The partnership aims to reduce energy use and emissions through low-emission heating and cooling systems and intelligent digital services.\n\n## Trane's Role Across KSE Venues\n\nKSE's real estate portfolio includes SoFi Stadium, YouTube Theater and Hollywood Park in Los Angeles and Ball Arena in Denver. Trane's climate systems will help KSE reduce energy use and emissions through low-emission heating and cooling systems and intelligent digital services, per the release. The agreement will focus on advancing building performance and sustainability in critical, complex environments, said Holly Paeper, president of commercial HVAC for the Americas at Trane.\n\nSoFi Stadium will co-host opening ceremonies for the 2028 Olympic Games with the Coliseum and host swimming events. The stadium field will be converted into the largest Olympic swimming venue in history to hold over 40,000 spectators. Designed by architecture firm HKS, Hollywood Park is a mixed-use development that includes 70,000-seat SoFi Stadium and 6,000-seat YouTube Theater.\n\n\"Across our portfolio, we are focused on delivering world-class experiences while continuing to invest in innovation, operational performance and sustainability,\" Mike Neary, executive vice president of business operations and real estate at KSE, said in a statement. \"Trane's expertise, technology and shared commitment to progress make them an ideal collaborator as we continue to raise the bar across our venues.\"\n\nKSE owns the Los Angeles Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Arsenal F.C., many of which play in its stadiums.
