Trane Technologies showcases residential heating at Consumer Electronics Show

Supporting the Home Connectivity Alliance’s Interface Specification 1.0, Trane Technologies driving seamless cloud-to-cloud interaction of HVAC and other smart home systems.

Trane Technologies, one of the leading global climate innovator, has joined the Home Connectivity Alliance (HCA), at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, NV to demonstrate mobile interactivity of its sustainable, energy-efficient Trane and American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning solutions with other smart home appliances and devices. Trane Home and American Standard Home are the first digital solutions in the HVAC industry to seamlessly integrate a home’s HVAC system with other smart home systems and appliances from 15 leading home solutions’ brands.

Jason Bingham, president of Trane Technologies’ Residential HVAC business, said, “Imagine a scenario in which your home’s HVAC system and appliances learn your family’s lifestyle patterns and automatically adjust their settings to maximize comfort, reduce energy consumption and deliver the ideal smart home experience. Through an integrated mobile experience and partnerships with other brands, we are putting the homeowner first, and enabling a more sustainable future.”

As a founding member of the HCA, the company has worked with other collaborators to launch the HCA Interface Specification 1.0, an industry standard for making smart homes more accessible and energy efficient for the consumer without compromising user experience or personal data. The industry specification also paves the way for connected home energy management, including data and insights to help consumers optimise energy usage and efficiency and achieve cost savings.

In December, the company has also launched Trane Link and American Standard Link – new, cutting-edge technology that enables more efficient home HVAC service calls through real-time data. Homeowners can elect to have their system remotely share configuration and performance data with their HVAC technician, for simplified installation, commissioning, monitoring and servicing of variable speed HVAC systems.
