Case Study: Fergus Falls Area Family YMCA achieves 40% annual energy savings with Trane Commercial controls reconfiguration

Fergus Falls Area Family YMCA - Customer Case Study

Fergus Falls Area Family YMCA, a 96,000 sq. ft. community fitness facility in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, was facing high energy costs and comfort problems caused by HVAC rooftop units that were not operating efficiently. The YMCA turned to Trane Commercial for help with its building controls system, seeking better operation of the facility’s Trane building automation system and lower energy use.

Trane Commercial reconfigured the controls system, corrected scheduling, adjusted set points, improved equipment sequences, and trained staff on proper system operation through a controls service agreement. The result was an estimated 40 percent annual energy savings, improved comfort, and budget savings that the YMCA could redirect toward debt reduction and capital improvements.
