The 36,024 m2 Blue Planet building near Newcastle-under-Lyme uses a range of renewable technologies and has become the first ever
building to achieve a BREEAM “Outstanding” rating.
Kingspan products feature across the building envelope and have
helped to fulfil a number of important design and performance
demands. A building envelope air tightness rate of 1.8m³/hr/m² was achieved.
The building is carbon positive and saves a projected £300,000 in running costs, with a potential major factor here the installation of the innovative Kingspan EnergiPanel system, which combines the benefits of conventional PIR composite wall cladding with solar air heating technology.
Panels used included: KS1000 RW, KS1000 MR, Kingspan Wall-lites and KS1000 CR.
