Maximize Limited Resources

With small facilities teams, you need systems that work for you. Kohost automates routine tasks and provides proactive alerts so your staff can focus on what matters most.

Reduce Operating Costs

Cut energy costs by up to 35% through smart scheduling and automation. Redirect those savings toward your mission—whether that's scholarships, programs, or facilities improvements.

Enhanced Safety & Security

Parents trust you with their most precious gifts. Kohost's integrated access control, cameras, and emergency response systems help you honor that trust with comprehensive protection.

Multi-Building Management

Whether you manage a single campus or multiple parish facilities, Kohost provides centralized control so you can manage all locations from one platform.

Emergency Response

When every second counts, Kohost's SOS system puts emergency response at the push of a button. Instantly lock doors, alert first responders, and notify staff—giving your community the protection they deserve.

Common questions
answered.

Kohost supports custom scheduling rules for any religious observance. You can pre-program Shabbat, holiday, and special event schedules so HVAC, lighting, and access control adjust automatically—no manual intervention needed. Set it once for the year and Kohost handles the rest, including pre-conditioning spaces before services begin.

Absolutely. Kohost treats each zone independently, so your sanctuary can be at one temperature during services while classrooms are in setback mode. When the gym is rented out on Saturday night, only that zone activates—keeping energy costs low while maintaining comfort where it's needed.

Kohost is vendor-agnostic and integrates with HVAC, lighting, access control, cameras, and alarm systems from virtually any manufacturer. There's no need to rip and replace existing equipment—we connect to what you already have and unify everything into one platform. Most installations are completed within 2-4 weeks.

We can provide a detailed ROI analysis tailored to your facility showing projected energy savings, maintenance cost reductions, and security improvements. Based on customer results, faith-based institutions have seen full payback within 6-18 months. We also prepare board presentation materials and connect you with grant writing partners who specialize in faith-based institution funding.

Rabbi Motti Harlig — Desert Torah Academy

0:03Here at Desert Torah Academy, our safety and security has always been top priority. Throughout the years, I've noticed whether it be our doors, whether it be our cameras, there's always a whole bunch of different parts and pieces and we wanted to find something that can put it all together, a seamless transition of all things put together.

0:19I found out about Kohost and we are so excited to get this implemented in our school. Kohost takes whatever it may be. It can be your lights, it can be your cameras, it can be your access control, it can be your alarm. It puts it all with one click of a button. You push it all and it's all there ready and easily accessible.

0:39Being a Jewish school, security and safety is our number one priority. Now with Kohost, we are safer than ever with the amazing SOS portal. It's one click of a button. Everything is taken care of.

Rabbi Mendy Harlig — Desert Torah Academy

0:53Whenever we have a problem, we reach out to them. They can get it fixed. They can get it onboarded. I couldn't recommend them enough. If you're looking to make your life a little bit easier and focus more on the important things, reach out to Kohost. You won't regret it.

Rabbi Motti Harlig — Desert Torah Academy

1:05We are so excited to be working with Kohost and we can't wait to work with Kohost in the future. And I would advise and suggest to every Jewish school out there, contact Kohost. We'll have a safer, more efficient, and better school moving forward.
