Trust Transaction [Abstract]
Proposed Reverse Morris Trust Transaction [Text Block]	PROPOSED REVERSE MORRIS TRUST TRANSACTION In April 2019, the Company and Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. (GDI) announced that they entered into definitive agreements pursuant to which the Company will separate its Industrial segment businesses (IR Industrial) by way of spin-off to the Company’s shareholders and then combine with GDI to create a new company focused on flow creation and industrial technologies. This business is expected to be renamed Ingersoll-Rand Inc. The Company’s remaining HVAC and transport refrigeration businesses, reported under the Climate segment, will focus on climate control solutions for buildings, homes and transportation. The Company will rename its remaining business Trane Technologies plc at the time the transaction closes. The transaction is expected to close by early 2020, subject to approval by GDI’s shareholders, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. The transaction will be effected through a Reverse Morris Trust transaction, pursuant to which IR Industrial is expected to be spun-off to the Company’s shareholders and simultaneously merged with and surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GDI. At the time of close, Trane Technologies plc will receive $1.9 billion in cash from IR Industrial, funded by newly-issued debt expected to be deemed issued under an existing credit agreement of GDI upon consummation of the merger. Upon close of the transaction, existing shareholders of the Company will receive 50.1% of the shares of Ingersoll-Rand Inc. on a fully diluted basis. Existing GDI shareholders will own 49.9% of the shares of Ingersoll-Rand Inc. on a fully diluted basis. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to the Company’s respective shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Dec. 31, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements follows: Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of all discontinued operations have been separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Certain reclassifications of amounts reported in prior periods have been made to conform with the current period presentation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company. A noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is considered an ownership interest in a majority-owned subsidiary that is not attributable to the parent. The Company includes Noncontrolling interest as a component of Total equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented as an adjustment from Net earnings used to arrive at Net earnings attributable to Ingersoll-Rand plc in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Partially-owned equity affiliates represent 20 - 50 % ownership interests in investments where the Company demonstrates significant influence, but does not have a controlling financial interest. Partially-owned equity affiliates are accounted for under the equity method. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the statement of operations in the period that they are determined. Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated at year-end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts have been translated using average exchange rates throughout the year. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating an entity’s financial statements into the U.S. dollar have been recorded in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) . Transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are subject to changes in exchange rates with the resulting gains and losses recorded within Net earnings . Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less. The Company maintains amounts on deposit at various financial institutions, which may at times exceed federally insured limits. However, management periodically evaluates the credit-worthiness of those institutions and has not experienced any losses on such deposits. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts : The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable which represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent in the Company's accounts receivable portfolio. This estimate is based upon a two-step policy that results in the total recorded allowance for doubtful accounts. The first step is to record a portfolio reserve based on the aging of the outstanding accounts receivable portfolio and the Company's historical experience with the Company's end markets, customer base and products. The second step is to create a specific reserve for significant accounts as to which the customer's ability to satisfy their financial obligation to the Company is in doubt due to circumstances such as bankruptcy, deteriorating operating results or financial position. In these circumstances, management uses its judgment to record an allowance based on the best estimate of probable loss, factoring in such considerations as the market value of collateral, if applicable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period that they are determined. The Company reserved $ 42.2 million and $ 32.7 million for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Inventories: Depending on the business, U.S. inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Non-U.S. inventories are primarily stated at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO method. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 , approximately 54% and 56% , respectively, of all inventory utilized the LIFO method. Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Assets placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset except for leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of their economic useful life or their lease term. The range of useful lives used to depreciate property, plant and equipment is as follows: Buildings 10 to 50 years Machinery and equipment 2 to 12 years Software 2 to 7 years Major expenditures for replacements and significant improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are also capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amounts of assets that are sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected within current earnings. Per ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment" (ASC 360), the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Goodwill and Intangible Assets: The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with ASC 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" (ASC 350), goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset is more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment of goodwill is assessed at the reporting unit level and begins with an optional qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the goodwill impairment test under ASC 350. For those reporting units that bypass or fail the qualitative assessment, the test compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill in that reporting unit. Intangible assets such as patents, customer-related intangible assets and other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. The weighted-average useful lives approximate the following: Customer relationships 17 years Patents 10 years Other 10 years The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Business Combinations: In accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations" (ASC 805), acquisitions are recorded using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company includes the operating results of acquired entities from their respective dates of acquisition. The Company recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date fair value. The excess, if any, of total consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed , and any non-controlling interest is recognized as goodwill. Costs incurred as a result of a business combination other than costs related to the issuance of debt or equity securities are recorded in the period the costs are incurred. Employee Benefit Plans : The Company provides a range of benefits, including pensions, postretirement and postemployment benefits to eligible current and former employees. Determining the cost associated with such benefits is dependent on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation increases, mortality, turnover rates, and healthcare cost trend rates. Actuaries perform the required calculations to determine expense in accordance with GAAP. Actual results may differ from the actuarial assumptions and are generally accumulated into Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into Net earnings over future periods. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends, if appropriate. Loss Contingencies: Liabilities are recorded for various contingencies arising in the normal course of business. The Company has recorded reserves in the financial statements related to these matters, which are developed using input derived from actuarial estimates and historical and anticipated experience data depending on the nature of the reserve, and in certain instances with consultation of legal counsel, internal and external consultants and engineers. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for these types of liabilities, the Company believes its estimated reserves are reasonable and does not believe the final determination of the liabilities with respect to these matters would have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company for any year. Environmental Costs: The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to protecting the environment. Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to existing conditions caused by past operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenues, are expensed. Liabilities for remediation costs are recorded when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated, generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action. The assessment of this liability, which is calculated based on existing remediation technology, does not reflect any offset for possible recoveries from insurance companies, and is not discounted. Asbestos Matters : Certain of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries and former companies are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. The Company records a liability for actual and anticipated future claims as well as an asset for anticipated insurance settlements. Asbestos-related defense costs are excluded from the asbestos claims liability and are recorded separately as services are incurred. None of the Company's existing or previously-owned businesses were a producer or manufacturer of asbestos. The Company records certain income and expenses associated with asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries within discontinued operations, net of tax, as they relate to previously divested businesses, except for amounts associated with Trane U.S. Inc.’s asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries which are recorded within continuing operations. Product Warranties: Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available. The Company's extended warranty liability represents the deferred revenue associated with its extended warranty contracts and is amortized into Revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless another method is more representative of the costs incurred. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liability by evaluating the expected costs under its existing contracts to ensure these expected costs do not exceed the extended warranty liability. Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not. The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets considering its historic profitability, projected future taxable income, timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of its tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance with respect to a future tax benefit. Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. A majority of the Company's revenues are recognized at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in time per the terms of a contract. However, a portion of the Company's revenues are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives control as the Company performs work under a contract. For these arrangements, the cost-to-cost input method is used as it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as the Company incurs costs. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding revenue recognition. Research and Development Costs: The Company conducts research and development activities for the purpose of developing and improving new products and services. These expenditures are expensed when incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , these expenditures amounted to $237.0 million , $228.7 million and $210.8 million , respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The FASB ASC is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) to communicate changes to the codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU's. ASU's not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (ASC 842), which requires the lease rights and obligations arising from lease contracts, including existing and new arrangements, to be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company adopted this standard using a modified-retrospective approach as of January 1, 2019. Under this approach, the Company recognized and recorded a right-of-use (ROU) asset and related lease liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet of $521 million with no impact to Retained earnings . Reporting periods prior to January 1, 2019 continue to be presented in accordance with previous lease accounting guidance under GAAP. As part of the adoption, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which includes the ability to carry forward historical lease classification. Refer to Note 11, “Leases,” for a further discussion on the adoption of ASC 842. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and hedging (Topic 815): Targeted improvements to accounting for hedging activities" (ASU 2017-12). This standard more closely aligns the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. This standard also addresses specific limitations in current GAAP by expanding hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and by refining the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity’s hedging strategies. Additionally, by aligning the timing of recognition of hedge results with the earnings effect of the hedged item for cash flow and net investment hedges, and by including the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is presented, the results of an entity’s hedging program and the cost of executing that program will be more visible to users of financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2018 with no material impact to the financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory” (ASU 2016-16) which removed the prohibition in Topic 740 against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. As a result, the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory will be recognized in the current period income statement rather than being deferred until the assets leave the consolidated group. The Company applied ASU 2016-16 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment which reduced Retained earnings by $9.1 million as of January 1, 2018. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606), which created a comprehensive, five-step model for revenue recognition that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Under ASC 606, a company will be required to use more judgment and make more estimates when considering contract terms as well as relevant facts and circumstances when identifying performance obligations, estimating the amount of variable consideration in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase Retained earnings by $2.4 million with related amounts not materially impacting the Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 13, “Revenue,” for a further discussion on the adoption of ASC 606. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" (ASU 2016-09), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. The standard makes several modifications to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. In addition, ASU 2016-09 clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2017 and prospectively presented any excess tax benefits or deficiencies in the income statement as a component of Provision for income taxes rather than in the Equity section of the Balance Sheet. As part of the adoption, the Company reclassified $15.1 million of excess tax benefits previously unrecognized on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase Retained earnings as of January 1, 2017. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies certain aspects of income tax accounting guidance in ASC 740, reducing the complexity of its application. Certain exceptions to ASC 740 presented within the ASU include: intraperiod tax allocation, deferred tax liabilities related to outside basis differences, year-to-date loss in interim periods, among others. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 including interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the ASU on its financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract" (ASU 2018-15), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a cloud-computing arrangement service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. In addition, the guidance also clarifies the presentation requirements for reporting such costs in the financial statements. ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, this ASU will be applied on a prospective basis and is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Goodwill Abstract
Goodwill	GOODWILL The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Measurement period adjustments may be recorded once a final valuation has been performed. Goodwill is tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than its carrying value. The changes in the carrying amount of Goodwill are as follows: In millions Climate Industrial Total Net balance as of December 31, 2017 $ 5,065.1 $ 870.6 $ 5,935.7 Acquisitions (1) 118.1 1.8 119.9 Currency translation (84.0 ) (12.1 ) (96.1 ) Net balance as of December 31, 2018 5,099.2 860.3 5,959.5 Acquisitions (1) 45.3 801.3 846.6 Currency translation (18.8 ) (4.2 ) (23.0 ) Net balance as of December 31, 2019 $ 5,125.7 $ 1,657.4 $ 6,783.1 (1) Refer to Note 19, "Acquisitions and Divestitures" for more information regarding acquisitions.

