Trane: New Mexico's VRF Lab: Sustainability and Training for a Decarbonized Future

Discover the story behind New Mexico's VRF Lab, a state-of-the-art training facility created by Trane and SMART Local Union 49 to provide comprehensive VRF and BAS training.
Trane® Area Contracting Manager Larry Anderson was actively networking in the community, seeking to identify the needs and raise awareness of Trane by Trane Technologies, a leader in climate solutions products. His goal was to help increase knowledge and provide training that maximizes the impact of skilled professionals in the market. During one of these efforts, he engaged in a conversation with Sheet Metal, Air, Rail & Transportation (SMART) Local Union 49 Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (LU 49 JATC) President Chuck Lee about the evolving potential of Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) technology and Building Automation Systems (BAS) in the region.
