Trane Tracer Software ((full)) Official

“It used to take two guys three days to commission a new air handler,” says veteran HVAC tech Mike Rios. “Now, one guy with a Tracer laptop does it in four hours. It shows you exactly which sensor is drifting out of spec before the building even complains about being hot.” Tracer is not alone. It competes directly with Siemens Desigo, Honeywell Enterprise Builder, and Johnson Controls Metasys. Where Tracer excels is in chiller plant optimization —specifically its Trane Chiller Plant Control software, which dynamically decides how many chillers, pumps, and cooling towers to run to hit the load at the highest possible efficiency.

Consider a 500,000-square-foot office tower. A standard schedule-based system might run the air handler from 6 AM to 6 PM. Tracer uses and supply air temperature reset algorithms. It asks: Do we really need 55-degree supply air when it is 50 degrees outside and the office is half empty? trane tracer software
