The new standard for
total room control
and cost savings.
needed. With powerful room status feed-
back, room occupants become engaged in
their own comfort and room energy
savings. TRA has the answers and takes
action. It allows the room to operate as
efficiently as possible, reduces energy
usage, and helps drive buildings toward
their sustainability goals.
Better together
Siemens TRA is an integral part of the
APOGEE Building Automation system,
which means both room occupants and
facility managers can easily take charge
of room conditions. Room operations can
be managed from a central workstation.
In addition, room data for temperature,
lighting, and shade control are automatically
stored and shared, facilitating smarter
decision-making for optimized operation.
Siemens TRA benefits:
• Lowers construction costs
• Lowers energy costs
• Lowers maintenance costs
• Increases occupant comfort
• Streamlines facility management
• Supports sustainability
• Raises property image
Siemens Total Room Automation
is a control system for room
temperature, air quality, lighting,
and shade control. A single room
controller and display provides
simplified control while reducing
installation costs and maximizing
long-term energy efficiency
and cost-savings.
Siemens TRA is offered as an option
to the APOGEE Building Automation
System from Siemens, a key
building block for making
buildings smarter, more
efficient, and sustainable.
Siemens Total Room Automation (TRA)
combines room HVAC, lighting and/or
shading systems into one, seamless
package. As one solution instead of three,
Siemens TRA cuts initial product costs,
installation costs, and ongoing operating
costs, while increasing room energy
efficiency and providing optimal comfort
for room occupants.
With its innovative approach, TRA is
changing the equation for today’s room
control. And, it’s changing the equation
for room occupants, specifying engineers,
building designers, building owners, and
even building contractors.
How? All-in-one
Siemens TRA is NOT an integrated system.
At the heart of Siemens TRA is Siemens DXR
controller with embedded software for all
three room functions. The payoff…instead
of separate systems for HVAC, lighting, and
shade control, each with its own network
infrastructure, Siemens TRA controls all
three functions. It does this through a
single room display so occupants can adjust
the room environment for temperature,
lighting, and shading from one,
wall-mounted device.
The innovative result…a simplified solution
that reduces costs. TRA orchestrates the
different systems to provide optimal room
comfort conditions with as little energy
as possible.
Benefits for all
For building designers, TRA streamlines
the design process with just one system
to incorporate into building plans. For
contractors, installation and testing are
greatly simplified thereby minimizing
hardware costs and labor. And for building
owners, maintenance budgets are reduced
with only one system to maintain over
the long-term.
TRA with sustainability in mind
With a stylish, simple interface, Siemens
TRA enables building occupants to take
an active role in room conditions. While
building managers can pre-set a room to
perform at optimum levels, and at room
occupants’ desired level of comfort,
occupants still have local control and
flexibility. In fact, TRA helps building
owners meet LEED® certification by
providing occupants control over their
environment. They can override the pre-set
conditions to meet their immediate needs
for temperature, lighting, and shading.
Siemens TRA constantly monitors the status
of room temperature, lighting, and shades;
when room conditions deviate from the
optimum pre-set state, the room display’s
greenleaf icon changes to red. To return the
room to the most energy efficient levels, a
single tap of the red leaf icon is all that is
Think ahead
Siemens TRA is an ideal choice for new
construction and major retrofits. Once
installed, it is flexible and scalable, making
it easier than ever to invest in tomorrow’s
technology today. As building needs evolve,
plug-and-play room devices let you adapt and
add room applications quickly and simply.
When it comes to room control, innovation
is here. With TRA, room automation truly
works as one, intelligent solution. It ensures
perfect interplay between your heating,
ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, and
shading systems. It’s Siemens TRA – simple,
smart, cost-effective, and energy efficient.