Other Credit Facilities The Company maintains two 5-year, $ 1.0 billion revolving credit facilities (the Facilities) through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited and Ingersoll-Rand Luxembourg Finance S.A. (collectively, the Borrowers). Each senior unsecured credit facility, one of which matures in March 2021 and the other in April 2023, provides support for the Company's commercial paper program and can be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Ingersoll-Rand plc, Ingersoll-Rand Irish Holdings Unlimited Company, Ingersoll-Rand Lux International Holding Company S.à.r.l. and Ingersoll-Rand Company each provide irrevocable and unconditional guarantees for these Facilities. In addition, each Borrower will guarantee the obligations under the Facilities of the other Borrower. Total commitments of $ 2.0 billion were unused at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Fair Value of Debt The carrying value of the Company's short-term borrowings is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of the Company's debt instruments at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $6.2 billion and $ 4.2 billion , respectively. The Company measures the fair value of its long-term debt instruments for disclosure purposes based upon observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar assets. These fair value inputs are considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its long-term debt instruments at December 31, 2019 are the same as those used at December 31, 2018 . Guarantees Along with Ingersoll-Rand plc, certain of the Company's 100% directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, public debt issued by other 100% directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries. Refer to Note 23 for the Company's current guarantor structure.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments	12 Months Ended
Financial Instruments	Dec. 31, 2019
Financial Instruments Abstract
Financial Instruments	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks arising from business operations and economic factors. These fluctuations can increase the cost of financing, investing and operating the business. The Company may use various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, to manage the risks associated with interest rate, commodity price and foreign currency exposures. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. On the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction or as an undesignated derivative. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the derivative instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivative instruments that are designated as hedges to specific assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions. The Company assesses at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in cash flow hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. To the extent the derivative is deemed to be a highly effective hedge, the fair market value changes of the instrument are recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the hedging relationship will be undesignated and any future gains and losses on the derivative instrument will be recorded in Net earnings . The fair values of derivative instruments included within the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31 were as follows: Derivative assets Derivative liabilities In millions 2019 2018 2019 2018 Derivatives designated as hedges: Currency derivatives $ 0.1 $ 1.3 $ 3.9 $ 0.7 Derivatives not designated as hedges: Currency derivatives 1.2 0.9 3.3 0.6 Total derivatives $ 1.3 $ 2.2 $ 7.2 $ 1.3 Asset and liability derivatives included in the table above are recorded within Other current assets and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities , respectively. Currency Hedging Instruments The notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives was $ 0.5 billion and $ 0.6 billion at December 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 , a net loss of $ 2.9 million and a net gain of $ 0.5 million , net of tax, respectively, was included in AOCI related to the fair value of the Company’s currency derivatives designated as accounting hedges. The amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a loss of $ 1.6 million . The actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. Gains and losses associated with the Company’s currency derivatives not designated as hedges are recorded in Net earnings as changes in fair value occur. At December 31, 2019 , the maximum term of the Company’s currency derivatives was approximately 12 months, except for currency derivatives in place related to a certain long-term contract. Other Derivative Instruments Prior to 2015, the Company utilized forward-starting interest rate swaps and interest rate locks to manage interest rate exposure in periods prior to the anticipated issuance of certain fixed-rate debt. These instruments were designated as cash flow hedges and had a notional amount of $1.3 billion . Consequently, when the contracts were settled upon the issuance of the underlying debt, any realized gains or losses in the fair values of the instruments were deferred into AOCI. These deferred gains or losses are subsequently recognized in Interest expense over the term of the related notes. The net unrecognized gain in AOCI was $6.0 million and $6.7 million at December 31, 2019 and at December 31, 2018 . The deferred gain at December 31, 2019 will continue to be amortized over the term of notes with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2044.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement and Measurement Inputs, Recurring and Nonrecurring [Text Block]	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," (ASC 820) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows: • Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; • Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2019 : In Millions Fair Value Fair value measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Derivative instruments $ 1.3 $ — $ 1.3 $ — Liabilities: Derivative instruments $ 7.2 $ — $ 7.2 $ — The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018 : In Millions Fair Value Fair value measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Derivative instruments $ 2.2 $ — $ 2.2 $ — Liabilities: Derivative instruments $ 1.3 $ — $ 1.3 $ — Derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts and instruments related to non-functional currency balance sheet exposures. The fair value of the derivative instruments are determined based on a pricing model that uses spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at December 31, 2019 are the same as those used at December 31, 2018 . There have been no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Leases [Abstract]
Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block]	LEASES The Company’s lease portfolio includes various contracts for real estate, vehicles, information technology and other equipment. At contract inception, the Company determines a lease exists if the contract conveys the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is considered to exist when the lessee has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset as well as the right to direct the use of that asset. If a contract is considered to be a lease, the Company recognizes a lease liability based on the present value of the future lease payments, with an offsetting entry to recognize a right-of-use asset. Options to extend or terminate a lease are included when it is reasonably certain an option will be exercised. As a majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate within the lease, an incremental borrowing rate is used which is based on information available at the commencement date. The following table includes a summary of the Company's lease portfolio and Balance Sheet classification: In millions Classification December 31, January 1, Assets Operating lease right-of-use assets (1) Other noncurrent assets $ 560.0 $ 517.1 Liabilities Operating lease current Other current liabilities 172.0 160.3 Operating lease noncurrent Other noncurrent liabilities 394.4 360.5 (1) Per ASC 842, prepaid lease payments and lease incentives are recorded as part of the right-of-use asset. The net impact was $6.4 million and $3.7 million at December 31, 2019 and January 1, 2019, respectively. The Company elected the practical expedient as an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease component as a single lease component. This practical expedient was applied to all underlying asset classes. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to utilize a portfolio approach for the vehicle, information technology and equipment asset classes as the application of the lease model to the portfolio would not differ materially from the application of the lease model to the individual leases within the portfolio. The following table includes lease costs and related cash flow information for the year ended December 31 : In millions 2019 Operating lease expense $ 206.1 Variable lease expense 29.9 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases 204.2 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities 201.9 Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, the Company has certain leases that contain variable lease payments which are based on an index, a rate referenced in the lease or on the actual usage of the leased asset. These payments are not included in the right-to-use asset or lease liability and are expensed as incurred as variable lease expense. The Company elected the practical expedient as an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not apply the balance sheet recognition criteria required in ASC 842 to leases with an initial lease term of twelve months or less. Payments for these leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Maturities of lease obligations were as follows: In millions December 31, Operating leases: 2020 $ 192.3 2021 151.6 2022 106.8 2023 75.3 2024 40.0 After 2024 68.1 Total lease payments $ 634.1 Less: Interest (67.7 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 566.4 At December 31, 2019 , the weighted average remaining lease term was 4.7 years with a weighted average discount rate of 3.9% . Prior Period Disclosures As a result of adopting ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company is required to present future minimum lease commitments for operating leases having initial or noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year that were previously disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and accounted for under previous lease guidance. Commitments as of December 31, 2018 were as follows: In millions December 31, Operating leases 2019 $ 197.1 2020 152.0 2021 107.4 2022 68.4 2023 42.2 After 2023 42.7 Total $ 609.8

Retirement Benefits, Description [Abstract]
Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions	PENSIONS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS The Company sponsors several U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of the Company's U.S. employees. Additionally, the Company has many non-U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering eligible non-U.S. employees. Postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) provide healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits for certain eligible employees. Pension Plans The noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering non-collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a final average pay formula while plans for most collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a flat dollar benefit formula or a percentage of pay formula. The non-U.S. pension plans generally provide benefits based on earnings and years of service. The Company also maintains additional other supplemental plans for officers and other key or highly compensated employees. The following table details information regarding the Company’s pension plans at December 31: In millions 2019 2018 Change in benefit obligations: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 3,465.3 $ 3,742.2 Service cost 73.6 75.0 Interest cost 119.1 109.7 Employee contributions 1.1 1.1 Amendments 5.7 16.1 Actuarial (gains) losses 422.8 (224.8 ) Benefits paid (225.3 ) (218.9 ) Currency translation 9.0 (34.8 ) Curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits (3.1 ) (4.6 ) Other, including expenses paid (17.0 ) 4.3 Benefit obligation at end of year $ 3,851.2 $ 3,465.3 Change in plan assets: Fair value at beginning of year $ 2,766.9 $ 3,063.1 Actual return on assets 526.1 (125.9 ) Company contributions 83.1 86.9 Employee contributions 1.1 1.1 Benefits paid (225.3 ) (218.9 ) Currency translation 12.0 (32.8 ) Settlements (5.3 ) (9.8 ) Other, including expenses paid (21.8 ) 3.2 Fair value of assets end of year $ 3,136.8 $ 2,766.9 Net unfunded liability $ (714.4 ) $ (698.4 ) Amounts included in the balance sheet: Other noncurrent assets $ 50.4 $ 49.9 Accrued compensation and benefits (8.7 ) (25.9 ) Postemployment and other benefit liabilities (756.1 ) (722.4 ) Net amount recognized $ (714.4 ) $ (698.4 ) It is the Company’s objective to contribute to the pension plans to ensure adequate funds, and no less than required by law, are available in the plans to make benefit payments to plan participants and beneficiaries when required. However, certain plans are not or cannot be funded due to either legal, accounting, or tax requirements in certain jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2019 , approximately seven percent of the Company's projected benefit obligation relates to plans that cannot be funded. The pretax amounts recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows: In millions Prior service benefit (cost) Net actuarial gains (losses) Total December 31, 2018 $ (31.2 ) $ (820.6 ) $ (851.8 ) Current year changes recorded to AOCI (5.7 ) (35.2 ) (40.9 ) Amortization reclassified to earnings 5.0 54.3 59.3 Settlements/curtailments reclassified to earnings — 2.2 2.2 Currency translation and other (0.5 ) (0.9 ) (1.4 ) December 31, 2019 $ (32.4 ) $ (800.2 ) $ (832.6 ) Weighted-average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation at December 31 are as follows: 2019 2018 Discount rate: U.S. plans 3.22 % 4.21 % Non-U.S. plans 1.66 % 2.47 % Rate of compensation increase: U.S. plans 4.00 % 4.00 % Non-U.S. plans 3.75 % 4.00 % The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $ 3,734.5 million and $ 3,364.6 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations more than plan assets were $ 3,405.7 million , $ 3,308.2 million and $ 2,645.1 million , respectively, as of December 31, 2019 , and $ 3,075.2 million , $ 2,992.0 million and $ 2,330.4 million , respectively, as of December 31, 2018 . Pension benefit payments are expected to be paid as follows: In millions 2020 $ 215.3 2021 219.1 2022 226.1 2023 230.7 2024 221.0 2025-2029 1,136.7 The components of the Company’s net periodic pension benefit costs for the years ended December 31 include the following: In millions 2019 2018 2017 Service cost $ 73.6 $ 75.0 $ 70.8 Interest cost 119.1 109.7 109.0 Expected return on plan assets (138.5 ) (146.6 ) (141.7 ) Net amortization of: Prior service costs (benefits) 5.0 4.2 3.8 Plan net actuarial (gains) losses 54.3 51.3 56.8 Net periodic pension benefit cost 113.5 93.6 98.7 Net curtailment, settlement, and special termination benefits (gains) losses 4.5 2.3 5.6 Net periodic pension benefit cost after net curtailment and settlement (gains) losses $ 118.0 $ 95.9 $ 104.3 Amounts recorded in continuing operations: Operating income $ 69.8 $ 72.7 $ 68.2 Other income/(expense), net 36.1 14.6 25.4 Amounts recorded in discontinued operations 12.1 8.6 10.7 Total $ 118.0 $ 95.9 $ 104.3 Net periodic pension benefit cost for 2020 is projected to be approximately $ 89 million . The amounts expected to be recognized in net periodic pension benefit cost during 2020 for prior service cost and plan net actuarial losses are approximately $ 5 million and $ 47 million , respectively. Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31 are as follows: 2019 2018 2017 Discount rate: U.S. plans Service cost 4.24 % 3.70 % 4.18 % Interest cost 3.88 % 3.24 % 3.36 % Non-U.S. plans Service cost 2.81 % 2.52 % 2.66 % Interest cost 2.83 % 2.46 % 2.50 % Rate of compensation increase: U.S. plans 4.00 % 4.00 % 4.00 % Non-U.S. plans 4.00 % 4.00 % 4.00 % Expected return on plan assets: U.S. plans 5.75 % 5.50 % 5.50 % Non-U.S. plans 3.25 % 3.25 % 3.25 % The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the average rate of returns expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on what is achievable given the plan’s investment policy, the types of assets held and target asset allocations. The expected long-term rate of return is determined as of the measurement date. The Company reviews each plan and its historical returns and target asset allocations to determine the appropriate expected long-term rate of return on plan assets to be used. The Company's objective in managing its defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit obligations are met as they come due. It seeks to achieve this goal while trying to mitigate volatility in plan funded status, contribution, and expense by better matching the characteristics of the plan assets to that of the plan liabilities. The Company utilizes a dynamic approach to asset allocation whereby a plan's allocation to fixed income assets increases as the plan's funded status improves. The Company monitors plan funded status and asset allocation regularly in addition to investment manager performance.

(b) This class includes group annuity and guaranteed interest contracts. (c) This class includes a private equity fund that invests in real estate. (d) This investment comprises the Company's non-significant, non-US pension plan assets. It primarily includes insurance contracts. Cash equivalents are valued using a market approach with inputs including quoted market prices for either identical or similar instruments. Fixed income securities are valued through a market approach with inputs including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes and issuer spreads. Commingled funds are valued at their daily net asset value (NAV) per share or the equivalent. NAV per share or the equivalent is used for fair value purposes as a practical expedient. NAVs are calculated by the investment manager or sponsor of the fund. Private real estate fund values are reported by the fund manager and are based on valuation or appraisal of the underlying investments. Refer to Note 10, "Fair Value Measurements" for additional information related to the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820. There have been no significant transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. The Company made required and discretionary contributions to its pension plans of $ 83.1 million in 2019 , $ 86.9 million in 2018 , and $ 101.4 million in 2017 and currently projects that it will contribute approximately $ 90 million to its plans worldwide in 2020 . The Company’s policy allows it to fund an amount, which could be in excess of or less than the pension cost expensed, subject to the limitations imposed by current tax regulations. However, the Company anticipates funding the plans in 2020 in accordance with contributions required by funding regulations or the laws of each jurisdiction. Most of the Company’s U.S. employees are covered by defined contribution plans. Employer contributions are determined based on criteria specific to the individual plans and amounted to approximately $140.2 million , $131.9 million , and $118.7 million in 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The Company’s contributions relating to non-U.S. defined contribution plans and other non-U.S. benefit plans were $56.7 million , $52.0 million and $ 47.7 million in 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , respectively. Multiemployer Pension Plans The Company also participates in a number of multiemployer defined benefit pension plans related to collectively bargained U.S. employees of Trane. The Company's contributions, and the administration of the fixed retirement payments, are determined by the terms of the related collective-bargaining agreements. These multiemployer plans pose different risks to the Company than single-employer plans, including: 1. The Company's contributions to multiemployer plans may be used to provide benefits to all participating employees of the program, including employees of other employers. 2. In the event that another participating employer ceases contributions to a plan, the Company may be responsible for any unfunded obligations along with the remaining participating employers. 3. If the Company chooses to withdraw from any of the multiemployer plans, the Company may be required to pay a withdrawal liability, based on the underfunded status of the plan. As of December 31, 2019 , the Company does not participate in any plans that are individually significant, nor is the Company an individually significant participant to any of these plans. Total contributions to multiemployer plans for the years ended December 31 were as follows: In millions 2019 2018 2017 Total contributions $ 10.4 $ 9.8 $ 9.0 Contributions to these plans may increase in the event that any of these plans are underfunded. Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions The Company sponsors several postretirement plans that provide for healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits that cover certain eligible employees. These plans are unfunded and have no plan assets, but are instead funded by the Company on a pay-as-you-go basis in the form of direct benefit payments. Generally, postretirement health benefits are contributory with contributions adjusted annually. Life insurance plans for retirees are primarily noncontributory. The following table details changes in the Company’s postretirement plan benefit obligations for the years ended December 31: In millions 2019 2018 Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 442.7 $ 528.0 Service cost 2.6 2.8 Interest cost 14.8 14.4 Plan participants’ contributions 7.7 9.1 Actuarial (gains) losses 6.7 (60.4 ) Benefits paid, net of Medicare Part D subsidy (1) (45.6 ) (50.2 ) Other (0.1 ) (1.0 ) Benefit obligations at end of year $ 428.8 $ 442.7 (1) Amounts are net of Medicare Part D subsidy of $0.8 million and $0.9 million in 2019 and 2018 , respectively The benefit plan obligations are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: In millions December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Accrued compensation and benefits $ (41.0 ) $ (45.1 ) Postemployment and other benefit liabilities (387.8 ) (397.6 ) Total $ (428.8 ) $ (442.7 ) The pre-tax amounts recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows: In millions Prior service benefit (cost) Net actuarial gains (losses) Total Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 0.3 $ 90.4 $ 90.7 Gain (loss) in current period — (6.7 ) (6.7 ) Amortization reclassified to earnings (0.3 ) (10.9 ) (11.2 ) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ — $ 72.8 $ 72.8 The components of net periodic postretirement benefit (income) cost for the years ended December 31 were as follows: In millions 2019 2018 2017 Service cost $ 2.6 $ 2.8 $ 3.1 Interest cost 14.8 14.4 15.7 Net amortization of: Prior service costs (benefits) (0.3 ) (3.8 ) (8.6 ) Net actuarial (gains) losses (10.9 ) (1.0 ) 0.1 Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 6.2 $ 12.4 $ 10.3 Amounts recorded in continuing operations: Operating income $ 2.6 $ 2.8 $ 3.1 Other income/(expense), net 3.2 7.3 5.6 Amounts recorded in discontinued operations 0.4 2.3 1.6 Total $ 6.2 $ 12.4 $ 10.3 Postretirement cost for 2020 is projected to be approximately $ 8 million .

