Thermal Comfort

People may experience the same room temperature slightly differently. One person might feel too warm. Another too cold. Perceptions are influenced by age, the season, clothing—and whether a person is seated near a sunny window or directly under an AC vent. When the right HVAC equipment and control strategies are in place, everyone can feel more comfortable.

When people are uncomfortable in your building, you’re going to hear about it. You will feel it in the bottom line and other outcomes, too. Multiple studies have shown that the more comfortable people are, the more productive they become.¹ Finding the root cause of discomfort is the first step to resolving it.  Is temperature the cause, or is humidity to blame? Are there enough sensors in the room? Trane has a deep expertise in understanding the dynamics between buildings, systems and people that influence comfort.

Managing temperature and humidity holistically is key to maintaining comfort and healthy indoor air quality. Trane offers thermal and humidity management solutions for any building. Today’s advanced HVAC systems make it possible to carefully manage comfort for individual satisfaction, while maintaining the building’s economic efficiency.  Beyond installation, Trane’s integrated system controls place everyday comfort management wherever you want it—with enterprise managers, building managers, and even individual tenants.
