Trane – by Trane Technologies, a global climate innovator, has introduced Trane Autonomous Control powered by BrainBox AI to help building owners and operators increase energy efficiency. Trane Autonomous Control reduces energy consumption and minimizes carbon emissions with the power of artificial intelligence (AI).

"For building owners and operators looking for ways to help to decarbonize and reduce energy consumption, Trane Autonomous Control continuously optimizes system performance using predictive data," said David Molin, vice president of Trane Product Management. "Augmenting controls systems with AI-enabled solutions creates smarter systems, propels buildings to reach energy reduction goals, and accelerates the pathway to decarbonization."          

Trane Autonomous Control uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automatically identify and perform system optimization actions 24 hours a day, seven days a week. An enhancement to existing Trane Tracer SC+ systems, it is self-motivated, constantly observing, correcting, and improving. Available as a secure, cloud-based service offering that requires no additional hardware, Trane Autonomous Control is a highly scalable artificial intelligence tool that can support multiple buildings with a single solution.

It augments current control systems, enabling users to accomplish the following:

• Capture and synthesize a wealth of real-time and predictive data, including occupancy levels, weather patterns, and system performance information, to optimize efficiency and carbon reduction without sacrificing comfort.
• Improve system performance and reduce operating and maintenance costs without investing in additional equipment or overburdening employees.
• Support sustainability goals by reducing energy use and minimizing carbon emissions.
