Executive Summary
Iconergy’s relationship with Poudre School District began in 2002, when Iconergy staff commissioned Fossil Ridge High School—recognized as the first LEED-certified high school in the United States. Since then, Iconergy has supported the District through a portfolio of high-performance new construction and major renovation projects, including recurring bond-funded modernizations. Between 2012 and 2016, Iconergy provided commissioning, retro-commissioning, and/or energy modeling services for one to four major renovation projects annually, focused on modernizing aging mechanical and control systems and improving energy performance while meeting district budgets and schedules.
