Trane Leader Presents Business Case for High Performance Buildings at GLOBALCON 2012
- Neil Maldeis to discuss how building assets help achieve business objectives -
Atlantic City, N.J., March 7, 2012 - According to the National Institute of Building Sciences, using highperformance
heating, ventilating and cooling (HVAC) systems in conjunction with a whole-building design can
result in energy cost savings of 30 percent and a simple payback period of three to five years.
Neil Maldeis, energy solutions engineering manager for Trane, a leading global provider of indoor comfort systems
and solutions and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, will discuss how high performance buildings reduce lifecycle costs
with attendees at the GLOBALCON 2012 conference.
High performance buildings are created using a unique methodology that allows organizations to invest in other
priorities and assure that building assets are directly linked to delivering organizational objectives.
During his presentation, Maldeis will share the business case for high performance buildings, including:
o Why and how to assess and understand every building's primary "mission"
o How to best leverage data and information for better decision-making
o How to establish a "future state" operating vision and measure it
