Okay. Great. So we're going to wrap up this trio of industrial fireside chats with Trane. And very pleased to welcome back to the Wolfe Conference. Chris Kuehn, CFO of Trane; and Donny Simmons, who's the President of the Americas for Trane Technologies. And the Americas is what, 2/3 of the business, Donny. So it's..

Donald Simmons
Group President of Americas

Yes. A little higher than that..

Nigel Coe

A little bit higher than that. Yes, Math is not my strong suit. So -- but great to have you both here. Thanks for taking the time. Chris, I think maybe spend a minute or so just set the scene, and then we'll get into Q&A.

Christopher Kuehn
Executive VP & CFO

Yes. Nigel, thanks for having Donny and I and Pat here at the conference. Good to be back in New York. We know it's going to be a very warm day in New York and maybe a warm couple of days this week. So look, the company had a strong start to the year. Maybe a highlight in the first quarter for us where bookings were up 24%. Think of that in Donny's space. Commercial HVAC bookings were up 40% in the first quarter. Applied bookings were up over 160%. So we had a really good start to the year. Backlog reached $10.7 billion at the end of the first quarter. That's up nearly $3 billion from the start of the year. And think of that as 2/3 organic and about 1/3 from acquisitions.
