Case Study: Bank of America Stadium achieves greater cooling capacity and $80,000 in annual savings with Trane Commercial

Bank of America Stadium saves $80,000 annually with Trane Commercial

Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, faced significant challenges with its aging HVAC infrastructure, including insufficient cooling capacity, high energy costs, and the need to maintain operations during a short off-season. The stadium partnered with Trane Commercial to implement a comprehensive upgrade, which included new chillers and advanced building automation controls, to improve reliability and comfort for fans and players.

Trane implemented a turnkey solution that involved installing new high-efficiency CenTraVac chillers, converting the piping system to variable flow, and integrating a Tracer building management system. This project increased cooling capacity, improved system efficiency, and provided the stadium with remote control capabilities. The upgrades are projected to save $80,000 annually in energy costs, and Trane helped the facility secure utility rebates.
