Decarbonization: A Discussion

Ottawa, ON | December 7, 2023

Trane has gathered our subject matter experts across the organization to bring you answers.

In 2022, the Government of Canada published Canada's 2030 Emission Reduction Plan detailing what is needed to reach an ambitious climate target of 40-45% emissions by 2030. Now is the time to get ahead of the curve and learn about how to accomplish carbon targets that will become more aggressive in years to come.

The journey to decarbonize your building is uniquely yours and Trane can meet you at any point. Whether policy, regulations or your own ESG goals are motivating your building to change, Trane has the answers.
