1. Gather Data
Your school’s unique needs, building, equipment, regulations and incentives all offer valuable data that Trane helps define.
Aging, unreliable and costly infrastructure. Budget roadblocks. Uncertainties around sustainability. For all of these building demands, you’ll want more than generic solutions. You need a partner that can listen, understand your goals and give advice on your school’s unique circumstances.
Trane enables consultative, data-backed guidance for your specific building and energy challenges. Through a combination of technology, data and recommendations—provided by our building and energy experts—you’ll have a roadmap forward that benefits your facilities, spending and students.

- Reduce energy costs using energy conservation and optimization solutions
- Meet sustainability goals through building decarbonization solutions to lower carbon emissions
- Enhance energy resilience with on- or off-site distributed energy resources, including renewables
- Optimize your budget via custom funding options
