Case Study: Municipal Square Associates cuts energy use by 35% with Trane Commercial HVAC

Municipal Square Associates cuts electricity use by 35% with Trane Commercial

Municipal Square Associates, the owner of a 100,000 sq ft commercial office building in New Jersey, faced rising utility costs and tenant comfort issues due to an aging and inefficient HVAC system. The building's entirely electric design and single-glazed windows contributed to annual energy bills of approximately $300,000. Seeking to reduce energy use and improve reliability, they partnered with Trane Commercial for an upgrade.

Trane implemented a comprehensive solution that included IntelliPak rooftop heat pump units, a Tracer ES building automation system, and a conversion to a variable air volume system. This was supported by ongoing Trane Intelligent Services for active monitoring. The project resulted in a 35% reduction in electricity use, significantly lower utility costs, and improved tenant comfort. The vendor, Trane, provided continuous monitoring with a goal of achieving 40% energy savings.
