BrainBox AI, a pioneer in autonomous decarbonization for the built environment, is pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with Trane–by Trane Technologies, a climate innovator.
The collaboration paves the way for the companies to create a one-of-a-kind solution that couples Trane’s cloud-based Tracer SC+ building automation system with BrainBox AI’s autonomous decarbonizing AI-tech to help Trane customers further reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) emissions and unlock operational cost savings.

HVAC systems are liable for 40% of building energy consumption, 30% of which is wasted
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are responsible for 40% of building energy consumption, 30% of which is wasted. BrainBox AI and Trane’s joint efforts will help address this void by bringing to market unmatched decarbonization and energy efficiency technology, with a focus on existing HVAC systems of multi-site retailers across North America.
With BrainBox AI, Trane customers will have the opportunity to benefit from cloud-based optimization solutions that autonomously send real-time control commands to their HVAC systems. Factoring in weather forecasts, control schedules and sequences, as well as occupancy patterns, these commands are based on the AI’s sophisticated predictions of each zone’s thermal behavior and ensure the HVAC equipment only runs when needed while ensuring occupant comfort.
Trane’s advanced building controls
“Trane is proud to collaborate with BrainBox AI on new solutions that will help our customers accelerate their decarbonization goals and contribute to a more sustainable future,” said Dave Molin, vice president, Product Management, Trane Technologies.
