    AI for the Planet: From Tech Labs to Real Life

    Fighting climate change means juggling a thousand moving parts, from how we power our cities to how insects sustain our ecosystems. Artificial intelligence is uniquely equipped to take on that scale of challenge, analyzing massive data sets, predicting problems before they happen, and unlocking solutions humans alone could never achieve.  In this episode, hosts Dominique Silva and guest co-host Rebecca Handfield (BrainBox AI) speak with Jean-Simon Venne, co-founder of BrainBox AI and leader of the BrainBox business at Trane Technologies, and Dr. David Rolnick, Assistant Professor at McGill University and co-founder of Climate Change AI. They share how AI can slash building emissions, extend equipment life, and open up new frontiers in biodiversity research.  We also take a behind-the-scenes look at Trane Technologies’ new AI Lab in Montreal, where the next generation of HVAC innovation is being designed and created. With a focus on practical applications over theory, the lab is harnessing AI as a powerful ally in the fight against climate change, while keeping ethics, responsibility, and trust at the center of every breakthrough.  About Healthy Spaces  Healthy Spaces is a podcast by Trane Technologies where experts and disruptors explore how climate technology and innovation are transforming the spaces where we live, work, learn and play.   This season, hosts Dominique Silva and Scott Tew bring a fresh batch of uplifting stories, featuring inspiring people who are overcoming challenges to drive positive change across multiple industries.

    Big Things Are Possible: Scaling Sustainability

    The journey to a sustainable future is built project by project, idea by idea. That means from small businesses to schools, hospitals, and even skyscrapers with their own zip codes. The lesson is the same: when creativity, collaboration , and courage come together, big things are possible anywhere. In this episode, we speak to Dan Palino, Chief Operating Officer of New Water Street Corporation; Scott Lewin, Energy Services Leader at Trane; Holly Paeper, President of Commercial HVAC Americas at Trane Technologies; and Sydney Tharpe, Team Lead at Trane Technologies. We’ll hear how bold retrofits at 55 Water Street, the largest office building in New York City, are cutting emissions and saving millions. We’ll explore breakthrough solutions like thermal batteries and AI-powered energy optimization, why these technologies can be applied in buildings of every size, and how culture and purpose fuel the creativity that makes these innovations possible.

    The ROI of Sustainability: A CFO’s Perspective

    The intersection of finance and sustainability is dynamic and full of opportunity. Far from existing in separate lanes, the two are increasingly intertwined, working together to fuel growth, spark innovation and create lasting value. At its core, sustainability isn’t a trade-off against profitability; it’s a powerful driver of it. With the right investments, businesses can strengthen their bottom line while delivering benefits that extend to shareholders, society and the planet.  In this episode, we speak to Chris Kuehn, Chief Financial Officer at Trane Technologies, and Erin Garrity, Services Account Manager, Trane.  We take a deep dive into sustainability from the perspective of a CFO. Chris talks about the powerful venn diagram of sustainability, finance and technology; the secret sauce for company growth and how to pitch big ideas to a CFO.  About Healthy Spaces  Healthy Spaces is a podcast by Trane Technologies where experts and disruptors explore how climate technology and innovation are transforming the spaces where we live, work, learn and play.   This season, hosts Dominique Silva and Scott Tew bring a fresh batch of uplifting stories, featuring inspiring people who are overcoming challenges to drive positive change across multiple industries.

    Electrification in Transport: Reducing Carbon Emissions for the Long Haul

    Electric vehicles are growing in popularity – small cars, SUVs, even pickup trucks. But what about electric long-haul tractor trailers? It’s true that, owing to the size of the batteries required, electrification of heavy-hauling trucks is a difficult task. However, disruptive innovators have capitalized on this gap in the sector. Thanks to groundbreaking electrification solutions, one customer was able to drive 265,000 kilometers over two years without ever re-charging his trailer battery! In this episode, we speak to Abdullah Jaber, CEO and Managing Director at Trailer Dynamics, and Roland Duquesne, Director of Key Accounts for the EMEA Region at Thermo King. We’ll discuss game-changing trailer technology, and how the electrification of long-haul transportation not only reduces carbon emissions, but also helps truckers get to their destinations faster.
