Installation Considerations

Rooftop Mounting

Follow structural drawings for proper location of the Ice Bear unit. Provide leveling and securing in
compliance with local codes. Level the Ice Bear unit to within 1/8" in all directions. Consult a Structural
Engineer.

Although the Ice Bear unit weighs approximately 5,500 lb, Ice Energy has successfully placed the
equipment on all standard engineered flat roofs with no modifications to the structural frame. Similar to
any piece of equipment to be placed on the roof, a structural analysis by a licensed structural engineer is
required by the permitting agency having jurisdiction over an installation.

Figure 27 illustrates an Ice Bear unit mounted on a curb with cap. Contact Ice Energy for details.
