Case Study: Gundersen Health System achieves $1.25M annual energy savings with Trane Commercial HVAC

Gundersen Health System

Gundersen Health System, a physician-led healthcare network, was facing escalating energy costs that were increasing by $350,000 annually. To lower consumption and support its sustainability mission, the health system partnered with Trane Commercial. Their challenge was to reduce energy usage and work toward an ambitious goal of achieving energy independence by 2014.

Trane implemented a comprehensive retrocommissioning process and installed a Tracer Summit Building Automation System to optimize operations. Additional solutions included high-efficiency Trane Climate Changer air handlers and CenTraVac chillers. These efforts resulted in a 25% reduction in energy intensity and $1.25 million in annual energy cost savings for Gundersen Health System, directly supporting their financial and environmental objectives.