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]	REVENUE The Company recognizes revenue when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. A majority of the Company's revenues are recognized at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in time per the terms of a contract. However, a portion of the Company's revenues are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives control as the Company performs work under a contract. For these arrangements, the cost-to-cost input method is used as it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as the Company incurs costs. Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a distinct good, service or a bundle of goods and services promised in a contract. The Company identifies performance obligations at the inception of a contract and allocates the transaction price to individual performance obligations to faithfully depict the Company’s performance in transferring control of the promised goods or services to the customer. The following are the primary performance obligations identified by the Company: Equipment and parts . The Company principally generates revenue from the sale of equipment and parts to customers and recognizes revenue at a point in time when control transfers to the customer. Transfer of control is generally determined based on the shipping terms of the contract. However, certain transactions within the Industrial segment include contracts to design, deliver and build highly engineered or customized equipment which have no alternative use for the Company in the event the customer cancels the contract. In addition, the Company has the right to payment for performance completed to date. As a result, revenues related to these contracts are recognized over time with progress towards completion measured using an input method as the basis to recognize revenue and an estimated profit. To-date efforts for work performed corresponds with and faithfully depicts transfer of control to the customer. Contracting and Installation . The Company enters into various construction-type contracts to design, deliver and build integrated solutions to meet customer specifications. These transactions, primarily included within the Climate segment, provide services that range from the development and installation of new HVAC systems to the design and integration of critical building systems to optimize energy efficiency and overall performance. These contracts have a typical term of less than one year and are considered a single performance obligation as multiple combined goods and services promised in the contract represent a single output delivered to the customer. Revenues associated with contracting and installation contracts are recognized over time with progress towards completion measured using an input method as the basis to recognize revenue and an estimated profit. To-date efforts for work performed corresponds with and faithfully depicts transfer of control to the customer. Services and Maintenance . The Company provides various levels of preventative and/or repair and maintenance type service agreements for its customers. The typical length of a contract is 12 months but can be as long as 60 months. Revenues associated with these performance obligations are primarily recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit provided by the Company. However, if historical evidence indicates that the cost of providing these services on a straight-line basis is not appropriate, revenue is recognized over the contract period in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred while performing the service. Certain repair services do not meet the definition of over time revenue recognition as the Company does not transfer control to the customer until the service is completed. As a result, revenue related to these services is recognized at a point in time. Extended warranties . The Company enters into various warranty contracts with customers related to its products. A standard warranty generally warrants that a product is free from defects in workmanship and materials under normal use and conditions for a certain period of time. The Company’s standard warranty is not considered a distinct performance obligation as it does not provide services to customers beyond assurance that the covered product is free of initial defects. An extended warranty provides a customer with additional time that the Company is liable for covered incidents associated with its products. Extended warranties are purchased separately and can last up to five years. As a result, they are considered separate performance obligations for the Company. Revenue associated with these performance obligations are primarily recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit provided by the Company. However, if historical evidence indicates that the cost of providing these services on a straight-line basis is not appropriate, revenue is recognized over the contract period in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred while performing the service. Refer to Note 22, "Commitments and Contingencies," for more information related to product warranties. The transaction price allocated to performance obligations reflects the Company’s expectations about the consideration it will be entitled to receive from a customer. To determine the transaction price, variable and noncash consideration are assessed as well as whether a significant financing component exists. The Company includes variable consideration in the estimated transaction price when it is probable that significant reversal of revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company considers historical data in determining its best estimates of variable consideration, and the related accruals are recorded using the expected value method. The Company has performance guarantees related to energy savings contracts that are provided under the maintenance portion of contracting and installation agreements extending from 2020-2047 . These performance guarantees represent variable consideration and are estimated as part of the overall transaction price. The Company has not recognized any significant adjustments to the transaction price due to variable consideration. The Company enters into sales arrangements that contain multiple goods and services, such as equipment, installation and extended warranties. For these arrangements, each good or service is evaluated to determine whether it represents a distinct performance obligation and whether the sales price for each obligation is representative of standalone selling price. If available, the Company utilizes observable prices for goods or services sold separately to similar customers in similar circumstances to evaluate relative standalone selling price. List prices are used if they are determined to be representative of standalone selling prices. Where necessary, the Company ensures that the total transaction price is then allocated to the distinct performance obligations based on the determination of their relative standalone selling price at the inception of the arrangement. The Company recognizes revenue for delivered goods or services when the delivered good or service is distinct, control of the good or service has transferred to the customer, and only customary refund or return rights related to the goods or services exist. The Company excludes from revenues taxes it collects from a customer that are assessed by a government authority. Disaggregated Revenue A summary of Net revenues by destination for the year ended at December 31 is as follows: In millions 2019 2018 Climate United States $ 9,143.5 $ 8,285.4 Non-U.S. 3,932.4 4,058.4 Total Climate $ 13,075.9 $ 12,343.8 Industrial United States $ 1,811.4 $ 1,763.6 Non-U.S. 1,711.6 1,560.8 Total Industrial $ 3,523.0 $ 3,324.4 A summary of Net revenues by major type of good or service for the year ended at December 31 is as follows: In millions 2019 2018 Climate Equipment $ 8,968.1 $ 8,425.6 Services and parts 4,107.8 3,918.2 Total Climate $ 13,075.9 $ 12,343.8 Industrial Equipment $ 2,171.4 $ 2,023.3 Services and parts 1,351.6 1,301.1 Total Industrial $ 3,523.0 $ 3,324.4 Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for approximately 85% and 84% of the Company's revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Contract Balances The opening and closing balances of contract assets and contract liabilities arising from contracts with customers for the period ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows: In millions 2019 2018 Contract assets $ 190.2 $ 210.9 Contract liabilities 1,042.9 846.2 The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable, contract assets, and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In general, the Company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule established in its contracts. Contract assets relate to the conditional right to consideration for any completed performance under the contract when costs are incurred in excess of billings under the percentage-of-completion methodology. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract or when the Company has a right to consideration that is unconditional before it transfers a good or service to the customer. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 , changes in contract asset and liability balances were not materially impacted by any other factors. Approximately 58% of the contract liability balance at December 31, 2018 was recognized as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2019 . Additionally, approximately 32% of the contract liability balance at December 31, 2019

Share-Based Compensation	Dec. 31, 2019
Share-based Payment Arrangement, Disclosure [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for stock-based compensation plans in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" (ASC 718), which requires a fair-value based method for measuring the value of stock-based compensation. Fair value is measured once at the date of grant and is not adjusted for subsequent changes. The Company’s share-based compensation plans include programs for stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance share units (PSUs), and deferred compensation. Under the Company's incentive stock plan, the total number of ordinary shares authorized by the shareholders is 23.0 million , of which 19.1 million remains available as of December 31, 2019 for future incentive awards. Compensation Expense Share-based compensation expense related to continuing operations is included in Selling and administrative expenses . The following table summarizes the expenses recognized: In millions 2019 2018 2017 Stock options $ 20.2 $ 23.5 $ 19.5 RSUs 26.5 30.4 26.4 PSUs 17.9 23.0 23.0 Deferred compensation 3.1 3.4 3.1 Other 3.5 0.5 1.6 Pre-tax expense 71.2 80.8 73.6 Tax benefit (17.3 ) (19.6 ) (28.2 ) After-tax expense $ 53.9 $ 61.2 $ 45.4 Grants issued during the year ended December 31 were as follows: 2019 2018 2017 Number Granted Weighted-average fair value per award Number Granted Weighted-average fair value per award Number Granted Weighted-average fair value per award Stock options 1,286,857 $ 17.17 1,541,025 $ 15.51 1,518,335 $ 13.46 RSUs 268,465 $ 102.98 327,411 $ 90.07 372,443 $ 81.09 Performance shares (1) 312,362 $ 111.12 363,342 $ 106.31 419,404 $ 93.68 (1) The number of performance shares represents the maximum award level. Stock Options / RSUs Eligible participants may receive (i) stock options, (ii) RSUs or (iii) a combination of both stock options and RSUs. The fair value of each of the Company’s stock option and RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the 3 -year vesting period. However, for stock options and RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes expense for the fair value at the grant date. The average fair value of the stock options granted