Since 1931 Colt has been harnessing the natural elements to provide healthy, comfortable and safe working conditions in commercial and industrial buildings around the world, with a presence in more than 50 countries. Colt’s climate control, ventilation and solar shading systems can be integrated into the design of the building to create an ideal internal climate, resulting in higher employee productivity and better health. If a fire breaks out, Colt’s smoke control systems facilitate smoke-free escape routes for safe evacuation, enable firefighters to pinpoint the source of the fire, and protect the contents of the building. Globally, the built environment accounts for 40-50% of energy use and around a third of CO2 emissions. The industry is addressing the issue of such a massive impact on the environment by adopting green building strategies. Colt’s integrated approach means that our systems work together to reduce a building’s cooling requirements and harness the cooling properties of air and water to make commercial and industrial buildings more energy efficient and reduce their carbon footprint.
