Case Study: Baylor College of Medicine achieves storm-ready cooling capacity with Trane/TAS Modular Chiller Plant

Baylor College of Medicine

Baylor College of Medicine, a healthcare institution in Houston, faced a critical challenge after its central chiller plant was flooded by a tropical storm. With limited space on campus, building a new standby plant to prevent future disaster loss initially seemed infeasible. They turned to Trane Commercial and its representative, Hunton Trane, for a solution.

Trane Commercial provided a solution through a Trane/TAS Modular Chiller Plant constructed over an existing parking area. This approach solved the space and construction cost issues. The resulting 5000-ton plant is the largest of its kind for comfort cooling and is up to 15% more efficient than the college's previous chillers. Baylor College of Medicine now has a storm-ready standby plant, ensuring the protection of vital research data.
