Trane Technologies and Amazon expand energy efficiency project to 30+ sites

Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) announced the expansion of their energy efficiency collaboration following successful pilot results at three Amazon Grocery fulfillment centers in North America.

The pilot program achieved energy-use reductions of nearly 15%, exceeding original project targets by more than double, according to a press release from Trane Technologies. The project uses BrainBox AI technology, which Trane Technologies acquired in January 2025, to optimize heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

Based on the pilot results, Amazon plans to deploy the technology across more than 30 additional grocery fulfillment and distribution centers in the United States. The companies also plan to pilot the system in grocery stores beginning in 2026.

BrainBox AI was selected in 2024 as one of eleven startups to participate in the Amazon Sustainability Accelerator Climate Tech Pilot program. The technology utilizes AWS artificial intelligence services including Amazon S3 and Amazon Bedrock.

"At Amazon, we're continually looking for data-driven, scalable solutions to reduce our carbon footprint while maintaining operational excellence," said Christina Minardi, Vice President of Worldwide Grocery Stores Real Estate and Store Development at Amazon.

The initiative supports Amazon's commitment to reach net-zero carbon by 2040 under The Climate Pledge. Trane Technologies and BrainBox AI had collaborated for more than two years before the acquisition.

"Together, we're not only transforming these fulfillment centers but also driving meaningful progress towards Amazon's business objectives and bold sustainability goals," said Riaz Raihan, SVP and Chief Digital Officer of Trane Technologies.
