Case Study: Saks Fifth Avenue avoids Fashion Week disruption with Trane Commercial HVAC rental chiller solution

Saks Fifth Avenue installs a rental chiller in 2 nights with Trane Commercial

Saks Fifth Avenue faced a critical challenge when a chiller failed less than a month before the high-profile Fashion Week. With two remaining chillers unable to handle the August heat and humidity, the retailer needed a fast and efficient solution to restore cooling capacity. They called on Trane Commercial for assistance, specifically leveraging Trane's Rental Services.

Trane implemented a creative solution by designing and installing a steel support structure to place a rental chiller on a setback of the historic building's eighth floor. This allowed the installation to proceed without impacting the building's façade and was completed quickly despite a hurricane. The result was that Saks Fifth Avenue maintained a comfortable climate for Fashion Week events without disruption. Trane's work was completed on time and on budget, saving the high-profile events and allowing the customer to focus on their preparations.
