Energy security is a critical driver of our nation’s ability to sustain itself on many levels. One of the pillars of energy security is resilience, which has been a focus of many federal agencies over the last few years. This resiliency consists of the ability for a consumer to rapidly recover reliable power to critical building and campus systems. Resiliency can be achieved by synchronizing redundant systems through an advanced grid infrastructure and or having the ability to “island” or operate an independent energy microgrid until reliable primary power is accessible. Additionally, with the use of renewable energy sources on, or near, the customer site and largescale upgrades of mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems to improve energy efficiency; you can appreciate both the challenges and potential of energy security for our country. -

Chilled Water Systems: 50 Years of the Engineers Newsletter
The first-of many Trane Engineers Newsletters on chilled-water systems were published in 1973 with concentration on chilled and condenser system piping design. At that time, chilled-water systems had a constant-flow design. This began to change in the late 1970s as a new technology, the variable speed drive, was applied to chilled-water pumps. To educate the industry, “A Need for Variable Flow Chilled Water Systems” (1977), “Water Chiller (Control): Decoupler Variable Flow Systems” (1979), and “Chillers are Constant Flow Devices” (1980) were published. These articles provided background on primary-secondary (decoupled) systems which operated more efficiently and became common design practice for the next decade. -

Many of our higher education, municipal and government customers need help navigating ESSER and other funding to complete much needed upgrades. They have always had deferred maintenance on their building operations but have not had enough funding to address it. When it comes to using that funding, it looks different for each customer.

Who is servicing your grocery HVAC? (And why it could be a million-dollar question)
Data from Trane shows that 40-60% of truck rolls can be prevented with remote monitoring by factory-trained HVAC technicians. It may sound cost-effective to contract HVAC service with your refrigeration vendor. But we’ll show you why it’s the opposite. Modern mechanical systems are complex, and refrigeration technicians aren’t equipped to solve most issues. Trial and error at several hundred dollars a pop can add up quickly—in dollars, downtime and carbon emissions. -

Powhatan County Public Schools Customer Story
When leaders at Powhatan County were adding a new school building, they wanted to address a host of deferred maintenance issues that plagued four existing dark and gloomy school buildings before the new school building opened its doors. Powhatan County Public Schools leaders wanted to upgrade these existing buildings to create an equitable, optimized learning environment for all district students. Since the district lacked additional funding, Trane helped them fund the upgrades with future energy savings using a performance contract. The upgrades helped to improve the teaching and learning environment, enhancing comfort and indoor air quality while decreasing energy use and operational costs. Upgrades reduced energy costs by more than 20 percent and cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 3.3 million pounds of CO2. -

Optimizing Manufacturing Spaces: The Critical Role Process Cooling Plays in Industrial Facilities
Given all these considerations, how can organizations reduce their risk? The opportunity cost of unplanned downtime can be devastating. Whether a cooling unit is down for a day or for a week can have enormous consequences: lost revenues, damaged product or inventories, lower employee satisfaction, slower speed to market and more. For example, if a chiller goes down for one day that might mean $1 million in lost revenues. But if that chiller can’t be serviced for four days, the lost revenue is significantly greater—to the tune of $4 million. -

Run Your Healthcare Facility Like a Military Base
Imagine, if you will, a hospital without power. Severe weather took down the power lines leading to the hospital, or a cyber-attack destroyed the power station and the emergency generator stopped working. Whatever the reason, the hospital is now extremely limited in its ability to treat patients. Operating room staff are scrambling to find lights so they can finish surgeries. Nurses are using flashlights while trying to triage patients. Electronic medical records are instantly inaccessible. -

Heat Recovery: 50 Years of the Engineers Newsletter
The warmth of the summer sun feels terrific after a lengthy, frigid winter but when it gets to be too much an escape to the cool, refreshing indoor air conditioning is a welcomed break. And living in western Wisconsin I can surely claim I enjoy both -- nothing feels more rejuvenating than an air-conditioned space after a hot, sunny day on the Mississippi River! My name is Dan Gentry, and I recently celebrated my five-year anniversary with Trane; I started my career with the company in the Centrifugal Product Support group. Previously, I worked in sales support at another chiller manufacturer where I primarily focused on heat recovery and heat pump type systems. About a year ago in the spirit of leveraging and strengthening my work experience, I transitioned to the role of Applications Engineer and now work with the field to help design energy efficient systems, many of which utilize some form of heat recovery, often with heat recovery chillers. -

It is June and we are half-way through our Engineers Newsletter 50th anniversary celebration! As the temperature and humidity begin to rise, our appreciation for air-cooling equipment increases.

Over the years, seven percent of the Engineering Newsletters have covered topics involving split systems.

While this is not always the case, it is a good place to start. -

The Evolution of Changeover Systems
Many light commercial buildings have traditionally used several single-zone, packaged rooftop units with thermostats—often because better systems were thought to be too complicated and/or too expensive to install. If “zoning” was desired in these buildings, a changeover bypass system was traditionally used; this system allowed a single rooftop unit to provide independent temperature control to several zones. However, it used a constant-speed supply fan and a centralized bypass damper, resulting in higher energy use and sound levels than other system alternatives. -

4 Benefits of Preventative HVAC Maintenance for Restaurants
Heating and cooling equipment is a major expense for restaurant owners. Not only is the equipment expensive, it’s estimated that HVAC accounts for anywhere from 25% to 40% of the overall energy use in a quick-service restaurant. And according to recent studies, maintenance costs can be up to 6% of sales on average. Given how important it is to have your heating and cooling equipment functioning properly, regular maintenance should be a no-brainer. However, it’s often one of the easiest things to put off when you’re busy dealing with the day-to-day nuances of operating a successful restaurant. It’s not uncommon for restaurants managers to operate off a reactive maintenance model, but that philosophy can have detrimental impacts on the operations of the business. -
