Lakeland Regional Medical Center is located in fast growing Polk County. The facility has served the residents of Lakeland and surrounding
areas for the past 80 years and now consists of 851 beds, 835,000 square feet and occupies over 40 acres of land in Lakeland.

Hillsborough County Government
We’re making a mess tearing up the streets in downtown Tampa... and we apologize. This construction work is part of a large Performance Contract entered into by Trane and Hillsborough County Government. Stephen Koontz, TBT Solutions Sales Engineer and Steve Van Skiver, TBT Solutions Project Manager along with Robert Garcia, TBT’s Vice President of Business Development are responsible for the complete scope of this project.
Tampa Bay Trane is teamed with Clark Construction, Poole & Kent, and TLC Consulting Engineers to expand Hillsborough County Government’s Chiller Plant and its under ground piping distribution system. A new fifteen hundred (1,500) ton Trane Centravac is being added to the Chiller plant along with 84 Calmac ice storage tanks. The project not only expands the capacity of the Chiller Plant but also insures that the Plant will operate at far lower costs because much of the load will be shifted to making ice at night when electric rates are lower.

Saint Leo University
“In early 1997, our new
president asked, ‘What is
on the top of your list of
deferred maintenance
items?"
Without hesitating, I told him airconditioning
systems. That’s how
this started seven years ago as we
struggled to keep a hodge-podge of
30–45 year-old, direct-expansion and
small chillers working.” This is the
way Frank Mezzanini describes the
beginning of a process that has
resulted in the installation of a new
central chilled-water and campuswide
distribution and control
system. Mezzanini is vice president
and CFO of Saint Leo University in
Saint Leo, Florida. This Catholic
liberal arts school in west central
Florida, about 30 miles from Tampa,
has carved a reputation as a topnotch
school, willing to try new
programs to bring education out to
those who want it.
