Case Study: Owensboro Health Regional Hospital achieves $600,000 in energy savings with Trane Commercial

Owensboro Health Regional Hospital - Customer Case Study

Owensboro Health Regional Hospital in Owensboro, Kentucky, faced the challenge of maximizing comfort, energy efficiency, and cost savings after replacing its 75-year-old flagship hospital with a new medical complex. Although the new facility already had advanced equipment and controls, the health system needed outside expertise to get more value from its investment, so it turned to Trane Commercial for help with controls optimization and Intelligent Services.

Trane Commercial implemented building controls optimization, Tracer Ensemble building management, Energy Assessment, Building Performance, and Active Monitoring to fine-tune HVAC operations, manage alarms remotely, and identify energy-saving opportunities. The hospital added measures such as LED lighting, motion sensors, and HVAC setback scheduling for operating rooms, resulting in about $600,000 in savings over 19 months, improved comfort and reliability, and recognition with the Kentucky Excellence in Energy Leadership Award.
