Design-Build Retrofitting
Iconergy’s design-build service uses an integrated process to deliver turnkey projects to building owners who value cost-effective, timely delivery, and one point of accountability for their projects.
Stay ahead of the curve while reducing your operational costs.
Design-build retrofitting is a service that allows us to engineer every aspect of your building’s energy systems to your exact needs. If your building’s environmental equipment is approaching its determined end of useful life (typically two decades depending on the equipment), chances are it’s time to begin putting an upgrade or replacement plan in place.
A comprehensive retrofit can significantly reduce energy costs, improve occupant comfort, make your building EUI compliant, and even increase the property value.
Overview of Design-Build Retrofitting
Design-build retrofitting is a comprehensive approach to upgrading existing building systems to improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and enhance occupant comfort. Projects can include HVAC, lighting, electrical and water systems, building envelope improvements, and renewable energy solutions — all delivered through a single, integrated design and construction process.
From energy modeling and system design through installation and measurement and verification, Iconergy works closely with clients to ensure upgrades are holistic, data-driven, and built for long-term performance. The result is a modernized facility that meets current energy standards while positioning your building for future efficiency and compliance goals.
Benefits of Design-Build Retrofitting
Reduce Energy & Operating Costs
Comprehensive system upgrades lower energy and water consumption, resulting in sustained utility savings and reduced operating expenses over time.
Improve Occupant Comfort
Modern HVAC, insulation, and building envelope upgrades improve indoor air quality and temperature control, creating healthier, more comfortable spaces.
Increase System Efficiency
Upgrading interconnected systems holistically reduces waste, improves performance, and eliminates inefficiencies that incremental fixes often miss.
Support Long-Term Reliability
Design-build retrofits create resilient systems that require less frequent maintenance and are easier to expand or upgrade in the future.
Ensure Code & Ordinance Compliance
Replacing outdated equipment helps buildings meet current energy codes and EUI standards while reducing the risk of future penalties.
Deliver Proven, Measurable Savings
Iconergy regularly meets or exceeds projected savings, reducing utility bills by an average of more than 20% through data-driven design and execution.
How We Approach Design-Build Retrofitting
Our design-build retrofitting approach begins with a deep understanding of your building, energy needs, and project goals, developed through close collaboration with your team from day one. Each solution is customized within a flexible framework, then measured and verified to ensure real, data-backed improvements in efficiency and performance, so results are not only delivered, but proven.
Site Analysis: We start by conducting a comprehensive energy audit of the building, which involves analyzing energy bills, conducting on-site inspections, and evaluating existing systems and equipment.
Design & Iteration: Once we have a better understanding of your facility, our experienced engineers will go to work designing a strategy to suit your needs. We’ll design not only around individual energy systems but the system as a whole to ensure cohesive operations.
Implementation: We work closely with our clients to select the most logical equipment to upgrade and replace that has the best return on investment and we lead the process of implementing that plan.
Measurement & Verification: We monitor the building's energy usage to ensure that the new systems are performing as expected. We’ll provide ongoing measurement, maintenance, and verification, so you can rest assured your new systems have better energy efficiency.
