Low Energy Building

With European Union targets committed to cutting carbon emissions by 20% by 2020 and 60% by2050, the impetus is there for the industry to produce low energy houses and buildings. This isbacked up by Building Regulations and standards, such as Passivhaus, the Code for SustainableHomes and BREEAM.

The next few years is likely to see demand for premium and high performance insulants grow asenergy standards get tighter. This, coupled with higher fuel prices and consumer demand for low-energy buildings, will see this sector grow to become the norm.

Kingspan Insulation is at the forefront of the low energy building drive, helping architectsand developers get the most energy efficient building envelope performance whilst taking upminimal space.

Existing buildings offer the greatest opportunity to reduce carbon emissions from the stock.Whilst new buildings account for just 1 to 2% of the housing stock per annum, more than 70% ofbuildings standing today will still exist in 2050.

Programmes and initiatives to upgrade existing stock are in evidence in European markets for bothdomestic and non-domestic sectors.

Kingspan Insulation offers products and solutions for all types of refurbishment. The solutionsoffered for refurbishment will depend upon the individual circumstances of the project, such asroom size; whether the building is in a conservation area; the desired thermal and air tightnessperformance; and the structural integrity of the refurbishment.

Kingspan Range

IntroductionKingspan Thermataper® Systems have beendeveloped to solve problems associated withrainwater ponding on flat roofs. KingspanThermataper® Systems comprise taperedinsulation boards, flat packer boards, pre-mitred hip and valley boards and the market'sleading tapered roofing design service.Kingspan Thermataper® products aredesigned: for use under most waterproofingmembranes; to provide required roof falls; andto provide insulation to meet the requirementsof Building Regulations / Standards.

BenefitsSimplerOn new roofs, the use of KingspanThermataper® Systems eliminates the needto incorporate a fall into the design ofthe roof deck. On existing roofs, a KingspanThermataper® Systems and a newwaterproofing membrane can be laid on topof the original waterproofing. This eliminatesthe need for stripping down the roof to decklevel, and the provision of a vapour check maynot be required.

CheaperUsing Kingspan Thermataper® Systems toachieve a U-value of 0.16 W/m2.K could be upto or over 26% cheaper than using alternativemethods (e.g. timber firrings or screed) tocreate a fall in a flat roof for rainwater drainagepurposes.

QuickerKingspan Thermataper® Systems avoid a wettrade and do not need time to dry out savingtime in the scheduling of a constructionproject. It has been estimated that screed tofalls systems may require up to 195 days ormore to dry.

LighterKingspan Thermataper® Systems are also alighter weight alternative to screeding and theydo not present the risk of an overloadedstructure due to excessive screed depths.Kingspan Thermataper® Systems can be aslittle as 1.5% or less of the weight of a solutionusing screed to falls with a flat insulation board.

Less WastePre-mitred boards reduce waste from theinstallation process. Insulation boards are cutin half by Kingspan Insulation in its factory tomake mitred hip and valley boards. These aresingle picked to match the tapered systemdesign so as to reduce waste from cutting hipsand valleys on site. Both (hip and valley) halvesof the cut board are used and the only wasteis the dust generated by sawing. Whereaswhen boards are cut on site, up to 50% of thecut boards could be wasted, depending onthe particulars of the specific board layout andfalls design.

match the markings on the boards to createan easy to install system that is delivered directto site. Installation of Kingspan Thermataper®

Systems is simple using these easy to followdrawings and, to facilitate installation, eachboard type is packed separately in labelledshrink wrapped packs.

Condensation Risk AnalysisIncluded in the design service is the calculationof condensation risk in accordance withBS 5250: 2002 (Code of practice for control ofcondensation in buildings). This ensures thatany predicted dew–point is above the vapourcontrol layer at the point in the KingspanThermataper® Systems with the thinnestinsulation layer, whilst also ensuring anycondensation risk is within the limits given inBS 5250: 2002.

Calculation of U-valuesU-values for Kingspan Thermataper® Systemsare calculated in accordance with Annex C ofBS EN ISO 6946: 1997 (Building Componentsand Building Elements). Annex C outlines thecalculation procedure to determine the totalthermal transmittance of tapered insulation -termed the 'Annex C U-value'.

Efficiency by DesignKingspan Thermataper® Systems come withfirst class design services. This ensures thatthe most cost–effective solution for a roof isidentified and that the end result is a taperedsystem design which meets the roof’srainwater run–off and insulation requirements.

Board Layout & Falls DesignThe board layout and falls of even the mostcomplex tapered system can be designedquickly and effectively, ready for clientapproval. The design will illustrate the requireddirection of drainage and will also take intoaccount U–value, condensation risk and winduplift requirements, as well as minimum /maximum rise restrictions. Client amendmentsor revisions can be easily incorporated.This board layout and falls design serviceoperates under a quality control systemcertified to BS EN ISO 9001: 2000 (Qualitymanagement systems. Requirements).

Once the final design has been accepted bythe client and the Kingspan Thermataper®

Systems is ordered, a working drawing will beproduced on waterproof paper. This drawingwill clearly set out the fall pitch, fall directionand fixing of each board type and will clearly

System Overview

IntroductionThe Kingspan KoolDuct® System is anadvanced and innovative pre-insulatedrectangular HVAC ductwork system. Thiscutting edge System offers the triple benefitsof cutting energy use, cutting operational CO2emissions and cutting costs.

Benefits� Kingspan KoolDuct® System is the onlypremium performance pre–insulatedductwork in the world to be UL Listed as aClass 1 Air Duct, to Standard for Safety UL181, when fabricated to a specificationclearly defined by UL;

� Ductwork can weigh up to 75% less thanductwork constructed from galvanisedsheet steel and insulated with mineral fibre– this makes it ideal for refurbishmentprojects, where existing building structureshave insufficient load capacities for newservice loads.

� Faster installation speeds as a result of lowweight ductwork fabricated in sections upto 3.93 m /13 ft long, single–fix installationand no need to install insulation as asecond operation.

� It typically saves up to 150–200 mm / 6-8”in a single dimension, allowing ductwork tobe installed flush to ceilings, walls andfloors, as well as to surfaces withinconfined enclosures.

� Reduced labour and materials can providean ideal value engineered ductwork solutionwithout compromising performance.

� Low ductwork air-leakage can yieldsignificant electrical consumption and CO2emissions savings because of reducedheating and cooling loads and fan energyusage.

� Low embodied environmental impact – upto 65% less than that of rock mineral fibreinsulated galvanised sheet steel ductwork.

� Kingspan KoolDuct® panels have an A BREGreen Guide Rating.
