COMPANY: Trane, Piscataway, N.J.
INSTALLATION:The Trane Tracer ES™ Controls and CenTraVac®
Chillers
COMPLETION:Scheduled for 2010
CUSTOMER: Decatur Central High School, Indianapolis
OBJECTIVE:Create classrooms with less noise and more energy
efficiency.
DESCRIPTION:Rather than build a new high school in
Indianapolis, Decatur Central High School administrators have opted to keep the
1960s building open while renovations are completed in phases between now and
2010. “The renovation will include new instructional wings and the renovation
of the fine arts area and athletic areas,” said Dave Rather, Decatur’s
assistant superintendent. “Our goals are to increase learning capacity and to
create high performance classrooms that are efficient, safe, quiet, and
conducive to teaching and learning.” Decatur Central selected Trane to provide
an integrated HVAC system that includes: Trane Tracer ES™ controls and two
570-ton CenTraVac® centrifugal chillers. Tracer ES is a Web-based program that
provides a view into all of a building’s control systems with simplified
integration and compatibility. Tracer ES allows the troubleshooting of system
problems remotely as well as tracks and analyzes data over time.
