Ever since Trane developed our first integrated controls to manage comfort and energy use, Trane controls have grown steadily in functionality and sophistication. While our controls are not limited to HVAC equipment, they are engineered to reflect our deep understanding of HVAC requirements and how to use HVAC systems more efficiently.

As Trane's OEM representative for Southeast Texas, the Hunton Trane team provides:

• Complete support from design through installation, warranty and service
• Systems designed to be forward and backward compatible, so that no existing customers are excluded from "new technology" and improvements
• Over 200 years of collective experience with Trane and non-Trane building management systems
• History of successful integration operations going back to the 1980's -— the result of our corporate commitment to "no bad jobs."

Building Control Concepts

ICS - Single Source Simplicity
An Integrated Comfort™ System (ICS) combines Trane HVAC equipment with factory integrated unit controls, sensors and end devices, together with the Trane Summit building automation system.

With ICS, every piece of Trane equipment from the biggest chiller to the smallest VAV box is available with fully commissioned, factory-integrated unit controllers.

Overall, owning a Trane ICS is easier because:

• The components are manufactured, installed, warranted and serviced by a single source.
• Equipment startup is expedited which enables the building to "dry out" as soon as the units are piped in and powered up.

Interoperability
Interoperability has long been a buzzword in the automation industry.

The BACnet™ standard was the first true movement toward that end. Trane quickly embraced the standard and designed Summit software based on the objects and properties defined by BACnet™.

LonTalk®, from the private sector through Echelon Corporation, introduced an additional path to "open" protocol at a lower level in the system architecture.

Trane Summit systems embrace both protocols to provide customers with:

• The easiest and most efficient integration of information.
• Freedom of choice and freedom to expand systems for other applications, such as fire, security, power monitoring.

• Operates on existing IP/TCP networks.
• Uses HTML formatting for graphical interface.
• Is available with WEB access.

As technology proceeds toward other open technology, so will we.

Trane knows building automation systems. We deliver open systems that work.
