Case Study: Long Beach City College achieves energy savings and improved comfort with Trane Commercial HVAC

Long Beach City College

Long Beach City College, one of the largest districts in the California Community College System, faced a challenge with its central chiller plants as campus demand grew. The college needed to optimize operations, increase redundancy, and improve efficiency to support future expansion. They partnered with Trane Commercial to address these needs.

Trane implemented several energy conservation measures, including installing a new high-efficiency CenTraVac chiller, upgrading controls, adding pumps with variable frequency drives, and optimizing the entire HVAC system. These solutions resulted in annual energy savings of over $135,000 and secured rebates exceeding $270,000. The project also improved comfort for students and staff.