is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used during the year ended December 31: 2019 2018 2017 Dividend yield 2.06 % 2.00 % 2.00 % Volatility 21.46 % 21.64 % 22.46 % Risk-free rate of return 2.46 % 2.48 % 1.80 % Expected life in years 4.8 4.8 4.8 A description of the significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock option awards is as follows: • Volatility - The expected volatility is based on a weighted average of the Company’s implied volatility and the most recent historical volatility of the Company’s stock commensurate with the expected life. • Risk-free rate of return -The Company applies a yield curve of continuous risk-free rates based upon the published US Treasury spot rates on the grant date. • Expected life - The expected life of the Company’s stock option awards represents the weighted-average of the actual period since the grant date for all exercised or canceled options and an expected period for all outstanding options. • Dividend yield - The Company determines the dividend yield based upon the expected quarterly dividend payments as of the grant date and the current fair market value of the Company’s stock. • Forfeiture Rate - The Company analyzes historical data of forfeited options to develop a reasonable expectation of the number of options to forfeit prior to vesting per year. This expected forfeiture rate is applied to the Company’s ongoing compensation expense; however, all expense is adjusted to reflect actual vestings and forfeitures. Changes in options outstanding under the plans for the years 2019 , 2018 and 2017 are as follows: Shares subject to option Weighted- average exercise price Aggregate intrinsic value (millions) Weighted- average remaining life (years) December 31, 2016 6,846,895 $ 47.81 Granted 1,518,335 80.27 Exercised (1,789,615 ) 42.79 Cancelled (220,733 ) 61.91 December 31, 2017 6,354,882 56.49 Granted 1,541,025 89.71 Exercised (1,515,955 ) 45.44 Cancelled (94,601 ) 79.53 December 31, 2018 6,285,351 66.95 Granted 1,286,857 101.42 Exercised (2,076,338 ) 56.17 Cancelled (76,624 ) 92.38 Outstanding December 31, 2019 5,419,246 $ 78.91 $ 292.7 6.8 Exercisable December 31, 2019 2,689,923 $ 64.22 $ 184.8 5.4 The following table summarizes information concerning currently outstanding and exercisable options: Options outstanding Options exercisable Range of exercise price Number outstanding at December 31, 2019 Weighted- average remaining life (years) Weighted- average exercise price Number outstanding at December 31, 2019 Weighted- average remaining life (years) Weighted- average exercise price $ 20.01 — $ 30.00 42,296 1.0 $ 24.72 42,296 1.0 $ 24.72 30.01 — 40.00 140,778 1.7 34.07 140,778 1.7 34.07 40.01 — 50.00 820,185 5.0 48.46 820,185 5.0 48.46 50.01 — 60.00 291,706 3.9 59.41 291,706 3.9 59.41 60.01 — 70.00 417,212 4.7 66.99 417,212 4.7 66.99 70.01 — 80.00 14,031 7.0 75.67 — 0.0 — 80.01 — 90.00 1,228,171 6.8 80.84 638,735 6.6 80.33 90.01 — 100.00 1,242,338 7.8 90.12 334,982 7.8 90.07 100.01 — 110.00 1,193,089 8.9 101.29 4,029 7.9 101.22 110.01 — 125.00 29,440 9.5 122.34 — 0.0 — $ 24.23 — $ 124.95 5,419,246 6.8 $ 78.91 2,689,923 5.4 $ 64.22 At December 31, 2019 , there was $12.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost from stock option arrangements granted under the plan, which is primarily related to unvested shares of non-retirement eligible employees. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $124.5 million and $74.1 million , respectively. Generally, stock options expire ten years from their date of grant. The following table summarizes RSU activity for the years 2019 , 2018 and 2017 : RSUs Weighted- average grant date fair value Outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2016 835,749 $ 56.95 Granted 372,443 81.09 Vested (370,397 ) 58.56 Cancelled (34,096 ) 63.79 Outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2017 803,699 $ 67.09 Granted 327,411 90.07 Vested (389,285 ) 64.88 Cancelled (20,186 ) 77.95 Outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2018 721,639 $ 78.40 Granted 268,465 102.98 Vested (364,817 ) 70.26 Cancelled (20,947 ) 89.64 Outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2019 604,340 $ 93.56 At December 31, 2019 , there was $ 16.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost from RSU arrangements granted under the plan, which is related to unvested shares of non-retirement eligible employees. Performance Shares The Company has a Performance Share Program (PSP) for key employees. The program provides awards in the form of PSUs based on performance against pre-established objectives. The annual target award level is expressed as a number of the Company's ordinary shares based on the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant. All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares. Beginning with the 2018 grant year, PSU awards are earned based 50% upon a performance condition, measured by relative Cash Flow Return on Invested Capital (CROIC) to the industrial group of companies in the S&P 500 Index over a 3-year performance period, and 50% upon a market condition, measured by the Company's relative total shareholder return (TSR) as compared to the TSR of the industrial group of companies in the S&P 500 Index over a 3 -year performance period. The fair value of the market condition is estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach in a risk-neutral framework based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates and correlation matrix. Awards granted prior to 2018 were earned based 50% upon a performance condition, measured by relative earnings-per-share (EPS) growth to the industrial group of companies in the S&P 500 Index over a 3 -year performance period, and 50% upon a market condition measured by the Company's relative TSR as compared to the TSR of the industrial group of companies in the S&P Index over a 3 -year performance period. The following table summarizes PSU activity for the maximum number of shares that may be issued for the years 2019 , 2018 and 2017 : PSUs Weighted-average grant date fair value Outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2016 1,423,796 $ 65.34 Granted 419,404 93.68 Vested (353,834 ) 65.35 Forfeited (124,830 ) 73.40 Outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2017 1,364,536 $ 73.31 Granted 363,342 106.31 Vested (309,306 ) 76.00 Forfeited (172,408 ) 90.89 Outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2018 1,246,164 $ 79.83 Granted 312,362 111.12 Vested (539,402 ) 53.76 Forfeited (34,194 ) 106.14 Outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2019 984,930 $ 103.12 At December 31, 2019 , there was $ 17.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost from PSU arrangements based on current performance, which is related to unvested shares. This compensation will be recognized over the required service period, which is generally the three-year vesting period. Deferred Compensation The Company allows key employees to defer a portion of their eligible compensation into a number of investment choices, including its ordinary share equivalents. Any amounts invested in ordinary share equivalents will be settled in ordinary shares of the Company at the time of distribution.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities A summary of the deferred tax accounts at December 31 are as follows: In millions 2019 2018 Deferred tax assets: Inventory and accounts receivable $ 17.7 $ 20.3 Fixed assets and intangibles 35.3 39.2 Operating lease liabilities 140.2 — Postemployment and other benefit liabilities 392.5 386.1 Product liability 70.0 95.1 Other reserves and accruals 157.1 147.6 Net operating losses and credit carryforwards 659.2 589.9 Other 40.6 34.9 Gross deferred tax assets 1,512.6 1,313.1 Less: deferred tax valuation allowances (373.7 ) (332.2 ) Deferred tax assets net of valuation allowances $ 1,138.9 $ 980.9 Deferred tax liabilities: Inventory and accounts receivable $ (20.0 ) $ (18.6 ) Fixed assets and intangibles (1,358.3 ) (1,220.9 ) Operating lease right-of-use assets (140.2 ) — Postemployment and other benefit liabilities (11.0 ) (9.7 ) Other reserves and accruals (12.5 ) (11.8 ) Product liability — (1.2 ) Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries (39.3 ) (39.5 ) Other (22.2 ) (10.6 ) Gross deferred tax liabilities (1,603.5 ) (1,312.3 ) Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ (464.6 ) $ (331.4 ) At December 31, 2019 , no deferred taxes have been provided for earnings of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, since these earnings have been, and under current plans will continue to be permanently reinvested in these subsidiaries. These earnings amount to approximately $ 4.4 billion which if distributed would result in additional taxes, which may be payable upon distribution, of approximately $400.0 million . At December 31, 2019 , the Company had the following operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards available to offset taxable income in prior and future years: In millions Amount Expiration Period U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforwards $ 766.2 2020-2038 U.S. Federal credit carryforwards 140.6 2022-2028 U.S. Capital loss carryforwards 36.3 Unlimited U.S. State net operating loss carryforwards 3,119.7 2020-Unlimited U.S. State credit carryforwards 35.2 2020-Unlimited Non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards 865.8 2020-Unlimited Non-U.S. credit carryforwards 7.7 Unlimited The U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards were incurred in various jurisdictions. The non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards were incurred in various jurisdictions, predominantly in Belgium, Brazil, China, India, Luxembourg, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Activity associated with the Company’s valuation allowance is as follows: In millions 2019 2018 2017 Beginning balance $ 332.2 $ 344.6 $ 184.5 Increase to valuation allowance 46.0 54.9 176.5 Decrease to valuation allowance (56.8 ) (55.1 ) (19.1 ) Write off against valuation allowance — (4.6 ) — Acquisition and purchase accounting 53.3 — — Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (1.0 ) (7.6 ) 2.7 Ending balance $ 373.7 $ 332.2 $ 344.6 During 2019, the Company recorded a $50.5 million reduction in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets primarily related to non-U.S. net operating losses. In addition, the Company recorded a $19.3 million increase in a valuation allowance for certain state net deferred tax assets as a result of revised projections of future state taxable income during the carryforward period. In addition, the Company recorded a $53.3 million valuation allowance in acquisition accounting related to deferred tax assets acquired in the PFS acquisition, primarily related to foreign tax credits, capital loss carryforwards and non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards. During 2018, the Company recorded a net addition to the valuation allowance related to excess foreign tax credits in the amount of $17.3 million . In addition, the Company recorded a $35 million reduction in a valuation allowance for certain state net deferred tax assets primarily the result of revised projections of future state taxable income during the carryforward period. During 2017, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $30 million on certain net deferred tax assets in Brazil that were no longer expected to be realized. In addition, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $100 million related to excess foreign tax credits generated as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act). Unrecognized tax benefits The Company has total unrecognized tax benefits of $ 78.2 million and $ 83.0 million as of December 31, 2019 , and December 31, 2018 , respectively. