Energy Efficiency & Retrofits.
Mechanical-scope energy efficiency improvements for commercial HVAC systems. Equipment retrofits and upgrades — no energy consulting or audits.
Specialty-Overlay Service
Energy efficiency and retrofit work at Icebox is a specialty overlay that focuses on the mechanical scope of efficiency improvements. Icebox does not provide energy consulting, energy audits, energy benchmarking, or savings projections. Our scope is limited to the mechanical HVAC work — the equipment replacement, retrofit, and upgrade execution that delivers physical improvements to the building's mechanical systems.
Mechanical-Scope Efficiency Work
Icebox performs the following types of mechanical-scope efficiency work for commercial buildings:
- High-efficiency HVAC equipment replacements
- VRF/VRV system installations and conversions
- Economizer installation and retrofit
- Variable-frequency drive (VFD) retrofits for motors, fans, and pumps
- Controls upgrades and BMS optimization (mechanical scope)
- Heat-recovery system installation
- Equipment right-sizing based on current load calculations
What This Is Not
Icebox is a mechanical contractor, not an energy consultant. We do not provide energy audits, savings projections, ROI analyses, regulatory compliance consulting, or energy benchmarking services. We do not provide quantified savings claims. Energy savings depend on many factors beyond the mechanical scope, and Icebox does not project, estimate, or guarantee savings outcomes.
When a building owner or manager has already identified the mechanical scope of their efficiency improvement — whether through their own analysis, a third-party energy audit, or a regulatory compliance strategy — Icebox executes that mechanical work.
