Building Retrofits

Small changes go a long way to improve your energy cost savings.

In the dynamic realm of energy transformation, RIFE International emerges as a beacon of innovation with its groundbreaking building retrofit solutions.

Whether your property is expansive or compact, our energy retrofits are meticulously crafted to cater to your unique energy requirements while aligning seamlessly with your budgetary constraints. Retrofits need not be expensive, simple building improvements to reduce energy use, reduce operational costs and minimize emissions can be achieved by simply improving existing systems and replacing outdated systems.Our holistic approach covers a spectrum of building operations, encompassing HVAC, plumbing, lighting, and the building envelope. RIFE International doesn’t just retrofit buildings; we usher in a new era of energy efficiency where every retrofit isn’t just an improvement but a strategic move towards sustainability.

Lighting Upgrades & Controls

Lighting systems convert only a minority fraction of their electrical input into useful light output. Much of the rest is released directly as heat into the space. For interior lighting, any upgrade of the lighting system that reduces input wattage reduces the amount of heat that must be removed by the air cooling system. This results in air cooling energy savings during the operation of the building. In new construction, an energy-efficient lighting design can result in significant savings in the installed cost of cooling systems.

RIFE also provides lighting controls for internal and external spaces. Some of these include occupancy or vacancy sensors; high-end trim; demand-controlled dimming; day lighting; addressable lighting; and advanced window shades.

Step into a brighter future where lighting isn’t just about visibility, it’s about efficiency, sustainability, and control. Choose RIFE International – where every upgrade and control isn’t just a feature; it’s a committment to redefine the way we light up our spaces.

HVAC Upgrades

Our HVAC offerings are engineered to provide thermal comfort, ensure high indoor air quality, and are meticulously designed to streamline building operations while meeting specific customer needs.
