Energy Cast Podcast
Trane has been in the HVAC business since 1916. Back then, there wasn’t much talk of microgrids or decarbonization, but that’s exactly what my guest’s group is doing today. Becky Wacker, Trane’s sales director for Energy Services, says their group grew out of a long history understanding the spaces they’re cooling.
