Once your building is connected, we can help you establish a more proactive approach to maintaining the control system and keeping it optimized. Our digital services use your systems’ data and Trane analytics to create informative dashboards that describe the performance of your building and its assets, like the HVAC equipment. You’ll discover opportunities to decrease energy use and increase productivity through system optimization. Worried about energy costs? We can help. The first step to making improvements is knowing where performance currently stands, so we’ll begin by taking baseline energy measurements.
It’s important to maintain the mechanical equipment in your building. It’s equally important to maintain the building automation system by keeping software and hardware up to date. Trane regularly introduces protections against the latest cyber security threats and introduces incremental productivity improvements. Our cloud solutions ensure that you’ll automatically receive upgrades as soon as they are released.
At Trane, we take cyber threats very seriously by integrating cybersecurity best practices into our entire line-up of building automation systems. Our controls are designed to proactively provide protection against incidents using tools such as encryption, multiple layers of access control and authentication to protect your data.

SCDOT wanted to be able to manage issues on their own, and a key factor that allowed them to do so was the conversion of the building’s pneumatic controls to a Trane Tracer Ensemble web-enabled enterprise-wide, building management system (BMS). This BMS enables the SCDOT management team to remotely monitor vital building performance metrics, manage energy use, access long-term data collection, generate reports, and identify improvement opportunities for more informed decision making and increased productivity.
