    Dry Ice Blasting for Commercial Property Management

    Multi-tenant facilities, HVAC coils, parking structures.

    Overview

    Class A office, retail, and mixed-use property managers in the Mountain West get squeezed between tenant satisfaction, energy benchmarking (Energy Star, LEED O+M), and CapEx discipline. Summit Cryo cleans HVAC coils, parking structures, and back-of-house equipment after-hours — no tenant disruption, no process water in the building, and a documented CapEx maintenance trail.

    The Problem

    Why traditional methods fall short

    Commercial property managers have to balance tenant disruption, capital preservation, and energy efficiency. Dirty HVAC coils alone can cost 20–30% in efficiency, which directly hits your Energy Star score and tenant chargebacks. Conventional cleaning means displacing tenants and dragging hoses through occupied spaces — neither is acceptable in Class A.

    Our Approach

    How Summit Cryo solves it

    We work nights and weekends in occupied buildings. Coil cleaning, parking structure surface refresh, and back-of-house equipment cleaning all happen without added process water introduced to the building. Documented per-asset for your CapEx file and your engineering team's preventive-maintenance log.

    Process

    How a commercial property management engagement runs

    1. 01
      Building walk with chief engineer

      We map RTUs, AHUs, parking-structure scopes, and back-of-house equipment. Scope written in your engineer's language.

    2. 02
      Tenant-friendly scheduling

      Nights, weekends, and off-peak windows. We coordinate with security and access control — your tenants don't see us.

    3. 03
      Roof / mechanical-room work

      Coil cleaning under negative-air containment when needed. CO₂ monitoring in mechanical rooms per OSHA 1910.146.

    4. 04
      Parking-structure refresh

      Ceiling, column, and beam cleaning without added process water — zero risk to vehicles parked on lower levels.

    5. 05
      Engineering & CapEx documentation

      Per-asset record with photos, BTU/efficiency notes where measured, dropped into your engineer's PM log and your CapEx maintenance trail.

    Asset Detail

    Contaminants, surfaces, and why it matters

    RTU & AHU coils (chilled-water, DX)
    Dust, biofilm, fin compaction debris
    Recovers designed BTU capacity and reduces fan and compressor energy.
    Parking-structure ceilings & columns
    Soot, exhaust film, efflorescence
    Cosmetic refresh and Class A presentation without added process water on cars below.
    Loading dock & back-of-house equipment
    Grease, dust, food residue
    Pest-pressure reduction and tenant-area air-quality protection.
    Trash room & compactor exteriors
    Leachate, organic film
    Odor and pest control without harsh chemical exposure to building staff.
    Generator & switchgear room
    Dust, oil mist
    Reduces generator-test smoke events and switchgear arc-flash risk.
    Outcomes

    What our customers measure

    01
    Cleaned coils, which can help restore HVAC airflow and efficiency
    02
    Scheduling designed to avoid tenant-facing water or chemical odors
    03
    A documented maintenance record for your CapEx file
    Economics

    The numbers behind the program

    HVAC efficiency
    Manufacturer-published ranges of 10–25%
    General industry range for coils restored to design airflow after 5+ years of buildup — not a Summit-measured result; your engineer or commissioning agent should verify for your building.
    Energy chargebacks
    Potentially reduced
    Restored coil efficiency can lower utility chargebacks; actual impact depends on your metering and lease structure.
    Tenant disruption
    Scheduled after-hours
    No process water or chemical odor introduced to occupied space during the visit.
    Compliance & Standards

    How we fit your audit and safety program

    • Supports Energy Star Portfolio Manager and LEED O+M EBOM cleaning credits
    • ASHRAE-aligned coil cleaning documentation for engineering files
    • OSHA 1910.146 confined-space-trained for mechanical rooms
    • After-hours protocols compatible with BOMA building-operations standards
    • GL, umbrella, and property-owner/management-company AI language available on request
    Case Snapshot

    How a portfolio maintenance program is typically structured

    Location
    Applies to Class A office, retail, and mixed-use portfolios
    Scope
    Annual RTU/AHU coil cleaning plus periodic parking-structure surface cleaning, scheduled after-hours
    Result
    Efficiency and chargeback impact should be verified by your own engineering or commissioning team against your building's own baseline.

    Commercial Property Management — buyer voices

    What customers in this vertical tell us

    Site walk and written scope

    We walk the assets with you before quoting, then send a written scope so there is no ambiguity about what is and isn't included.

    Test patch before full scope

    We run a test patch on the actual substrate before committing to the full job, so you can see the result before we proceed.

    Your maintenance window

    We work inside your maintenance window, subject to site access and ventilation requirements — not the other way around.

    Photo and time log on completion

    Every job closes with a photo record and a time log, so you have documentation on file for your own records.
