Case Study: St. Margaret's Daughters Home restores reliable comfort with Trane Commercial HVAC and rental chiller support

St. Margaret's Daughters Home - Customer Case Study

St. Margaret’s Daughters Home, a faith-based nonprofit nursing facility in New Orleans, was devastated by Hurricane Katrina and needed a fast way to restore heating and cooling after relocating residents to a temporary home. The building required a complete HVAC renovation, but residents and staff still needed a comfortable, safe indoor environment right away.

Trane Commercial responded with a 60-ton rental chiller, chilled water pump, and temporary piping that were up and running within days, while its New Orleans team designed and installed a permanent HVAC system with 100-ton chillers, pumps, boilers, domestic hot water heaters, and a Tracer Summit building automation system. Trane Commercial’s quick temporary solution helped keep the St. Margaret’s family together, and its permanent system delivered a modern, efficient HVAC infrastructure for the restored facility.
