staff efficiency and reduce energy costs,” added Gates.

Trane Intelligent Services provides building owners and managers with the ability to establish baselines and benchmarks, set performance goals, and validate results – turning buildings into assets that positively impact the bottom line, says the company.