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the continuing operations effective tax rate are $ 54.1 million as of December 31, 2019 . A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: In millions 2019 2018 2017 Beginning balance $ 83.0 $ 120.5 $ 107.1 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 4.1 3.4 6.2 Additions based on tax positions related to prior years 10.0 23.5 16.8 Reductions based on tax positions related to prior years (14.0 ) (47.2 ) (8.6 ) Reductions related to settlements with tax authorities (0.9 ) (14.2 ) (4.8 ) Reductions related to lapses of statute of limitations (2.9 ) (0.9 ) (1.3 ) Translation (gain) loss (1.1 ) (2.1 ) 5.1 Ending balance $ 78.2 $ 83.0 $ 120.5 The Company records interest and penalties associated with the uncertain tax positions within its Provision for income taxes . The Company had reserves associated with interest and penalties, net of tax, of $ 16.9 million and $ 20.7 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company recognized a $ 1.0 million and a $ 13.4 million tax benefit, respectively, in interest and penalties, net of tax in continuing operations related to these uncertain tax positions. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company's tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlements of ongoing audits and/or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Although the outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, could potentially be reduced by up to approximately $ 4.4 million during the next 12 months. The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. These examinations on their own, or any subsequent litigation related to the examinations, may result in additional taxes or penalties against the Company. If the ultimate result of these audits differ from original or adjusted estimates, they could have a material impact on the Company’s tax provision. In general, the examination of the Company’s material tax returns are complete or effectively settled for the years prior to 2011, with certain matters prior to 2011 being resolved through appeals and litigation and also unilateral procedures as provided for under double tax treaties. Tax Cuts and Job Act In December 2017, the U.S. enacted the Act which made widespread changes to the Internal Revenue Code. The Act, among other things, reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% , requires companies to pay a transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously not subject to U.S. tax and creates new income taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118) which provided guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Act and allowed for adjustments to provisional amounts during a measurement period of up to one year. In accordance with SAB 118, we made reasonable estimates related to (1) the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax balances for the reduction in the tax rate (2) the liability for the transition tax and (3) the taxes accrued relating to the change in permanent reinvestment assertion for unremitted earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries. As a result, we recognized a net provisional income tax benefit of $21.0 million associated with these items in the fourth quarter of 2017. We completed the accounting for the income tax effects of the Act during 2018 and recorded $9.0 million of net measurement period adjustments as a component of Provision for income taxes during the year to increase the net provisional income tax benefit recorded as of December 31, 2017. A reconciliation of the provisional amounts reported to the final tax effect of the Act is as follows: In millions 2017 Provisional Amounts Reported 2018 Measurement Period Adjustments Final Tax Effects of the Act Remeasurement of deferred tax balances $ (300.6 ) $ 4.8 $ (295.8 ) Transition tax 160.7 24.6 185.3 Change in permanent reinvestment assertion 118.9 (38.4 ) 80.5 Income tax benefit, net $ (21.0 ) $ (9.0 ) $ (30.0 )

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block]	ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES Acquisitions and Equity Method Investments During 2019 , the Company acquired several businesses that complement existing products and services. Primary activity during 2019 related to the acquisition of PFS, reported within the Industrial segment. On May 15, 2019, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of PFS, a manufacturer of precision flow control equipment including precision dosing pumps and controls that serve the global water, oil and gas, agriculture, industrial and specialty market segments. Total cash paid, net of cash acquired, was approximately $1.46 billion . In addition, the Company acquired an independent dealer to support the ongoing strategy to expand our distribution network as well as other businesses that strengthen the Company's product portfolios, reported within the Climate segment. The aggregate cash paid for all acquisitions in 2019, net of cash acquired, totaled $1.54 billion and was financed through a combination of the issuance of senior notes and cash on hand. Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Credit Facilities" for more information regarding financing. Acquisitions are recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations" (ASC 805). As a result, the aggregate price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimate of fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets associated with these acquisitions totaled $687.7 million and primarily relate to trademarks and customer relationships. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and totaled $846.6 million . The preliminary allocation of the purchase price and related measurement period adjustments related to the PFS acquisition were as follows: In millions Preliminary May 15, 2019 Measurement Period Adjustments As Adjusted May 15, 2019 Current assets $ 124.8 $ (0.9 ) $ 123.9 Intangibles 662.2 — 662.2 Goodwill 888.0 (86.7 ) 801.3 Other noncurrent assets 48.4 (1.9 ) 46.5 Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities (72.3 ) 2.3 (70.0 ) Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities (195.9 ) 88.3 (107.6 ) Total purchase price, net of cash acquired $ 1,455.2 $ 1.1 $ 1,456.3 Accounts receivable and current liabilities were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximates fair value given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The estimate of fair value for inventory and property, plant and equipment are based on an assessment of the acquired assets condition as well as an evaluation of current market value of such assets. Measurement period adjustments primarily relate to changes in estimated deferred taxes as additional information was obtained during the measurement period, including assessment of realizability of certain acquired deferred tax assets and tax rates applicable to non-US intangible assets. The Company recorded intangible assets based on their preliminary estimate of fair value, which consisted of the following: In millions Weighted-average useful life ( in years ) May 15, Customer relationships 14 $ 457.6 Trade names Indefinite 168.2 Other 7 36.4 Total $ 662.2 The valuation of intangible assets was determined using an income approach methodology. The fair values of the customer relationship intangible assets were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method based on discounted projected net cash flows associated with the net earnings attributable to the acquired customer relationships. These projected cash flows are estimated over the remaining economic life of the intangible asset and are considered from a market participant perspective. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included projected revenue growth rates and customer attrition rates. The projected future cash flows are discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The fair values of the trade name intangible assets were estimated utilizing the relief from royalty method which is a form of the income approach based on royalty rates determined from observed market royalties applied to projected revenue supporting the trade names and discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets was recognized as goodwill. The goodwill is attributed primarily to the fair value of the expected cost synergies and revenue growth from PFS businesses and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The results of PFS are reported within the Industrial segment from the date of acquisition. During 2019 , the Company incurred $12.9 million of acquisition-related costs which are included in Selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The Company has not included pro forma financial information required under ASC 805 as the pro forma impact was deemed not material. During 2018, the Company acquired several businesses and entered into a joint venture. The aggregate cash paid, net of cash acquired, totaled $285.2 million and was funded through cash on hand. Ownership interests in a joint venture are accounted for under the equity method when the Company does not have a controlling financial interest and reported within Other noncurrent assets on the Balance Sheet. Primary activity during 2018 related to the acquisition of ICS Group Holdings Limited in January 2018. The business, reported within the Climate segment, specializes in the temporary rental of energy efficient chillers for commercial and industrial buildings across Europe. In addition, the Company acquired independent dealers to expand its distribution network. Intangible assets associated with these acquisitions totaled $45.2 million and primarily relate to trademarks and customer relationships. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and totaled $119.9 million . In addition, the Company completed its investment of a 50% ownership interest in a joint venture with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Mitsubishi) in May 2018. The joint venture, reported within the Climate segment, focuses on marketing, selling and supporting variable refrigerant flow (VRF) and ductless heating and air conditioning systems through Trane, American Standard and Mitsubishi channels in the U.S. and select Latin American countries. Ongoing results since the date of investment are accounted for under the equity method and are not considered material to the Company’s results of operations. During 2017, the Company acquired several businesses, including channel acquisitions, that complement existing products and services. Acquisitions within the Climate segment primarily consisted of independent dealers which support the ongoing strategy to expand the Company's distribution network. Acquisitions within the Industrial segment primarily consisted of a telematics business which builds upon our growing portfolio of connected assets. The aggregate cash paid, net of cash acquired, totaled $157.6 million and was funded through cash on hand. Divestitures The Company has retained obligations from previously sold businesses, including amounts related to the 2013 spin-off of its commercial and residential security business, that primarily include ongoing expenses for postretirement benefits, product liability and legal costs. The components of Discontinued operations, net of tax for the years ended December 31 are as follows: In millions 2019 2018 2017 Pre-tax earnings (loss) from discontinued operations $ 54.8 $ (85.5 ) $ (34.0 ) Tax benefit (expense) (14.2 ) 64.0 8.6 Discontinued operations, net of tax $ 40.6 $ (21.5 ) $ (25.4 ) Pre-tax earnings (loss) from discontinued operations includes costs associated with Ingersoll Rand Company for the settlement and defense of asbestos-related claims, insurance settlements on asbestos-related matters and the revaluation of its liability for potential future claims and recoveries. Refer to Note 22, "Commitments and Contingencies," for more information related to asbestos.

