Mount Vernon, NY – Ice Air, a leading provider of innovative HVAC solutions, is proud to announce that it has become a Silver Sponsor of New York Passive House (NYPH), an organization that provides standards that reduce the energy consumption of buildings and pave the way to a more sustainable future.
Passive House delivers a building standard that relies on a combination of energy efficiency, passive solar and internal heat gains. The standard aims to reduce space heating demands and simplify heat delivery. Builders and engineers can implement Passive House standards by controlling for airtightness and energy consumption, and utilizing field tested energy modeling programs like the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP).
With Passive House, developers can lower heating and cooling demands by up to 90% and reduce total building energy consumption by up to 75% compared to standard projects. Passive House aims to dramatically reduce carbon consumption to meet evolving climate demands while also improving indoor comfort, air quality, and efficiency for a healthier and more resilient built environment.
Organizations like Ice Air that specialize in sustainable heating and cooling solutions play a major role in Passive House’s mission. As a Silver Sponsor, Ice Air has the opportunity to prepare and present webinars with NYPH. Ice Air develops and manufactures a wide variety of indoor HVAC solutions, including packaged through-wall systems, geothermal water source heat pumps for space heating and cooling, and commercial size heat pumps. Ice Air products reduce energy consumption while improving efficiency in a small footprint, making them ideal for sustainably designed spaces.
“Ice Air has always been at the forefront of reducing the energy consumption of buildings,” said Ric Nadel, Ice Air Founder and CEO. “Our valued customers see our involvement with New York Passive House as a continuation of that leadership. We are thrilled about how working with the organization will benefit current customers and attract new ones.”
Ice Air was recently awarded a grant by the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain (MESC) within the Department of Energy (DOE) to support the manufacturing needed to meet the anticipated growing demand for electric heat pump HVAC equipment. Driving this award was Ice Air’s efficient and durable packaged through-wall systems, geothermal water source heat pumps for space heating and cooling, and commercial size heat pumps for water heating and cooling.
“Ice Air will be conducting a webinar to New York Passive House members in the near future,” announced Tom Glass, Sales and Marketing Director. “Passive House puts true zero energy buildings within reach, and Ice Air intends to use their innovative technology to help them accomplish that goal.”
