Tracer ES delivers value

Tracer ES is a powerful, Web-based solution that gives you an enterprise management view of all your building control systems (Figure 1). Tracer ES is the online answer to enterprise building control:

• Enables better decision making• Provides easy integration and

compatibility• Offers superior performance and cost

savings• Delivers a positive return on

investment (ROI)

Better decision makingTracer ES views buildings as a source of information. This information can then be integrated with other business systems throughout the enterprise. This helps building owners and managers ultimately make better informed operational and business decisions.

Now, you can proactively view and analyze information about all of your facilities as one enterprise, campus, or organization. This makes it easier to identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency and understand recurring problems.

Energy cost savings

Building owners and managers want to better understand how they use energy, and how to make smart decisions about their energy usage and resources. Tracer ES gives you the ability to collect and analyze energy and operational data from multiple sources. You can compare and contrast your “best of class” buildings with those that are not top performers to help raise them to a higher level—and wring out extra savings.

Maintenance costs

Facility service and maintenance is another significant cost for building owners and managers. By promoting awareness of conditions that require maintenance and repair, Tracer ES can help minimize service calls and make best use of on-site service.

Tracer ES helps you make better decisions:

• Views and analyzes information about all your facilities as one enterprise

• Supports a proactive approach: makes users more efficient and better at what they already do

• Provides historical energy usage data for multiple facilities and systems

• Provides historical operational information for multiple systems and equipment

Superior performanceTracer ES makes it easy for your facilities and maintenance staff to be more productive, access important building information, and respond to alarms and troubleshoot problems on a more proactive basis.

Tracer ES was specifically designed to be the most user-friendly control system you will find. To put it simply, if you can surf the Web, you can master Tracer ES. You now have the power to complete daily operations from any secure computer on your network. You can quickly change set points or make scheduling adjustments to a room, a single building, or across all your facilities. You will be able to respond to last minute changes, unexpected events or even changing weather conditions.

When an alarm shows up on your system, Tracer ES automatically pinpoints the problem and displays it on your monitor—which building, which room, which piece of equipment—so you can immediately troubleshoot the problem. If service is needed, you will know who to send and what parts to bring to address the problems the technician will likely face.

Tracer ES provides superior performance:

• Dramatically streamlines daily facility management activities

• Instantly pinpoints alarms at their source and diagnoses problems from your computer

• Bundles repetitive tasks to reduce time spent making changes across many buildings

• Reduces training needs by providing a highly intuitive user experience

Setup

Tracer ES can be quickly installed for basic operation. This is made possible through the combination of auto-discovery and self-configuration capabilities, pre-engineered system applications, and a user-friendly interface.

Tracer ES is part of Trane’s existing Integrated ComfortTM Solutions (ICS) strategy. The ICS strategy uses Trane’s HVAC and controls expertise, building and energy management knowledge, and local service and support to bring you a truly comprehensive solution. We support you not only at the time of your initial purchase and installation, but throughout the entire life cycle of your system. Your Trane Sales representative will work with you to assure that a successful Tracer ES solution is designed and delivered!

SoftwareThe Tracer ES software lives on a central server and is typically installed by a certified Trane controls installer. The purchase price of Tracer ES is based on the number of Trane or qualified non-Trane BACnet panels that are connected to the Tracer ES server.

Tracer ES is robust software that is not only a systems integration platform, but also a platform for other knowledge-based software modules. These software modules bring additional value to your business by helping you manage other important facility management activities like energy usage, tenant services, and maintenance. Tracer ES meets your needs with a scalable and modular product that can grow as your business grows.

HardwareTracer ES hardware can be supplied by either Trane or the customer. There are some minimum specifications that need to be met for any Tracer ES installation. These specifications are found on the last page of this catalog.

