Trane Engineers Newsletters are topical, informative articles that provide engineering professionals who design HVAC systems with reliable, objective, and technologically current information in a non-commercial format.
For over 50 years, these newsletters have been published by Trane Applications Engineering group to aid engineers in the design and application of HVAC systems. Subjects range from acoustics to water piping to interpretation of ASHRAE standards. These newsletters have become a trusted technical resource, with a current circulation of more than 40,000.
One of the building industry’s greatest challenges is to help reduce the energy and carbon footprint of the built environment. This Engineers Newsletter is intended to help readers interpret and apply the requirements of ASHRAE® Standard 100-2024 and similar Building Performance Standards (BPS). The 2024 version of Standard 100 changes the title, purpose, and scope to include a focus on carbon footprint reduction.

Trane Engineers Newsletter LIVE programs are technical, in-depth 60-minute programs covering the topics listed below. Many are available on-demand, free of charge for continuing education credit.
SPECIAL EDITION: ENGINEERS NEWSLETTER LIVE
ASHRAE® Standard 15, Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems This bonus ENL focuses on the safe design, construction, installation, and operation of refrigeration systems, including a review of Class A2L (lower flammability) refrigerants and how Standard 15-2022's requirements apply to various types of refrigeration systems, including packaged rooftop units, VRF systems, and water chillers.
This program covers innovative system configurations for both air-to-water heat pump and storage source heat pump systems. You'll gain a deeper understanding of plant control and design tools to help optimize your building's energy usage and sustainability.
ASHRAE Guideline 36 provides uniform sequences of operation for HVAC systems that are intended to maximize the systems' energy efficiency and performance, provide control stability, and allow for real-time fault detection and diagnostics. This presentation covers updates to the guideline, concentrates on hydronic and airside systems, and methods to deliver control systems using the guidance provided.
The use of electrified heating solutions has moved to the forefront of hydronic heating design and can be daunting to many design engineers‒specifically in the retrofit market. Eighty percent of buildings that will be operational in 2050 have already been built and the approach to electrified heating systems varies from building to building. In this program we will discuss a variety of concepts to successfully enable electrification in the retrofit market.
This program will provide an introduction to a variety of heat pump configurations‒ from traditional heat pumps to dual fuel heat pumps‒available to support electrification and decarbonization initiatives. Review of heat pump terminology and proper sizing of heat pumps based on ASHRAE climate zones will be discussed. We will also cover selection of auxiliary heat, CO2 emission reduction, and energy consumption as compared to traditional gas/electric and electric/electric rooftop units.
