Education Who We Are: The Gerster Trane Energy Services Education Team focuses on the needs of education facilities. We work with many schools, Colleges and Universities in Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania specializing in turnkey, electrical, mechanical, water, and energy driven projects. What We Do: Our projects reduce utility costs and improve student and faculty comfort. We make all aspects of a building more efficient creating a facility that is more competitive and more productive. We add value by reducing the cost of capital improvements through incentive programs and financing. Think Green. Many schools, Colleges and Universities are conscious of their impact on the environment and are constantly working on reducing their impact on the earth's resources. We integrate energy conservation and renewable energy strategies and high performance mechanical and lighting systems, water efficient designs, environmentally responsive site planning, and environmentally preferable products. Working together we lessen the impact on the environment. Gerster Trane Strategic K-12 Goals: 1. Improve student test scores and attendance, and retain teachers.
