Controls & Building Management Systems.
Platform-agnostic BMS integration and DDC controls for commercial HVAC systems. Workmanship-focused, not integration-guaranteed.
At a glance
Controls at a glance
Four platforms
Honeywell, Siemens, Trane Tracer, and Johnson Controls Metasys, without vendor lock-in.
Pneumatic to DDC
Actuators, controllers, and sequences replaced and programmed as part of retrofits.
Sequences verified
Startup confirms each point, sequence, and alarm before handover.
Workmanship warranted
Icebox warrants its workmanship. Integration performance outcomes are not guaranteed.
Specialty-Overlay Service
Controls and BMS work at Icebox is a specialty overlay that layers on top of core HVAC installation, retrofit, and service projects. Icebox does not offer stand-alone controls engineering as a separate professional service. Controls scope is always tied to a broader mechanical project.
Where comfort gets decided
Controls are where comfort and energy actually get decided
A perfectly installed rooftop unit with the wrong sequence still overcools the lobby at 7 a.m. and runs the economizer in August. Icebox treats controls as part of the mechanical scope: sensors placed where they measure the space, setpoints and schedules that match how the building is used, and BMS points that a building engineer can actually read.
For older buildings, pneumatic-to-DDC conversion replaces leaking actuators and receiver-controllers with digital controls that can be scheduled, trended, and alarmed. Work is scoped as part of a broader HVAC project rather than as stand-alone engineering.
- Controller, sensor, and actuator installation
- Sequence-of-operation programming
- BMS point mapping and head-end verification
- Pneumatic-to-DDC conversion
- Schedule, setpoint, and alarm configuration
BMS Platforms
Icebox works across four major building management system platforms:
Our approach is platform-agnostic. Icebox is not locked to a single vendor and can work with existing BMS infrastructure regardless of the installed platform. This allows building owners to maintain their current systems without being forced into a platform change during equipment upgrades.
DDC Controls & Pneumatic-to-DDC Conversion
Icebox installs, programs, and commissions direct digital control (DDC) systems for commercial HVAC equipment. For older buildings with legacy pneumatic controls, Icebox performs pneumatic-to-DDC conversions including actuator replacement, controller installation, sequence programming, and BMS integration.
Performance-Scope Qualifier
Icebox warrants workmanship on all controls and BMS work. Integration performance outcomes are not guaranteed. Building automation performance depends on many factors beyond the controls installation, including equipment condition, building envelope characteristics, occupancy patterns, and network infrastructure. Icebox performs its scope of work according to industry standards and project specifications.
Controls scope
- DDC controllers
- Thermostats and space sensors
- Damper and valve actuators
- VFD integration
- Economizer controls
- CO2 and demand-controlled ventilation
- BMS integration and point mapping
- Alarm and trend configuration
Icebox is not an authorized dealer, distributor, or agent of any manufacturer.
