Ice Air, a leading manufacturer of energy-efficient HVAC and domestic hot water solutions, has announced the launch of its new Energy Comparison Calculator, the Ice Air Emodeler. Building owners, developers, and property managers can instantly evaluate the potential savings of switching to Ice Air’s innovative All Climate Comfort equipment.

Available now at https://www.ice-air.com/emodeler/, Emodeler compares a building’s existing HVAC system to Ice Air’s high-performance air source heat pumps (PTHPs) and domestic hot water heaters (HPWHs). With just a few basic inputs such as building address, building type, year of construction, square footage, and energy source — Emodler delivers projected energy savings, emission reductions, and cost savings in less than a minute.

“Helping our customers navigate the transition to electrification and decarbonization is central to our mission,” said Ric Nadel, founder and CEO of Ice Air. “Emodeler is a fast, user-friendly tool that brings clarity to the decision-making process and shows just how much positive impact Ice Air’s innovative products can have on their business.”

For users unfamiliar with their building details, Ice Air also offers instant assistance through its innovative LL97 AI Bot, which reveals key building data needed for an accurate model.

How Emodeler Works

Users simply enter their information; select the Ice Air solution they are interested in — whether Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps (PTHPs) or Domestic Hot Water Heaters (HPWHs) — and choose utility rate data (customized or defaulted). Once submitted, the tool generates a personalized savings report in less than a minute. The results, including annual emissions reductions, energy use comparisons, and projected cost savings, are provided in a convenient downloadable PDF file for immediate reference.

A recent Emodeler sample project for the high-rise building located at 1290 Avenue of the Americas modeled potential energy savings ranging from 49.3% to 61.9% for heating, cooling, and water heating with installation of Ice Air’s RSXC equipment. The projected emissions reductions and operating cost savings highlight the transformative impact that efficient electrification solutions can have on building performance.

With energy regulations tightening and Local Law 97 (LL97) deadlines approaching in cities like New York Emodeler can be critical for helping building owners achieve compliance while maximizing return on investment.

“Penalties for New York City’s Local Law 97 begin now,” Tom Glass, national marketing and sales direct at Ice Air reminds people. “Buildings subject to LL97 will face fines if they fail to submit an annual emissions report by May 1, 2025, or if they exceed their permitted emissions limits. We created Emodeler to help our customers meet sustainability mandates profitably.”
