Opportunities

Overview:

Opportunities are a snapshot of a possible building enhancement. Opportunities are selected and managed from the Services section in Trane Cloud. An Opportunity is linked to one or more Findings. A building, system or specific piece of equipment in scope is selected on the Opportunity. The Opportunity includes data information to support the business case for change.

Use Cases:

An Opportunity is a summary of a high-level scope of work for a building enhancement. The Opportunity includes building data information to support the business case for change. Opportunities are managed and used by Trane and building stakeholders.

Findings related to the Opportunity are linked in the Opportunity. There can be more than one Finding linked to an Opportunity. This provides traceability of where the Opportunity originated.

User Access:

When an Opportunity is initially created, the visibility is limited to Trane with a Not Visible status.

As details are added or refined in the Opportunity, the visibility of the Opportunity can be changed to Visible so that end users can see the Opportunity.

Access to Opportunities is included in the base license offering and is located under the Services tab.