ImplementationWith every Tracer ES project, Trane will create a Design and Implementation Plan that will include all the components necessary to successfully implement a Tracer ES system. While each plan is unique, they all share common elements. These are:

• IT/networking• Systems engineering• Operational requirements

IT/networking

Tracer ES is a standard IT product. Both the Tracer ES server and the connected Trane and non-Trane BACnet panels must live on a common IP network. Tracer ES generally resides on the intranet behind the corporate firewall, isolated from the Internet. Multiple-site connectivity is supported through the existing LAN or WAN. Remote access (for remote support or management purposes) is typically achieved by an existing IT-approved method, such as virtual private network (VPN) configuration or another remote access tool.

Trane will work with your organization’s IT personnel to understand the current IT/networking configuration and systems. With their expertise and guidance, Trane will provide recommendations on how to add a Tracer ES system effectively using your standard operations procedures. This guidance, and these recommendations, will be documented in Trane’s Design and Implementation Plan so that your organization can be assured of a safe and secure system that can be easily maintained over time.

Systems engineering

Tracer ES can connect to both Trane and qualified non-Trane BACnet devices, making it an excellent systems integration platform. Tracer ES provides one window into your entire facility or enterprise no matter how many systems you are using.

The Tracer ES Design and Implementation Plan will include systems engineering documentation to identify and integrate any non-Trane BACnet system that will be connected to the Tracer ES server.

Operational requirements

Tracer ES can be customized to meet the exact needs of your organization and users. Trane will interview the key administrative users to understand how many people will be using the system and what their roles and responsibilities are. This ensures that Tracer ES will be ready for them as soon as it is installed and commissioned. Also, the operational requirements for scheduling, troubleshooting, and data analysis will

also be obtained and documented in the Design and Implementation Plan. Trane will use this information to assure that the systems are working together as one common enterprise.

s

Tracer ES is a Web-based facility management tool. It simplifies the management of building systems within multiple facilities for owners, managers, and daily operators. Users can access Tracer ES from any secure PC through a Web browser interface connected to the building enterprise network. Tracer ES accesses real-time system data and displays it through the user interface.

Ease of operationThe daily operator is the most critical user of the system. To optimize the daily user’s experience, user-centered design principles were employed. Trane tested Tracer ES with many end-users to ensure a simple and intuitive design that makes operating Tracer ES easy to use.

Site management

Tracer ES site management features can help facility management personnel take a more proactive approach to site management. The building index, flexible search tool, and navigational aid features can significantly increase response time to address occupant issues across a large enterprise.

Web browser

The interface is easy to navigate and can be used effectively with very little

training. The Tracer ES user interface lets you operate a multiple-building, facility management system from any secure PC on the network, using an Internet Explorer browser. If you can surf the web, you can master Tracer ES

Figure 3. Tracer ES home page and online help

(Figure 3).

Auto-discovery and self-configuration

The auto-discovery and self-configuration feature greatly simplifies the time-consuming task of the installer having to build the equipment list and status pages during site setup. During the installation process, Tracer ES discovers all of the equipment for the site, and then automatically builds the equipment list and status Web pages.

Online help

Users come to Tracer ES with a range of skills and experience and may need varying levels of help. Tracer ES has a comprehensive help system that gives basic help first, and then provides links or buttons to additional “help for experts,” or to other relevant topics. Users can easily gain information to support the task they are currently trying to accomplish, or search for other topics as well.

Navigate with graphics

With Tracer ES, users can graphically navigate through all levels of a facility by clicking on an image of a building, room, or piece of equipment. Graphical navigation enables operators to view status or change setpoints easily and efficiently.

Customizable building index

The Buildings Index can be customized to view building information in a hierarchical structure, or by building type. For example, the owner/operator of a retail chain might want to use a hierarchical structure to describe a group of buildings. This gives users access to building information at different levels of the hierarchy.

Flexible search tool

The Finding a Building feature is a powerful search tool that helps the user quickly find a building or a group of buildings in the system. Users can search on any attribute that is specified during administrator setup. To find a specific building, enter the building name or other building attribute in the Find Building field and click “Go.” The user is taken to the Summary page for a particular building or group of buildings, where other building information can be readily viewed.

