Trane Demonstrates How to Drive Value in Buildings At Building Owners and Managers Association International Conference

June 16, 2008 8:50 AM EDT

DENVER, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy is the single, largest operating expense in the 4.6 million-plus commercial buildings in the United States.

The continued increase in building operating expenses and the desire to be environmentally responsible is driving the agenda of the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) 2008 international conference. Trane is helping lead the charge by sharing its expertise in these areas with facility professionals.

Emerging Energy Tools & Technologies for High Performance Buildings

Scott Beckett, commercial and industrial leader for Trane, will explore ways property owners and managers can make their buildings more efficient and effective today using "Emerging Energy Tools & Technologies for High Performance Buildings."

    Details of his presentation are:

     When: June 23, 2008 from 3:30PM - 4:45PM. (Conference is June 22-24)
     Where: Colorado Conference Center, Denver, CO
     Available for media interviews upon request

Beckett will discuss "high-performance building methodology" that includes:

     -- Identifying the building goals and outcomes that property owners and
        managers want
     -- Applying energy analysis and design capabilities to ensure building
        systems meet these goals throughout the life of the building
     -- Understanding available and proven technologies for buildings
     -- Arranging for predictive service to promise that building systems
        operate with the quality and efficiency that's promised - knowing that
        reliability is key in a 24x7 operation.
