Welcome to Comfort By Kodiak

solarWelcome to Comfort by Kodiak, your full-service building efficiency company, serving the central mountain region of Colorado. Our mission is to save you money through reduced energy consumption, while simultaneously making your indoor environment more comfortable, durable and healthy.

Building science is catching-up with the building industry, and the science has revealed a unique fact of home performance and building efficiency: when energy consumption is decreased through air-sealing, insulation, proper equipment sizing and maintenance, and the proper use of materials for your climate, a myriad of other benefits present, primarily increased comfort, but also increased durability of your building systems. You can save energy and money without having to wear your sweater indoors, and so long as your contractor understands building science as we do, tightening your home means less energy flowing through your shelter, therefore increased durability.

And with rising energy costs, saving energy through home performance and building efficiency saves you more money every year. So, protect your investment in a way that pays you back, more each year, and keeps you comfortable in your indoor environment.

But the science isn’t simple. What about indoor air quality in a tight building? How do you know the priority of improvements in a multi-step approach? Why wasn’t my new home built to the highest levels of energy performance? With over 25 years construction experience, and a strong focus on building science since 2006, Comfort by Kodiak has the answers to these questions and many others. Through energy auditing and computerized energy modeling, and utilizing an array of diagnostic equipment, we offer prioritized recommendations for home performance and building efficiency improvements.

Payment plans are available, and can be arranged to match your yearly savings on energy. You may be able to make improvements for net-zero additional cost. Why not be more comfortable and reduce your impact on the environment today?

We hope you’ll take some time to learn about our approach to building science by reviewing the information presented at this website. Thank you!

Rick W. HOA President Northstar Townhomes at Keystone

Regarding the (air-sealing and insulation retrofit) work performed by your company to our attics, it does appear there is a significant change in the comfort level in our unit. The temperature is more consistent and the comfort level is enhanced after the retrofit. The furnace does not run as much as in past winters....I have not crunched the numbers regarding utility bills, but it sure seems the cost has decreased.

(Regarding the exterior condition) as snow started accumulating on our roofs, I immediately noticed a change compared to pre-retrofit. As the depth of snow increased during the winter to an estimated 12" to 24", the roof held the snow well. During the winter far less degradation of snow occurred as in previous years. The snow has the constant appearance of fresh fallen snow, looking light and fluffy. I also noticed a drastic decrease in ice dams and icicles. We did have snow removal done a couple times to address deep snow areas. Our snow removal guy noticed a big improvement the first time he got on the roof. He was easily able to shovel off some deep snow areas without having to remove the amount of ice dams as in the past. There was far less dripping from horizontal drip edges above the areas of retrofit on to the lower roof surfaces that were not accessible to retrofit, i.e. porch roofs, etc., resulting in decreased ice dams on these drip edges. With winter coming to a close and rising temperatures, we are getting the rapid melt resulting in some icicle formation. I have easily removed most of these icicles from the ground using the association's roof rake tool.

In summation, I am pleased with the results and the professional work you and your employees did at Northstar.