Built-in navigation system

Tracer ES provides a powerful left-hand navigation system. It is automatically built during the auto-discovery and self-configuration process during installation. The navigation system enables rapid location of buildings and information, allowing daily operators and facility staff to respond quickly to occupant issues. The left-hand navigation system takes the guesswork out of navigating to the information you need by providing access to all pertinent information for daily operational tasks.

Recent visits

The Recent Visits list can be used as a navigational aid for finding the most recently viewed buildings. This list displays the last 10 buildings that were visited, giving the operator access to buildings that have been worked on most often. If the Remote Building Operator is supporting hundreds of buildings but only working on a few, this list enables the operator to get to those buildings quickly without having to retrace navigation steps.

Daily building operationTracer ES automatically and dynamically constructs Web pages that incorporate building summaries, systems, and equipment, accessed by a left-hand navigation pane (Figure 4). This makes both the installation process and daily operation of Tracer ES efficient and effective.

Auto-discovery and self-configuration

Auto discovery and self-configuration automatically builds the following pages:

• Summary• Alarms • Spaces• Equipment• Subsystems• Schedules• Datalogs

Summary

This page shows a summary of the alarms and space status for a selected building in the enterprise.

Alarms

This page displays a list of all alarms for a selected building in the enterprise.

Spaces

This page shows all spaces in a selected building and its related equipment. Users can view the equipment summary page of a building space, and can also modify data points.

Equipment

This pages shows status of a selected building and its related equipment. Users can view the status of all equipment and subsystems, which displays data points for all equipment in a building.

The Data Log pages display the results of the collection of data points from a piece of equipment or from a building panel. This page displays all of the data points currently being logged with check boxes allowing the user to select and place them on a graph or summary chart for viewing.

Enterprise managementTracer ES provides enterprise management functionality to help you run your facilities better. Responding to alarms and modifying schedules from a single-access point is an efficient way to ensure the safety and comfort of your buildings’ occupants.

Enterprise alarm management

Sort by priority and alarm type

Tracer ES displays alarms for any connected qualified BACnet system on the IT network. Users can manage these alarms by viewing, filtering, and sorting the alarm information. For easy troubleshooting and acknowledgement, hot-links for each alarm quickly take the user to the exact building, space, system, or equipment that is in alarm.

E-mail forwarding

Alarm information can be sent to an e-mail address based on the severity of the alarm or the attributes of the building from which it was issued. This helps to ensure that building operational staff and servicing contractors are well informed about maintenance problems.

Enterprise scheduling

Tracer ES simplifies the task of making changes to schedules for more than one building in an enterprise (Figure 5). Enterprise scheduling lets building operators make scheduling changes across multiple buildings without the need to repeat any steps. This significantly reduces the time required for scheduling tasks. For example, a building operator responsible for a group of school buildings in a district needs to make an exception to the schedule for snow days. The operator creates the exception once, and then applies it to the buildings that are affected by that schedule.

Data collection and analysisTracer ES provides data collection, analysis, and reporting of all enterprise data. Users can collect historical data from any Trane or non-Trane BACnet building control system. This data provides invaluable information for optimal system operation. It can be used for a variety of purposes, from reporting monthly energy usage to troubleshooting equipment problems.

Data logs

Tracer ES can collect and store data from both existing panel trends or directly from the system itself. Data logs can be set up directly from the building, system or equipment status pages. A data log setup wizard takes the user through the easy-to-understand process can provides flexibility for the length of storage by either time or number of samples.

Tracer ES can present stored data in a variety of forms for maximum flexibility by the user. It can present data in either a table format, as a chart, or as a report.

Table

The selected data log can be presented in a table format, listing the selected data log values as well as the Date/Time stamp.

Graph

Data Log pages can display the results of the collection of data points from either a piece of equipment or from a building panel. You can view data points on a static graph that can be configured for the desired length of time. A maximum of five data points can be put into a single view (Figure 6).

Reports

Viewing current and previous system operational data provides invaluable information to the user for troubleshooting and analysis. Tracer ES is capable of creating reports of status information, trends, or query results.Exporting data

Exporting data

Data that is logged is saved in the Microsoft SQL Server database. The data is stored in an open (.txt) format, making it available to other software packages, such as Excel.
