It's about unnecessary heat, and it's about the reduction in the use of fossil fuels, explains Riaz Raihan, Chief Digital Officer, Trane Technologies. "Digital technology can play a really vital and a very tangible role.” And you can see how it connects back to our vision of challenging what's possible for a sustainable world.”
