How Trane can help with LEED Credits
At Trane, we believe that sustainable construction and reduced environmental impact are more than just a trend; they are good business and wise ways to reduce the impact we have on the Earth as a safeguard for future generations. We have become an HVAC industry leader when it comes to green buildings because, virtually by definition, a green building is a High Performance Building.
We partner with a number of industry and construction organizations, sharing information and resources to provide increased awareness of the importance of sustainable building practices and the energy and financial efficiencies associated with them. We have made a major commitment towards USGBC’s LEED building certification program. Depending on the proper application and configuration, Trane products and services can potentially help a customer reach the following LEED credits listed below.
Our detailed Submittal Information specifically outlines how Trane solutions can contribute to each individual LEED credit in varied applications.