Commitments And Contingencies Abstract
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is involved in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental, asbestos, and product liability matters. In accordance with ASC 450, "Contingencies" (ASC 450), the Company records accruals for loss contingencies when it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this note, management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company. Environmental Matters The Company continues to be dedicated to environmental and sustainability programs to minimize the use of natural resources, and reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials from our manufacturing processes and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities. The Company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It has also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, the Company’s involvement is minimal. In estimating its liability, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based on the Company's understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future. Reserves for environmental matters are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $ 42.6 million and $ 41.2 million , respectively. Of these amounts $ 37.5 million and $ 36.1 million , respectively, relate to remediation of sites previously disposed by the Company. Asbestos-Related Matters Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries and former companies of ours are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims have been filed against either Ingersoll-Rand Company or Trane U.S. Inc. (Trane) and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by Ingersoll-Rand Company or Trane, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. None of our existing or previously-owned businesses were a producer or manufacturer of asbestos. The Company engages an outside expert to perform a detailed analysis and project an estimated range of the Company’s total liability for pending and unasserted future asbestos-related claims. In accordance with ASC 450, the Company records the liability at the low end of the range as it believes that no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. Asbestos-related defense costs are excluded from the liability and are recorded separately as services are incurred. The methodology used to prepare estimates relies upon and includes the following factors, among others: • the outside expert’s interpretation of a widely accepted forecast of the population likely to have been occupationally exposed to asbestos; • epidemiological studies estimating the number of people likely to develop asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancer; • the Company’s historical experience with the filing of non-malignancy claims and claims alleging other types of malignant diseases filed against the Company relative to the number of lung cancer claims filed against the Company; • the outside expert’s analysis of the number of people likely to file an asbestos-related personal injury claim against the Company based on such epidemiological and historical data and the Company’s claims history; • an analysis of the Company’s pending cases, by type of disease claimed and by year filed; • an analysis of the Company’s history to determine the average settlement and resolution value of claims, by type of disease claimed; • an adjustment for inflation in the future average settlement value of claims, at a 2.5% annual inflation rate, adjusted downward to 1.0% to take account of the declining value of claims resulting from the aging of the claimant population; and • an analysis of the period over which the Company has and is likely to resolve asbestos-related claims against it in the future (currently projected through 2053). At December 31, 2019 , over 73 percent of the open and active claims against the Company are non-malignant or unspecified disease claims. In addition, the Company has a number of claims which have been placed on inactive or deferred dockets and expected to have little or no settlement value against the Company. The Company’s liability for asbestos-related matters and the asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries are included in the following balance sheet accounts: In millions December 31, December 31, Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 63.0 $ 63.3 Other noncurrent liabilities 484.4 548.3 Total asbestos-related liabilities $ 547.4 $ 611.6 Other current assets $ 66.2 $ 69.2 Other noncurrent assets 237.8 199.0 Total asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries $ 304.0 $ 268.2 The Company's asbestos insurance receivable related to Ingersoll-Rand Company and Trane was $ 188.7 million and $ 115.3 million at December 31, 2019 , and $ 141.7 million and $ 126.5 million at December 31, 2018 , respectively. These receivables attributable to Ingersoll-Rand Company and Trane for probable insurance recoveries as of December 31, 2019 are entirely supported by settlement agreements between Ingersoll-Rand Company and Trane and their respective insurance carriers. Most of these settlement agreements constitute “coverage-in-place” arrangements, in which the insurer signatories agree to reimburse Ingersoll-Rand Company or Trane, as applicable, for specified portions of their respective costs for asbestos bodily injury claims and Ingersoll-Rand Company or Trane, as applicable, agrees to certain claims-handling protocols and grants to the insurer signatories certain releases and indemnifications. The costs associated with the settlement and defense of asbestos-related claims, insurance settlements on asbestos-related matters and the revaluation of the Company's liability for potential future claims and recoveries are included in the income statement within continuing operations or discontinued operations depending on the business to which they relate. Income and expenses associated with Ingersoll-Rand Company's asbestos-related matters are recorded within discontinued operations as they relate to previously divested businesses, primarily Ingersoll-Dresser Pump, which was sold by the Company in 2000. Income and expenses associated with Trane’s asbestos-related matters are recorded within continuing operations. The net income (expense) associated with these transactions for the years ended December 31, were as follows: In millions 2019 2018 2017 Continuing operations $ 7.0 $ (10.4 ) $ (3.1 ) Discontinued operations 68.2 (56.5 ) (11.9 ) Total $ 75.2 $ (66.9 ) $ (15.0 ) During the year ended December 31, 2019 , the Company reached settlements with several insurance carriers associated with pending asbestos insurance coverage litigation (as discussed below). All but one of these settlements relate to Ingersoll-Rand Company and are recorded within discontinued operations. The settlement that relates to Trane is recorded within continuing operations. During the year ended December 31, 2018 , the Company's valuation model was updated to address a change in potential future claims. The adjustment, which increased the asbestos-related liability for both Ingersoll-Rand Company and Trane, was partially offset by asbestos-related receivables from insurance carriers. During the year ended December 31, 2017 , the Company recorded an adjustment to update its liability for potential future claims. This amount was partially offset by asbestos-related settlements reached with various insurance carriers. In 2012 and 2013, Ingersoll-Rand Company filed actions in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County, seeking a declaratory judgment and other relief regarding the Company's rights to defense and indemnity for asbestos claims. The defendants were several dozen solvent insurance companies, including companies that had been paying a portion of Ingersoll-Rand Company's asbestos claim defense and indemnity costs. The responding defendants generally challenged the Company's right to recovery, and raised various coverage defenses. As of December 31, 2019 , Ingersoll-Rand Company has resolved both actions through settlements with all of the remaining solvent insurer defendants. The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets are based on currently available information. The Company’s actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the calculations vary significantly from actual results. Key assumptions underlying the estimated asbestos-related liabilities include the number of people occupationally exposed and likely to develop asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancer, the number of people likely to file an asbestos-related personal injury claim against the Company, the average settlement and resolution of each claim and the percentage of claims resolved with no payment. Furthermore, predictions with respect to estimates of the liability are subject to greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. Other factors that may affect the Company’s liability include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal tort reform legislation. The aggregate amount of the stated limits in insurance policies available to the Company for asbestos-related claims acquired, over many years and from many different carriers, is substantial. However, limitations in that coverage, primarily due to the considerations described above, are expected to result in the projected total liability to claimants substantially exceeding the probable insurance recovery. Warranty Liability Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available. The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the year ended December 31, were as follows: In millions 2019 2018 Balance at beginning of period $ 278.9 $ 270.5 Reductions for payments (153.1 ) (159.0 ) Accruals for warranties issued during the current period 155.9 158.2 Changes to accruals related to preexisting warranties 3.8 11.5 Translation (0.8 ) (2.3 ) Balance at end of period $ 284.7 $ 278.9 Standard product warranty liabilities are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities , or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term. The Company's total current standard product warranty reserve at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $ 157.6 million and $ 149.5 million , respectively. The Company's extended warranty liability represents the deferred revenue associated with its extended warranty contracts and is amortized into Net revenues on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless another method is more representative of the costs incurred. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liability by evaluating the expected costs under its existing contracts to ensure these expected costs do not exceed the extended warranty liability. The changes in the extended warranty liability for the year ended December 31, were as follows: In millions 2019 2018 Balance at beginning of period $ 292.2 $ 293.0 Amortization of deferred revenue for the period (120.9 ) (115.0 ) Additions for extended warranties issued during the period 133.2 116.1 Changes to accruals related to preexisting warranties (0.4 ) (0.5 ) Translation — (1.4 ) Balance at end of period $ 304.1 $ 292.2 The extended warranty liability is classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on the timing of when the deferred revenue is expected to be amortized into Net revenues . The Company's total current extended warranty liability at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $ 107.3 million and $ 103.1 million , respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company incurred costs of $ 63.7 million and $ 63.2 million , respectively, related to extended warranties.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segment Information	BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that the operating segments’ results are prepared on a management basis that is consistent with the manner in which the Company prepares financial information for internal review and decision making. The Company largely evaluates performance based on Segment operating income and Segment operating margins. Intercompany sales between segments are considered immaterial. The Company's Climate segment delivers energy-efficient products and innovative energy services. It includes Trane ® and American Standard ® Heating & Air Conditioning which provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and commercial and residential building services, parts, support and controls; energy services and building automation through Trane Building Advantage TM and Nexia TM ; and Thermo King ® transport temperature control solutions. The Company's Industrial segment delivers products and services that enhance energy efficiency, productivity and operations. It includes compressed air and gas systems and services, power tools, material handling systems, fluid management systems, as well as Club Car ® golf, utility and rough terrain vehicles.

The following table shows the Company’s guarantor relationships as of December 31, 2019 : Parent, issuer or guarantors Notes issued Notes guaranteed (1) Ingersoll-Rand plc (Plc) None All registered notes and debentures Ingersoll-Rand Irish Holdings Unlimited Company (Irish Holdings) None All notes issued by Global Holding and Lux Finance Ingersoll-Rand Lux International Holding Company S.a.r.l.

