About Us

ABOUT ICE

ICE’s in-house Cx team is comprised of the following experienced professionals: Registered Professional Engineers (Mechanical and Electrical), LEED Accredited Professionals, ACG Commissioning Authorities (CxA), Registered Architects, Energy Management Professionals (EMP), and Certified Field-Testing Engineers. This provides a core independent team of professionals that not only understands all phases of a project, but that can conduct its own “hands-on” functional performance testing (FPT) to identify deficiencies and provide viable solutions.

ABOUT US

Welcome to International Commissioning Engineers (ICE). Our mission is to ensure that Owners receive the highest quality construction, environmentally safe and energy efficient buildings as possible stopping building failure, which is a concern of all building owners. ICE commissioning programs are customized to prevent those concerns.

History

In 1996 Mr. Mike Young, CEO along with other Professional Engineers combined the realm of independent HVAC performance testing with the theory of Professional Engineering to form International Commissioning Engineers (ICE). ICE’s professionals have been functionally testing building systems long before it was called commissioning. ICE believes it is our unique, independent, multi-disciplined, “hands-on” approach that sets us apart in the Cx industry. A commissioning agency must have on-staff professionals to conduct inspections and perform functional performance testing in conjunction with the appropriate contractor(s). In-lieu of having the installing contractors self-perform functional testing and provide the results to the commissioning authority.
One of the main reasons that ICE was formed was due to obvious new building failures to be either energy efficient or perform as expected, this was becoming commonplace in the construction industry. ICE’s founders realized that any approach to solving this industry dilemma must include an independent multi-disciplinary field performance and verification test of the building systems and their sub-systems, to help prevent costly non-performing buildings from becoming the owner’s ongoing health risk, energy consumer, maintenance headache and/or capital expenditure nightmare.
