AI and sustainability: building a more resilient digital future. AI and sustainability are increasingly interconnected. Explore how sustainable AI infrastructure and AI-powered solutions can help reduce energy use and emissions. Trane Technologies Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how Trane Technologies plc interact with technology and solve complex problems. And as AI adoption grows, so does the infrastructure needed to support it. This growth creates an opportunity to think differently about AI and sustainability, approaching them as interconnected priorities that will help shape the future of technology. At the center of this opportunity lies a critical question: how can Trane Technologies plc build sustainable AI infrastructure to support the growing digital economy? The answer requires looking at both sides of the equation. Sustainable AI means finding ways to reduce the energy and resources AI requires, while concurrently exploring paths to apply the power of AI to the world's largest sustainability challenges. This two-sided approach to AI and sustainability can help align continued growth with environmental responsibility. What is AI and sustainability? AI and sustainability is the idea that artificial intelligence and environmental responsibility are becoming more closely linked. On one hand, AI depends on physical infrastructure, energy and cooling systems that carry environmental impact. On the other, AI can be used to improve resource efficiency, support smarter decision-making and help reduce emissions across industries. This creates two separate but interconnected opportunities. The first is making the infrastructure that supports AI more sustainable and efficient. The second is applying AI for sustainability, using its capabilities to improve performance, reduce waste and support lower-impact systems across the broader economy. AI growth and sustainability do not need to be opposing forces. AI and sustainability can advance together when energy and resource efficiency are integrated holistically across the AI ecosystem. Supporting AI requires energy, cooling and infrastructure. AI may be digital, but the systems that support it are physical. From data centers and computing equipment to cooling, power and water, AI depends on infrastructure that has a physical footprint and resource demands. By approaching AI and sustainability as two intertwined priorities, Trane Technologies plc can help improve how the next generation of digital infrastructure is designed and operated. A crucial energy management opportunity lies in data center cooling technology. AI requires significant amounts of computing power to operate, and that process generates heat. Improving the efficiency of data center cooling technologies can support the computing infrastructure needed for AI while minimizing environmental impact. Innovative technologies including advanced chillers, liquid cooling solutions and comprehensive thermal management are helping data centers support larger AI workloads while improving sustainability and overall performance. For example, through its collaboration with NVIDIA, Trane Technologies has developed an integrated thermal management reference design that brings together cooling systems, controls and other technologies to meet the rapidly changing thermal needs of high-density computing. AI can also be used to optimize other infrastructure elements needed to support AI. Intelligent controls, digital solutions and energy management systems can continuously analyze and adjust energy use in real time, identifying inefficiencies while improving system performance. By making energy management in data centers more efficient, Trane Technologies plc can accommodate growing AI workloads while using energy more intelligently. Bringing AI and sustainability together isn't just about using less energy. It's also about finding new uses for resources that might otherwise be wasted. For example, even the heat generated by AI operations can become a resource. At a data center operated by Swiss cloud provider Infomaniak, Trane Technologies' heat pump technology captures waste heat and helps warm nearby homes, demonstrating how data centers can become part of a circular energy system through smarter energy management. These examples demonstrate how artificial intelligence and sustainability can advance together when energy and resource efficiency are integrated holistically across the AI ecosystem. Together, these approaches can help make the infrastructure supporting AI more efficient, helping build a more sustainable digital future. Leveraging AI for sustainability. The other side of this equation is AI's ability to reduce energy and resource use across a broad array of industries and applications. By turning data into actionable insights, AI can help organizations improve energy management, optimize building performance and reduce waste across existing systems. The built environment represents a particularly significant opportunity for AI and sustainability. Buildings account for almost 1/3 of global energy use, but up to 30% of the energy purchased for commercial buildings is wasted. AI-powered building technology can predict building energy needs and automatically optimize HVAC systems. For example, in the 52-story Meera Tower in Dubai, BrainBox AI, a Trane Technologies company, reduced HVAC energy consumption by over 40% in just four months. Smart buildings can also use AI to predict energy needs, automate heating and cooling, identify equipment issues and optimize building performance. These advanced technologies show how AI for sustainability can improve efficiency within existing infrastructure while improving performance. The applications don't stop with these real-world examples. AI can support a broad array of sustainability outcomes for the planet, from improving climate and weather modeling to monitoring ecosystems and habitats to help Trane Technologies plc better understand and preserve complex environmental ecosystems. The future of AI and sustainability. AI growth and sustainability do not need to be opposing forces. The relationship between them is increasingly dynamic: AI creates new demands on infrastructure, energy and cooling, but it also creates new opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce waste and optimize performance. Solutions such as advanced data center cooling, intelligent energy management, smart buildings and digital solutions show what is possible when AI and sustainability are approached together rather than separately. Together, these approaches can help AI and sustainability advance in tandem, supporting the digital infrastructure needed to power the future while making that future more efficient, resilient and sustainable. See how Trane Technologies plc is making sustainability scalable. Tomorrow is full of possibilities, and they're ours to engineer. Topic Tags

