Case Study: Murfreesboro School District meets tight funding deadlines and improves comfort with Trane Commercial

Murfreesboro School District - Customer Case Study

Murfreesboro School District, serving about 550 students in rural Murfreesboro, Arkansas, faced an urgent HVAC challenge when heat exchangers on rooftop units at its high school cracked. With limited funding and a hard state-matching deadline, the district needed to move quickly, complete the work during Christmas break, and avoid disrupting classroom activity. Trane Commercial was the vendor involved, with Trane Precedent rooftop units and a Trane Tracer SC building automation system among the products considered.

Working with Trane Commercial through the TCPN cooperative purchasing network, the district quickly secured equipment and installation without going through a lengthy bid process. Thirty Trane Precedent rooftop units were shipped and staged, then installed along with controls and automation upgrades, allowing the project to meet the funding deadline and stay on schedule. The result was faster procurement, lower selection risk, reinvestment in local labor, improved comfort and efficiency, and a more manageable facilities operation for the district.
