Trane Technologies is expanding its artificial intelligence (AI) offerings for building owners and facilities teams, including a new maintenance platform designed to centralize equipment records and maintenance workflows and help inform repair and replacement decisions.

The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and climate control equipment manufacturer announced that the offerings will span building analytics, maintenance management, connected controls and thermal management.

“As building operations become more connected and more complex, we’re evolving our AI and digital portfolio to help customers operate with greater clarity and control,” said Chris Tanaka, vice president of product management at Trane Technologies.

Trane Technologies’ Maintenance Manager

Maintenance Manager centralizes all the pieces that go into facility management. The company said it connects work orders, asset records, repair history and supporting documentation in one system.

Trane Technologies said it enables better coordination between service teams and more informed decisions about whether to repair aging equipment or begin planning for replacements.

“With Trane Cloud Analytics and Maintenance Manager, customers can connect building data, service workflows and asset history to support earlier action, better coordination and more informed planning,” Tanaka said. “Across the broader portfolio, these new solutions extend that same approach into controls and system management to help customers improve performance and reduce waste over time.”

The rest of Trane’s new product suite

And beyond Maintenance Manager, the Sept. 17 announcement covers several other tools.

Trane Cloud Analytics gives teams access to performance trends and efficiency gaps from connected building equipment. The company also designed a new Cloud Connected BACnet Thermostat to bring cloud-based building management to light commercial buildings that don’t have a full-building management system in place.

Tracer Zone Sensors are designed to simplify installation and setup for new construction and retrofit projects, and AI Control for Water Systems adjusts chiller plants to improve efficiency across existing infrastructure.

For data centers specifically, the announcement includes Chiller Plant Management and Data Hall Team Control. Both are designed to coordinate climate control over complex environments.

“As data center growth drives higher cooling loads, tighter performance requirements and faster response expectations, thermal management is becoming increasingly integral to uptime, efficiency and long-term infrastructure strategy,” said Oakley Roberts, president of data centers at Trane Technologies. “Intelligent, coordinated cooling systems are becoming essential to operating modern AI and mission-critical infrastructure at scale. These innovations help customers improve available capacity, strengthen resilience and maintain consistent thermal performance as computing demands continue to accelerate.”

How Trane got here

Trane has invested in AI technology for years. In 2024, Trane Technologies acquired BrainBox AI.

BrainBox AI is a Montreal-based company that had developed an AI platform to predict energy needs and automate HVAC operations. That acquisition built on a two-year collaboration between the companies. It also brought BrainBox’s predictive control capabilities directly into Trane’s product development pipeline.

In 2025, Trane opened a dedicated BrainBox AI lab and showroom focused on AI and energy management in buildings.

The investment in AI has occurred alongside growth for Trane. In its most recent fiscal quarter ended June 30, bookings were up 39% year over year. Meanwhile, net revenue grew 11% over the same period, to $6.35 billion.
