By sector

The communications sector, including data centres, call centres and web farms, encompasses a vast array of building products and systems, from structural framing, external fabric and façades, to specialised internal floor fit-out solutions.

Kingspan's wide range of innovative, high performance products and systems provides optimised, energy-saving, low carbon (CO₂), future-proofed buildings. The range includes insulated roof & wall systems, rainscreen façades, insulation, composite floordecks, renewable energy systems and water conservation products.

Additionally, Kingspan offer their world-leading raised access floor systems, used globally for the provision of both underfloor wire & cable management and underfloor air conditioning.

All Kingspan systems are factory manufactured to provide superior build quality with rapid and safer on-site assembly, thereby allowing earlier project handover and income stream.

Key requirements

Extensive product ranges provide:

• superior lifetime thermal and air-tightness systems that deliver energy saving, low carbon, environment-protecting buildings
• robust methods of construction - 60 year overall life
• - Loss Prevention Council Board (LPCB) and Factory Mutual (FM) Insurer approved fire engineered systems
• Off-Site manufacturing methods facilitate rapid, safer, high quality on-site assembly allowing earlier project completion and income stream
• low and zero carbon technology integration
• market leading Insulated Panels and Facades steel support systems
• Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and water conservation products

Environmentally sustainable buildings

Cradle to cradle - Kingspan systems significantly contribute to achieving green points and credits for environmentally sustainable buildings, from design through to deconstruction (end of life).

The Kingspan portfolio of systems is compliant with the highest rating classifications published by the world-leading Building Research Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) and the World Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™.

1. Embodied energy is the quantity of energy required to manufacture, and supply to the point of use, a product, material or service.

2. Operational energy refers to all energy required to run a building, i.e., energy use for fixed building services including heating, hot water, lighting, pumps and fans and all other appliances.

3. Deconstruction is the selective dismantlement of building components, specifically for re-use, recycling, and waste management.

Delivering low energy, low carbon buildings today

The focus of today's governments, property owners, designers and constructors is to build environmentally sustainable buildings. Improving the thermal performance of the Insulated Panels and Facades is the easiest, most immediate and cost-effective way to reduce running energy costs and carbon emissions. Kingspan have the capability to deliver Insulated Panels and Facades, including building integrated renewable power and heat technologies that exceed existing and meet future 'zero-carbon' legislative requirements, across global markets.

The chart below shows indicative future energy and carbon emission targets over and above current building codes, to zero-carbon.
