    How can we help you?

    Air Conditioning & Ventilation

    In order to meet your budget and indoor air quality requirements, our experienced professionals have a proven record to engineer mechanical systems that will exceed your most stringent demands or to work with your consultants towards the same goal.

    We often help landlords retain tenants when faced with building-related complaints and turn these tenants into long term clients.

    Heating, Piping and Plumbing

    Kolostat’s piping team is proud to have designed and installed award winning piping systems which have saved their owners millions of dollars in energy consumption.

    Almost every commercial building in North America has excess heat which needs to be dissipated year-round. While most buildings simply reject heat directly into the atmosphere, we recognize that every season of the year gives us opportunities to put this excess heat to work. Whether by tempering fresh air, heating domestic hot water, or even melting snow, Kolostat’s engineers always look for alternative ways to use or store this heat before turning to more conventional methods. We have consistently shown building owners that an investment in their piping infrastructure can drastically reduce energy costs and increase system performance.

    We also strongly advocate efficient use of potable water. With today’s low water flow plumbing fixtures, we exercise special care to ensure all the plumbing fixtures work properly, despite this diminished water flow.

    Industrial Expertise

    Kolostat specializes in providing industrial solutions that encompass all aspects of the production and distribution of steam, hot water, and chilled water. Along with our ventilation, combustion, and controls disciplines, we look for energy-saving opportunities with a holistic approach which makes us an ideal turn-key design-build partner.

    In particular, we focus on providing turnkey installations including grants and rebates applications and follow up. Our engineers are familiar with all available grant programs including among other Eco Performance program (Transition Énergétique Québec), Énergir & Hydro-Quebec grant programs. These projects can provide energy efficiency measures with paybacks as quickly as 24 months. We work in close collaboration with our clients to define mutually agreed performance targets and deliver on these expectations with our inventive designs. With our in-house engineering expertise for energy simulation, system design, equipment selection, and grant applications, we are able to secure funding and guarantee successful project results.

    Kolostat has proven itself to be a leader in the HVAC design-build industry. Our trademark allows us to develop the design and build in order to go beyond and meet our clients’ needs and business objectives. Kolostat then builds, commissions, and maintains our installations to ensure long term energy savings while exceeding client expectations.

    We do it all with:

    • In-house engineering, drafting, installation teams
    • Guaranteed construction costs unless there is a change in scope
    • Fastest delivery – always on time
    • Measurement and verification where required to ensure targets are achieved

    Our clients tell us that doing a project design-build with Kolostat gives them the best value for their money.

    This method helps our industrial clients free up their operational and maintenance staff so they can keep their eyes on the production.

    Combustion

    We serve large commercial building owners as well as industrial clients to prevent costly breakdowns to their process combustion systems such as burners, dryers, boilers and heating facilities. We work with all kinds of combustion systems and fuel types, including high/low pressure steam, bunker, oil #2, thermal oil systems, micro-modulation systems and much more.

    In addition to maintaining equipment, we specialize in refurbishing burners, gas train equipment, burner management systems, retubing, refractory changes – you name it. When appropriate, we evaluate and recommend when it’s time for replacement.

    Many boiler plants are oversized, which causes inefficient burning as well as costly and damaging cycling of the heating systems. We design and install boiler plants that are the right-size for the application and operate them efficiently.

    Controls

    Kolostat acknowledges that many industrial plants have their own programmable logic controllers (PLC) and other building automation systems (BAS). Kolostat’s control installations operate on an Automated Logic Corporation (ALC) platform, one of the industry leaders in building systems control in North America. Where appropriate, Kolostat can integrate existing systems to our ALC platform.

    By combining the power of ALC with the ingenuity of Kolostat’s multidisciplinary professionals, we are able to find innovative ways of controlling equipment to optimize indoor environment conditions, reliability, and energy consumption. Either by mobile or desktop devices, ALC gives us the ability to display and modify the control logic live through its WebCTRL® web interface, allowing users and operators to easily understand precisely how their equipment is being controlled.

    From the smallest VAV box to the most complex campus-wide mechanical systems, WebCTRL® has the speed, power, and flexibility to keep systems running at peak efficiencies.

    Preventive Maintenance

    Since 1927, we have developed our operational techniques and our preventive maintenance know-how to the full benefit of our clients.

    Our Goals 

    • Extend your equipment’s life cycle,
    • Improve occupant comfort,
    • Reduce loss of productivity,
