INSIGHTS
Case studies, decarbonization analysis, grant program updates, and engineering deep-dives from our team — Kolostat and its Energy division, across Quebec and Ontario.
Industry news · Apr 15, 2026
We recognize the rigorous work by DÉCARBONE+ on its White Paper on Sustainable Real Estate — a structuring contribution in a context where energy and climate transition are reshaping the real estate sector. Kolostat is proud to support this collective effort as a partner.
Includes videoCase studies · Apr 7, 2026
In the heart of Old Montreal, our teams craned and installed two rooftop dry coolers for Cinesite's server-room cooling — with coordinated street closures, work at height on an existing building, and integrated acoustic walls to meet heritage-area noise requirements.

Daniel Robert reviews how Legionella pneumophila proliferates in cooling towers and hot-water systems, the ASHRAE and RBQ frameworks that govern water management, and the operational practices building managers must implement to protect occupants.

Kolostat partnered with Montoni and Martin Roy & Associés to design and build the 100,000 sq ft Épicentre culturel de Laval, integrating a 5th generation energy loop with geothermal, aerothermal and heat recovery to target a 98% GHG reduction and a 50% drop in energy consumption.
Case studies · Mar 24, 2026
Ricardo Haddad and Daniel Robert presented Kolostat's approach to recovering waste heat in indoor greenhouses and farms at Concordia University's ASHRAE student chapter, showing how heat recovery delivers both environmental and financial performance.
Case studies · Jan 19, 2026
KROME and Kolostat cut natural-gas-related GHG emissions by 80% (≈ 550 tCO₂eq) on a downtown-Montreal commercial tower — at full occupancy, without disrupting server-room cooling. A case study with GROUPE MACH.
Engineering · Nov 20, 2025
Daniel Robert examines the regulatory and safety hurdles slowing North American adoption of ultra-low-GWP refrigerants like hydrocarbons and HFOs, and why ASHRAE 15-2024 and CSA B-52 must evolve to allow their safe use in commercial HVAC.
Decarbonization · Oct 22, 2025
Daniel Robert explores how energy loops — district thermal networks that pool heating and cooling across neighbourhoods — can decarbonize Quebec's cities and industrial zones at lower cost, with concrete examples from Montreal, Gatineau, Sherbrooke and Toronto.