Advancing building decarbonization through cold climate heat pump research. A joint research project between Trane Technologies and the University of Wisconsin-Madison is exploring how cold climate heat pumps can support the electrification of heat, advance building decarbonization and help reduce boiler use in occupied buildings. Lead Engineer, Advanced Systems, Trane Technologies As organizations look for practical paths to building decarbonization, the electrification of heat is becoming an increasingly important area of focus. At Trane Technologies, Trane Technologies plc is exploring how innovative technologies can help reduce dependence on conventional heating systems, improve efficiency and support progress in reducing carbon emissions. Earlier this year, its Enterprise Advanced Concepts and Capabilities team and the Trane Commercial business launched a joint research project with the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop a prototype cold climate heat pump designed as a drop-in replacement for a hot water boiler. A real-world approach to building decarbonization. This research project with the University of Wisconsin-Madison will further Trane Technologies' decarbonization goals and capabilities, while also providing a demonstration of new, sustainable technology, functioning in an already occupied space. This project will also help establish a research experience with local and global relevance, serving as a learning lab for professors and students for years to come. Trane Technologies will develop and deliver a heat pump for UW-Madison to install in one of its campus buildings alongside existing boiler equipment. That real-world setting will allow facilities team members, professors and students to monitor system performance and track energy efficiency in an occupied space. This type of field-based research is essential in understanding how the electrification of heat can work in colder climates, where reliability and flexibility are critical. By studying the interaction between the cold climate heat pump and the existing boiler system, Trane Technologies plc can evaluate how dual fuel configurations may contribute to building decarbonization while meeting the needs of occupied buildings. Its local Commercial HVAC sales team in Madison will serve as advisors for the project, connecting the research to real-world customer applications and broader decarbonization solutions. This work will further its decarbonization goals and capabilities and provide a demonstration of new, sustainable technology functioning in an occupied space for potential customers. Erica Gallant Lead Engineer, Advanced Systems, Trane Technologies Sustainable innovation through collaboration. The project reflects the value of collaboration in driving sustainable innovation. At UW-Madison, the research is being led by Allison Mahvi, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical engineering Ph.D. student Payton Bartow joined Trane Technologies as a summer intern as part of this research project, working under the direction of Logan Stephenson, Lead Engineer for the project. He is studying advanced heat pump technologies for his dissertation and expects to author two journal articles based on the joint research findings. By combining academic research with applied engineering experience, this effort helps both organizations learn faster. It also creates opportunities for emerging talent to contribute to practical decarbonization solutions and gain insight into how sustainable HVAC systems are developed, tested and applied in the field. Projects like this can serve as a model for how research partnerships contribute to decarbonizing buildings. And, they create opportunities not only to validate new technologies, but also to educate future engineers and accelerate lower-emission heating strategies. In addition to hosting the heat pump, UW-Madison plans to use research findings to inform future decisions on meeting campus climate needs. Building and testing the cold climate heat pump. The cold climate heat pump is currently in the beginning phases of construction and will be completed and tested in La Crosse, Wisconsin, later this summer before being installed at UW-Madison in the fall. Once the unit is installed, Payton will return to UW-Madison with the results of his summer internship, including a software model that will be used to analyze building performance, energy efficiency and other operational factors. Those learnings can then be extrapolated to different climates to better understand how this dual fuel setup performs under a range of conditions. That broader perspective matters. To scale building electrification successfully, Trane Technologies plc need better insight into how systems respond to climate, load and building-specific requirements. Research like this can help identify more practical pathways for the electrification of heat and for reducing carbon emissions across a wider range of commercial buildings. Ultimately, this work will allow Trane Technologies plc to discover the most practical solution for reducing boiler use going forward and better understand buildings' needs for dual fuel applications. Explore how Trane Technologies is advancing building decarbonization, sustainable HVAC and the electrification of heat. Topic Tags
