01 / General planning
One project. One integrated planning responsibility.
ICERINKS provides general planning for ice sports facilities and coordinates all relevant disciplines within one integrated project structure. Architecture, structural design, ice technology, building services, energy systems, controls, infrastructure and operational requirements are developed as one coordinated system.
Architecture. Ice technology. Building services. Energy. Controls. One integrated planning responsibility.
Competence hierarchy
Overall planning, interface management and coordination of all specialist disciplines.
Ice technology, refrigeration, heat recovery, storage, photovoltaics and sector coupling.
Continuous coordination of all systems for stable and energy-efficient operation.
We steer the interfaces, bring the specialist disciplines together and secure one coordinated overall system.
The objective is a technically coherent, buildable and operationally efficient ice sports facility — from the first concept through planning, implementation and commissioning.
General planning brings all specialist disciplines together. Ice, energy and control competence is the technical depth ICERINKS adds to it.
04 / Services
Competence fields
The ice sports facility as a building: spatial quality, facade, materiality, light and spectator experience.
Refrigeration, ice slab build-up and ice quality engineered from the physics upwards.
Energy engineering as a dedicated discipline — generation, recovery, storage and grid interface.
Cooling, heat, power, storage, building and grid are planned as one connected system.
All trades planned in one model, one schedule and one responsibility.
03 / Modular system
Every ice sports facility places different demands on location, use, capacity and energy supply. Our modular system combines proven technical components into an individually matched overall solution.
Building, ice surface, refrigeration and heat technology, energy supply, storage, photovoltaics and controls are combined and coordinated on a project-specific basis. The result: scalable ice sports facilities that adapt functionally, technically and economically to the specific requirement.
From the training hall to the multifunctional ice sports hall.
System modules
Envelope, structure, functional layout and building physics of the hall.
Slab construction, ice quality, distribution and surface performance.
Refrigeration plant, heat recovery and heat distribution as one loop.
Electrical supply, thermal and electrical storage, load management.
On-site generation and efficiency technology integrated into the energy concept.
Coordinated control of all systems for a stable, efficient operating state.
The modular structure enables
What matters is not the individual technology, but the optimal interaction of all components.
05 / ICERINKS Clean · Integrated Control · Sector coupling
An ice sports facility should not be designed as an isolated energy consumer. We integrate refrigeration, heat recovery, heat pumps, photovoltaics, storage and grid interaction into one coordinated energy system.
Every ice sports facility requires a project-specific energy and engineering concept. We therefore present the principles — not standardised solutions.
Parallel, coupled energy flows — not a linear chain

Integrated Control
The objective: maintain the optimal operating condition at all times with the lowest possible energy input.
Sector coupling
Energy hub is a design objective, not an automatic property: how far a facility feeds heat or flexibility back into its surroundings is defined project by project and verified technically.
Five technical layers
Monitoring from day one — operation is verified, not assumed.
Positioning
Architecture + Ice technology + Energy engineering + Sector coupling + Integrated engineering
One partner. One system. An architecturally high-quality ice sports facility as an intelligent energy hub.
High-performance architecture meets intelligent energy engineering.
06 / Reference projects
Location, task, role and selected parameters — that is what makes engineering competence verifiable. Confidential project data remains confidential.
Case studies
Realised project — developed and planned by our team
Status: realised and in operation
Leithana Ice Arena — Bruck an der Leitha, Lower Austria, Austria. Developed and planned by our team. Realised and in operation — our most important realised reference.
ICERINKS scope
Development, planning, ice and refrigeration technology, energy engineering.
Plant technology, heat recovery and operation were coordinated as one system and verified in operation.
Next Generation Ice Sports Facility / concept and engineering
Status: concept and engineering — not yet realised
Two ice surfaces, architecture, sports medicine, energy integration and lifecycle thinking in one concept — our lighthouse concept for the next generation of ice sports facilities.
ICERINKS scope
Energy and overall concept, ice technology, integrated engineering.
Building, ice and energy system were developed as one design task — not as separate trades.

Planning insights
Selected examples offer an insight into the breadth of our planning work — from site development and floor plans to sections, elevations, technical details and architectural studies. They demonstrate how spatial, technical and operational requirements are brought together in one coordinated overall plan.
The illustrations are selected excerpts. Project-specific details and technical information remain confidential and are available on request.
07 / Technology & delivery partners · ICERINKS LAB
ICERINKS integrates the systems and coordinates the overall planning. Specialised partners contribute proven technology within a clearly defined competence structure.
Technology partner
H&H Technology CZ
Technology partner — ice and refrigeration technology.
AS Project s.r.o.
Project partner.
Competence groups
Partner names and logos are published only once released. Integration and overall planning responsibility remain with ICERINKS.
ICERINKS LAB
ICERINKS LAB is our research and development platform — an open working structure for pilot projects, demonstrators and applied development around ice technology and energy systems.
08 / Financing
Grid2Ice — One Partner. One Responsibility. From Vision to Operation.
Grid2Ice can accompany municipalities as a single point of contact — from the initial project idea through to the ongoing operation of the facility. The concrete scope is defined individually per project.
Where a municipality or city provides a guarantee, letter of support or comparable security, financing for the overall project can be structured and organised together with financing partners. Depending on the project this can reduce initial public investment and speed up implementation. This is a possible structuring model, not a financing commitment.
Non-binding information. Roles, contracting parties, financing partners, approvals and legal prerequisites are assessed individually for each project. No financing commitment, no banking or investment advice.
