Louisville, Kentucky
Trane is a leading global provider of both residential and commercial HVAC solutions which improve indoor environmental quality. Kerr-Greulich Engineers has worked with Harshaw Trane for the past two decades and we were pleased to be a part of the design team for their new LEED certified headquarters.
Highlights of the KGEI design include:
Kerr-Greulich provided a comprehensive life-cycle cost analysis for several HVAC systems. The owner wanted an unbiased evaluation with hard data and evidence to support the conclusions.
The life-cycle was extended to evaluate a low velocity duct system versus medium and high velocity comparing initial duct costs to increased fan horsepower in operating costs.
The system selected was a single duct, variable air volume system with energy recovery.
A central Building Automation System to control the environment, energy use, and lighting.
The support of this effort and the overall system selections are evidence of Harshaw Trane's commitment to sustainable design and the environment.
