Outstanding Comfort

Trane created the Light Commercial

Integrated Comfort™ System to give

customers the best in light commercial

building management.

Voyager, Precedent, Tracker, and VariTrac

zoning work with individual sensors to

intelligently manage temperature and

control air volume. No more baking in

some areas, while freezing in others.

• Energy Efficiency

Zoning and scheduling save money and

energy by reducing equipment runtime,

and allow the use of smaller capacity

units.

• Easy Installation and Operation

The system automatically configures at

start up, begins to provide comfort, and

awaits the customer’s own schedule.

• Indoor Air Quality

By monitoring indoor air quality with

Trane CO2 sensors and adjusting the

intake of fresh air, Trane ensures superb

ventilation. Trane Light Commercial ICS

lets building occupants breathe easier.

. . . Zoning for Comfort

Airside Zoning

One unit, multiple thermostats – that’s

airside zoning.

Airside zoning provides multiple zone

control using a single HVAC unit and

multiple zone dampers. An individual

space sensor controls each damper, or

group of dampers.

By combining sensors, dampers, and a

VariTrac Central Control Panel, the

VariTrac system provides individual

temperature and air volume control to

multiple zones from a single HVAC unit.

Through constant monitoring of zones,

the VariTrac system maintains optimum

comfort, ventilation, and energy

efficiency.

Combination Zoning

Combination zoning incorporates both

multiple and airside zoning methods.

Some buildings have multiple HVAC

units serving single areas and other

HVAC units which are zoned with

VariTrac dampers and space sensors.

Tracker can be the scheduler and

operator panel for multiple VariTrac

zoning systems and multiple stand-alone

HVAC units. In addition, Tracker can

support units without microprocessor

controls as well as other equipment,

such as lights and exhaust fans by using

input/output controllers.

Zoning with Multiple Units

The multiple HVAC unit method of

zoning gives each zone access to an

individual unit and sensor.

Zones are usually configured by floor,

wing, or by departments with similar

environment control needs.

Tracker provides superior zone control

over multiple conventional

programmable thermostats.

(ICS).

The Tr a c k e r building management panel

provides microelectronic control and

communicates with multiple rooftops

and VariTrac systems. This two-way

communication provides status points

and alarm messages through a

communications link, creating a total

Integrated Comfort System (ICS).

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of buying HVAC and electronic controls from a

single source?

Having one company to deal with reduces the design and delivery variables. If problems arise

during commissioning or afterwards, there’s no question about whether it’s a control or

equipment issue.

How does zoning improve comfort?

Zoning provides heating or cooling in areas based on the comfort needs of building occupants in those

specific areas.

Will a zoning system be difficult to install and program?

Each of the system components is carefully designed to be easy to install. Control panel enclosures streamline the

work of wiring. The Trane system intelligently configures itself to operate with little additional programming.

Is zoning affordable for light commercial applications?

Yes. When compared to using programmable thermostats, a Trane unitary zoning system is price competitive and

delivers greater functionality.

Will the building staff be able to control the system?

The touch screen interface on Tracker makes it easy for occasional users to check or change settings.

How can the Trane Light Commercial Integrated Comfort System help hold the line on energy

costs?

Everyone is concerned about energy these days. Zoning saves money and energy in three ways. Zoning

runs HVAC units for a particular zone only when needed. It allows the system designer to use smaller

capacity units and still meet comfort requirements. Zoning can employ a demand limiting strategy

to reduce energy use during peak periods.

What about indoor air quality?

The Trane light commercial system meets ASHRAE 62.99 by performing DCV

(Demand Control Ventilation). The system monitors the CO

2

levels in each zone

and modulates the CFM of outside air based on the most critical zone. The

benefits of proper ventilation include fresh air for the occupants and

reduced operating costs when the space is occupied.
