Impact Climate Technologies Launches ImpactIQ™

Impact Climate Technologies (ICT), a leading name in the commercial HVAC distribution sector, recently unveiled its latest innovation: ImpactIQ™, an AI-powered takeoff platform aimed at revolutionizing the HVAC estimating process. This proprietary technology highlights ICT's commitment to leveraging advanced intelligence to streamline operations and enhance client interactions.

The development of ImpactIQ™ is the result of a collaboration between ICT and Artefact, a global leader in data and AI solutions. With decades of proprietary project data at its disposal, ICT aims to automate one of the most tedious and time-consuming steps in project pricing: takeoff generation during initial project assessments. By doing so, ICT enables its teams to accelerate workflows while increasing their focus on solution design and client support.

John Moon, the CEO of ICT, emphasized the significance of this launch, stating, "ImpactIQ™ is not merely a technological upgrade; it embodies our vision for the future of the HVAC industry. As commercial HVAC projects grow in scale and complexity, the industry must evolve beyond outdated manual processes and fragmented systems. This investment in proprietary intelligence empowers our teams to work smarter and deliver greater value to our clients."

ImpactIQ™ serves as an internal tool to enhance estimating and pricing workflows, distinctly tailored to align with ICT’s operational standards and growth objectives. Unlike generic automation tools available on the market, ImpactIQ™ was specifically designed to meet ICT's unique needs, thus providing a solid foundation for developing further capabilities. With thousands of proprietary data points from years of completed projects, ICT is strategically positioned to utilize real-world data for training advanced AI models. This training results in enhanced accuracy and confidence for estimating teams.

Artefact's expertise in data science and AI reinforced the development of ImpactIQ™. Abdul Zamerli, Senior Partner at Artefact, noted, "Our collaboration with ICT was focused on creating a distinct solution that combines their unparalleled industry knowledge with cutting-edge AI capabilities. We transformed a manual bottleneck into a scalable, proprietary platform, generating immediate business value and an enduring competitive edge."

Among its core functionalities, ImpactIQ™ features advanced image recognition that allows for efficient detection and counting of HVAC symbols across intricate blueprint PDFs. The platform also offers 'chat with blueprint' capabilities, enabling automated segmentation of specifications and real-time queries regarding technical details from drawings, making the process far more user-friendly.

Integration of ImpactIQ™ into ICT's existing business structures promises augmented efficiency, allowing real-time responses to client needs and requests. As ICT prepares for the future, the platform is seen not as a finished product but as a continually evolving tool. Future enhancements are anticipated to introduce deeper operational insights and further integrate data-driven decision-making processes throughout the company.

The impact of ImpactIQ™ on the HVAC landscape cannot be overstated. As ICT solidifies its position as a market leader, it sets a new benchmark for what is possible in commercial HVAC estimating. With its unwavering focus on innovation, efficiency, and client service, ICT is defining the future path for the HVAC industry.
