Case Study: Town of Oro Valley achieves energy and water savings with Trane Commercial HVAC

Oro Valley Community Center

The Town of Oro Valley sought to upgrade its newly acquired community center, which had inefficient building systems and high energy consumption. With no immediate funds available for the necessary infrastructure improvements, the town challenged Trane Commercial to find a creative, budget-neutral solution.

Trane implemented a comprehensive performance contract, funding the upgrades through guaranteed future savings. The solution included installing energy-efficient HVAC systems, LED lighting, and a Tracer building automation system with Air-Fi wireless controls for integrated management of the facility and its golf course irrigation. This project by Trane saves the town over $162,000 in combined energy and water costs annually and earned $30,000 in utility rebates, all while significantly improving comfort and operational control.
