Electrified HVAC

Hybrid and all-electric heating advance a decarbonized future.

How We Design Sustainable HVAC Systems

Trane designs electric HVAC systems choosing equipment and components that make sense for each application. Rather than generating heat, our systems move heat from one location to another—we’ll look at the heat in your building load or process cooling load, the outdoor air, wastewater or water treatment sources and identify the right heat source for you. From there, we can configure systems to meet the temperature, flows and redundancy requirements for year-round heating and cooling—in a broad range of climate zones.

Better electric technology, better decarb results

Improved technologies mean building owners can electrify to eliminate emissions while reliably keeping occupants comfortable. Depending on your needs, the best system may be all-electric or hybrid gas/electric. Your local Trane account manager can help you decide. The technology that enables electric heating for commercial buildings is continuously evolving. Collaborate with Trane to weigh the pros and cons of each and make the best decision for your application.

Get started

You may consider adding the following into your system:

  • Heat pumps

    A key enabler for decarbonization. Because they move energy rather than generate it, a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than other forms of electric heating.

  • Dual fuel

    Hybrid systems combine gas and electric heating, switching between the two as outdoor conditions change to achieve the highest efficiency.

  • Heat recovery

    An efficient and simple way to electrify heat, because heat recovery recycles heat that would normally be wasted in the cooling process and instead uses it to heat the building

  • Energy storage

    Capture and store thermal energy via the electrical grid or reclaim thermal sources to be discharged for heating and cooling systems 

Any building can electrify HVAC

Trane has a range of electric heating solutions to help you decarbonize. Your local Trane office can assess your needs and recommend the best option.

Chillers

Chillers today can do more than cool spaces. Many models can be configured with heat pumps and heat recovery to provide simultaneous cooling and heating.
