Case Study: Discovery Bay Resort achieves reliable comfort and lower energy costs with Trane Commercial HVAC chiller solution

Discovery Bay Resort cuts design and installation costs by 50% with Trane Commercial

Discovery Bay Resort, a luxury resort in Kelowna, British Columbia, was facing frequent equipment failures and high maintenance costs due to a failing geo-thermal system. This led to significant comfort issues for occupants and rental income loss. Additional challenges for replacing the system included strict noise abatement requirements and severe space limitations that made a conventional installation impossible. They contacted Trane Commercial for a solution.

Trane implemented an air-cooled chiller with InvisiSound Ultimate acoustic treatment. The solution provided reliable comfort, operated at acceptable noise levels despite being installed near condos, and fit within the resort's limited space. The project resulted in a 50 percent reduction in design and installation costs compared to competitor solutions, along with lower energy consumption and a dramatic decrease in maintenance needs. Trane ensured the resort's budget was met and occupant satisfaction was greatly improved.
