Integrated Comfort™
System (ICS)
Trane integrated rooftop systems make
design and installation of rooftop
comfort systems profitable and easy. The
Integrated Comfort™ system (ICS)
improves job profit and increases job
control by combining Trane rooftop units
and a Tracer
®
building management
system. This integrated system provides
total building comfort and control. The
primary motivation for building owners/
managers in making the purchasing
decision of HVAC controls system is no
longer just saving energy; it is having the
ability to automate their facilities and the
convenience of interface to control
systems.
Simplifying The Comfort System
At Trane, we think new technology and
innovation should bring you more
capabilities, more flexibility and at the
same time be able to give you
equipment and systems that are easier
to use, easier to install, commission and
service. The Rooftop Integrated Comfort
system saves you time and money by
simplifying system design and system
installation. When used with Trane’s DDC/
VAV boxes (or VariTrane™), system
balancing almost goes away because
each VAV box is commission and tested
before it leaves the factory. All the status
information and editing data from the
rooftop units, VAV boxes, lighting,
exhaust and other auxiliary equipment is
available from Tracer for control,
monitoring and service support of your
facility. Tracer, a family of building
automation products from Trane, is
designed with robust, application
specific software packages to minimize
custom programming requirements and
enable system setup and control
through simple editing of parameters in
the standard applications software.
Should you select an Integrated Comfort
system for your facility, the
accountability for equipment,
automation and controls is Trane’s,
Trane’s, and Trane’s!
The IntelliPak
®
rooftop, as a part of an
Integrated Comfort system, provides
powerful maintenance monitoring,
control and reporting capabilities. The
Tracer places the rooftop in the
appropriate operating mode for
operation for: system on/off, night
setback, demand limiting , setpoint
adjustment based on outside
parameters and much more. Up to 48
different unit diagnostic conditions can
be monitored through Tracer to let you
know about things like: sensor failures,
loss of supply airflow, and a compressor
trip out. Further, the addition of Building
Management Network software offers
remote scanning, automatic receipt of
alarms, and easy dial-up access to over
100 various Tracer sites across town or
across the country.
