Trane Technologies launches AI lab for building energy optimization

SWORDS, IRELAND - Trane Technologies (NYSE:TT), a $96 billion market cap leader in building products with over $20.7 billion in annual revenue, announced Tuesday the launch of its BrainBox AI Lab, focused on advancing energy optimization technologies for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings and refrigerated transport. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated strong growth with revenue increasing 10.2% over the last twelve months.

The new lab will serve as a research hub for developing autonomous control systems, predictive models, and algorithms aimed at reducing emissions through more efficient energy use in building operations.

"Through the BrainBox AI Lab, we are bringing together world-class talent and industry-leading technology to shape the next generation of climate innovation," said Riaz Raihan, Chief Digital Officer at Trane Technologies.

The lab will be led by Jean-Simon Venne, President at BrainBox AI, and will employ a team of technical experts including software engineers, data scientists, and AI researchers. Its work will focus on four key areas: product creation, research and development, ethics, and sustainability.

Trane Technologies acquired BrainBox AI in January 2025, following a two-year collaboration between the companies. The acquisition was made in response to increasing demand for sustainable, autonomous building solutions.

The lab’s initiatives align with Trane Technologies’ 2030 Sustainability Commitments, according to the company’s press release statement. The company aims to use artificial intelligence to support energy optimization and reduce global carbon emissions across its operations.

Trane Technologies, which operates through its brands Trane and Thermo King, provides climate solutions for buildings, homes, and transportation. While the company currently trades at a premium valuation with a P/E ratio of 33.7, suggesting it’s trading above its Fair Value, investors can access detailed valuation analysis and 13 additional ProTips through InvestingPro’s comprehensive research reports.