Each guarantee is full and unconditional, and provided on a joint and several basis. There are no significant restrictions of the Parent Company, or any guarantor, to obtain funds from its subsidiaries, such as provisions in debt agreements that prohibit dividend payments, loans or advances to the parent by a subsidiary. Basis of presentation The following Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of each issuer or guarantor on a legal entity basis. The financial information for all periods has been presented based on the Company’s legal entity ownerships and guarantees outstanding at December 31, 2019 . Assets and liabilities are attributed to each issuer and guarantor generally based on legal entity ownership. Investments in subsidiaries of the Parent Company, subsidiary guarantors and issuers represent the proportionate share of their subsidiaries’ net assets. Certain adjustments are needed to consolidate the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, including the elimination of investments in subsidiaries and related activity that occurs between entities in different columns. These adjustments are presented in the Consolidating Adjustments column. This basis of presentation is intended to comply with the specific reporting requirements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors, and is not intended to present the Company’s financial position or results of operations or cash flows for any other purpose. Transfers of businesses within a consolidated group should be reflected on a retrospective basis in the Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements for all periods presented. As a result, the Company updated its Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements to recast the presentation of certain subsidiaries between the New Jersey and Other Subsidiaries columns in connection with the proposed separation of the Industrial Segment businesses. These modifications relate to fourth quarter 2019 intercompany transactions that changed the ownership of certain IR Industrial businesses reported in the New Jersey column to a newly created entity reported within the Other Subsidiaries column.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)	Dec. 31, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of all discontinued operations have been separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Certain reclassifications of amounts reported in prior periods have been made to conform with the current period presentation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company. A noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is considered an ownership interest in a majority-owned subsidiary that is not attributable to the parent. The Company includes Noncontrolling interest as a component of Total equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented as an adjustment from Net earnings used to arrive at Net earnings attributable to Ingersoll-Rand plc in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Partially-owned equity affiliates represent 20 - 50 % ownership interests in investments where the Company demonstrates significant influence, but does not have a controlling financial interest. Partially-owned equity affiliates are accounted for under the equity method.
Use of Estimates, Policy	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the statement of operations in the period that they are determined.
Currency Translation	Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated at year-end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts have been translated using average exchange rates throughout the year. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating an entity’s financial statements into the U.S. dollar have been recorded in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) . Transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are subject to changes in exchange rates with the resulting gains and losses recorded within Net earnings .
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less. The Company maintains amounts on deposit at various financial institutions, which may at times exceed federally insured limits. However, management periodically evaluates the credit-worthiness of those institutions and has not experienced any losses on such deposits.
Inventories	Depending on the business, U.S. inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Non-U.S. inventories are primarily stated at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO method. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 , approximately 54% and 56% , respectively, of all inventory utilized the LIFO method.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable which represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent in the Company's accounts receivable portfolio. This estimate is based upon a two-step policy that results in the total recorded allowance for doubtful accounts. The first step is to record a portfolio reserve based on the aging of the outstanding accounts receivable portfolio and the Company's historical experience with the Company's end markets, customer base and products. The second step is to create a specific reserve for significant accounts as to which the customer's ability to satisfy their financial obligation to the Company is in doubt due to circumstances such as bankruptcy, deteriorating operating results or financial position. In these circumstances, management uses its judgment to record an allowance based on the best estimate of probable loss, factoring in such considerations as the market value of collateral, if applicable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period that they are determined. The Company reserved $ 42.2 million and $ 32.7 million for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Assets placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset except for leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of their economic useful life or their lease term. The range of useful lives used to depreciate property, plant and equipment is as follows: Buildings 10 to 50 years Machinery and equipment 2 to 12 years Software 2 to 7 years Major expenditures for replacements and significant improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are also capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amounts of assets that are sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected within current earnings. Per ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment" (ASC 360), the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with ASC 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" (ASC 350), goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset is more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment of goodwill is assessed at the reporting unit level and begins with an optional qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the goodwill impairment test under ASC 350. For those reporting units that bypass or fail the qualitative assessment, the test compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill in that reporting unit. Intangible assets such as patents, customer-related intangible assets and other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. The weighted-average useful lives approximate the following: Customer relationships 17 years Patents 10 years Other 10 years The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group.
Income Taxes	Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not. The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets considering its historic profitability, projected future taxable income, timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of its tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance with respect to a future tax benefit.
Standard Product Warranty, Policy	Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available.
Extended Product Warranty, Policy	The Company's extended warranty liability represents the deferred revenue associated with its extended warranty contracts and is amortized into Revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless another method is more representative of the costs incurred. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liability by evaluating the expected costs under its existing contracts to ensure these expected costs do not exceed the extended warranty liability.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue is recognized when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. A majority of the Company's revenues are recognized at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in time per the terms of a contract. However, a portion of the Company's revenues are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives control as the Company performs work under a contract. For these arrangements, the cost-to-cost input method is used as it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as the Company incurs costs. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding revenue recognition.
Regulatory Environmental Costs, Policy	The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to protecting the environment. Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to existing conditions caused by past operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenues, are expensed. Liabilities for remediation costs are recorded when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated, generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action. The assessment of this liability, which is calculated based on existing remediation technology, does not reflect any offset for possible recoveries from insurance companies, and is not discounted
Asbestos Matters	Certain of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries and former companies are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. The Company records a liability for actual and anticipated future claims as well as an asset for anticipated insurance settlements. Asbestos-related defense costs are excluded from the asbestos claims liability and are recorded separately as services are incurred. None of the Company's existing or previously-owned businesses were a producer or manufacturer of asbestos. The Company records certain income and expenses associated with asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries within discontinued operations, net of tax, as they relate to previously divested businesses, except for amounts associated with Trane U.S. Inc.’s asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries which are recorded within continuing operations.
Research and Development Expense, Policy	The Company conducts research and development activities for the purpose of developing and improving new products and services. These expenditures are expensed when incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , these expenditures amounted to $237.0 million , $228.7 million and $210.8 million , respectively.
Compensation Related Costs, Policy	The Company provides a range of benefits, including pensions, postretirement and postemployment benefits to eligible current and former employees. Determining the cost associated with such benefits is dependent on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation increases, mortality, turnover rates, and healthcare cost trend rates. Actuaries perform the required calculations to determine expense in accordance with GAAP. Actual results may differ from the actuarial assumptions and are generally accumulated into Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into Net earnings over future periods. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends, if appropriate.
Loss Contingencies	Liabilities are recorded for various contingencies arising in the normal course of business. The Company has recorded reserves in the financial statements related to these matters, which are developed using input derived from actuarial estimates and historical and anticipated experience data depending on the nature of the reserve, and in certain instances with consultation of legal counsel, internal and external consultants and engineers. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for these types of liabilities, the Company believes its estimated reserves are reasonable and does not believe the final determination of the liabilities with respect to these matters would have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company for any year.
Recent adopted accounting pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (ASC 842), which requires the lease rights and obligations arising from lease contracts, including existing and new arrangements, to be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company adopted this standard using a modified-retrospective approach as of January 1, 2019. Under this approach, the Company recognized and recorded a right-of-use (ROU) asset and related lease liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet of $521 million with no impact to Retained earnings . Reporting periods prior to January 1, 2019 continue to be presented in accordance with previous lease accounting guidance under GAAP. As part of the adoption, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which includes the ability to carry forward historical lease classification. Refer to Note 11, “Leases,” for a further discussion on the adoption of ASC 842. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and hedging (Topic 815): Targeted improvements to accounting for hedging activities" (ASU 2017-12). This standard more closely aligns the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. This standard also addresses specific limitations in current GAAP by expanding hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and by refining the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity’s hedging strategies. Additionally, by aligning the timing of recognition of hedge results with the earnings effect of the hedged item for cash flow and net investment hedges, and by including the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is presented, the results of an entity’s hedging program and the cost of executing that program will be more visible to users of financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2018 with no material impact to the financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory” (ASU 2016-16) which removed the prohibition in Topic 740 against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. As a result, the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory will be recognized in the current period income statement rather than being deferred until the assets leave the consolidated group. The Company applied ASU 2016-16 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment which reduced Retained earnings by $9.1 million as of January 1, 2018. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606), which created a comprehensive, five-step model for revenue recognition that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Under ASC 606, a company will be required to use more judgment and make more estimates when considering contract terms as well as relevant facts and circumstances when identifying performance obligations, estimating the amount of variable consideration in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase Retained earnings by $2.4 million with related amounts not materially impacting the Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 13, “Revenue,” for a further discussion on the adoption of ASC 606. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" (ASU 2016-09), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. The standard makes several modifications to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. In addition, ASU 2016-09 clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2017 and prospectively presented any excess tax benefits or deficiencies in the income statement as a component of Provision for income taxes rather than in the Equity section of the Balance Sheet. As part of the adoption, the Company reclassified $15.1 million of excess tax benefits previously unrecognized on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase Retained earnings as of January 1, 2017. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies certain aspects of income tax accounting guidance in ASC 740, reducing the complexity of its application. Certain exceptions to ASC 740 presented within the ASU include: intraperiod tax allocation, deferred tax liabilities related to outside basis differences, year-to-date loss in interim periods, among others. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 including interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the ASU on its financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract" (ASU 2018-15), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a cloud-computing arrangement service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. In addition, the guidance also clarifies the presentation requirements for reporting such costs in the financial statements. ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, this ASU will be applied on a prospective basis and is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
