Services

From design to deployment — and beyond

Whether you need a new installation, an upgrade, or help operating what you already have, we deliver systems built for long-term reliability.

01 · Build

Installation & Integration

Professional installation of new building automation controls — from control design and panel fabrication to field devices, programming and commissioning.

  • HVAC, lighting and metering integration
  • Open-protocol design (BACnet, Modbus)
  • Graphics, dashboards and operator training
02 · Modernize

Upgrades & Retrofits

Modernize legacy infrastructure without shutting your building down. We migrate obsolete controllers to current platforms in planned, phased cutovers.

  • Legacy-to-Niagara 4 and Siemens migrations
  • Reuse of existing wiring and field devices
  • Minimal-downtime cutover planning
03 · Optimize

Energy Efficiency & Optimization

Advanced optimization built on the latest industry standards — including proven strategies like ASHRAE Guideline 36 — or your own ideas, turned into working sequences.

  • ASHRAE Guideline 36 control sequences
  • Scheduling, setpoint and trend analysis
  • Measurable reductions in energy use
04 · Support

Monitoring & Maintenance

Ongoing operational support to keep your systems running as intended — with a team that answers when something goes wrong.

  • 24/7 emergency support
  • Preventive maintenance plans
  • Remote monitoring, alarm management and tune-ups

PLATFORM EXPERTISE

Industries

Built for the buildings that can't afford downtime

No matter the size or complexity, we tailor every system to how your building actually operates.

Commercial offices

Comfort, energy performance and tenant satisfaction — with dashboards that give property managers real visibility into how the building is running.

Institutional

Schools, hospitals and government facilities where reliability and occupant wellbeing come first — and where budgets demand systems that last.

Industrial & manufacturing

Plants and facilities where building systems meet process systems. Ignition expertise lets us bridge both worlds on one platform.

How we work

A straightforward path from problem to running system

Assess

We walk your site, review existing controls and drawings, and understand your goals before recommending anything.

Design

You get a clear scope: platform, sequences, points list, schedule and cost — engineered around your building, not a template.

Deploy

Installation, programming and commissioning executed with minimal disruption to occupants and operations.

Support

Training, documentation, preventive maintenance and 24/7 emergency support — for the life of the system.

Why Kontrols

Expert service. Long-term reliability.

Certified, hands-on expertise

Niagara 4 and Ignition Core certifications, plus deep Siemens field experience — the people quoting your project are the people building it.

Open systems, no lock-in

We design on open platforms and standard protocols, so your building stays serviceable and competitive for decades.

Tailored to every project

No matter the size or complexity, we build customized systems around how your facility actually runs.

There when it matters

24/7 emergency support and ongoing monitoring mean small issues get caught before they become expensive ones.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a building automation system (BAS)?

A building automation system is the network of controllers, sensors and software that runs a building's HVAC, lighting and other equipment automatically. A well-designed BAS keeps occupants comfortable, cuts energy waste, and alerts operators to problems before they become failures.

Which building automation platforms do you work with?

We specialize in Siemens building technologies, Ignition by Inductive Automation, and the Tridium Niagara Framework (Niagara 4). Our team holds the Niagara 4 Technical Certification and Ignition Core Certification, with extensive hands-on Siemens experience. Because these platforms are open, we integrate equipment from many manufacturers over BACnet, Modbus and other standard protocols.

Can you upgrade or replace an obsolete building automation system?

Yes — modernizing legacy BAS infrastructure is one of our core services. We plan phased migrations to current platforms such as Niagara 4 so your building stays operational during the cutover, and we reuse existing wiring and field devices wherever it makes sense to control cost.

What is ASHRAE Guideline 36 and why does it matter?

ASHRAE Guideline 36 is a set of standardized, high-performance control sequences for HVAC systems. Implementing it typically improves comfort and reduces energy use without replacing mechanical equipment. We program Guideline 36 sequences on Siemens, Ignition and Niagara systems — or implement your own optimization strategies.

What areas do you serve?

We're focused on the Greater Toronto Area and take on projects across Ontario.

Do you offer emergency support?

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency support along with preventive maintenance plans, remote monitoring and operator assistance.

How much does a building automation project cost?

Every building is different, so we scope each project individually — by system size, the condition of existing controls, and your goals. Contact us to arrange an assessment and a detailed proposal.
