Shooting Star Casino cuts annual energy costs by up to 35% with Trane Commercial

Shooting Star Casino, a hospitality facility owned by the White Earth Nation, faced challenges with its outdated and unreliable 25-year-old HVAC systems. The casino needed to ensure optimal comfort for guests while also aiming to reduce high energy costs, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and eliminate the excessive maintenance burden on its staff. They turned to Trane Commercial for a solution involving energy storage and system upgrades.

Trane Commercial implemented a comprehensive upgrade plan centered around a Thermal Battery energy storage system, new chillers, rooftop units, and a building automation system. This solution is expected to cut the casino's annual energy costs by up to 35%, generated a $290,000 utility rebate, and significantly reduced maintenance hours. The project also advanced the casino's sustainability goals by lowering GHG emissions and improved occupant comfort with more reliable and precise control systems.
