Allumia structures zero-upfront capital energy upgrades for ice rinks.

Upgrades that reduce energy use and operating costs — paid from measured energy savings over time.

Allumia funds the project, verifies the savings, and maintains the upgraded system during the program term.

Why Upgrades Stall

Most rinks operate with aging refrigeration equipment that must run reliably every day. Operators work hard to keep these systems dependable while balancing tight budgets and full ice schedules.

Efficiency upgrades often make sense — but projects can stall because:

  • capital budgets are limited
  • projects compete with other priorities
  • moving a project from proposal to installation takes time and coordination

Meanwhile mechanical systems continue aging.

Many operators are balancing the need for upgrades with the reality of keeping the rink running through the season.

The Allumia Model

Allumia helps move rink upgrades forward by combining three elements.

Capital
Projects move forward without upfront capital from the rink. The project is structured so upgrades are paid for through measured savings.
Performance
Savings are measured and verified, and the project is structured so upgrades are paid for through those savings.
Operations
Allumia manages the entire program — contractor coordination, system performance, and maintenance — so the rink can focus on the ice.
When the system performs efficiently, the rink saves energy and the program succeeds. Rink operators can focus on running the rink instead of managing mechanical systems.

Upgrades are paid from measured energy savings — not your capital budget. When the program ends, the rink keeps the equipment and the full savings.
