Kingspan’s high-performance insulated panel and PV products have helped to create a new, energy-efficient Lidl store in the community of Nenagh in Ireland, meeting over a quarter of its energy requirements and saving almost 40 tonnes of carbon every year.
Built to replace the area’s existing Lidl store opened 17 years ago, the new supermarket has been designed to provide customers with the best shopping experience possible with a modern, glass-fronted aesthetic and spacious internal layout. To reduce the facility’s energy demand and carbon emissions, 555 Kingspan Rooftop Solar PV panels, with a forecast generation of approximately 120,000 kWhr, have been installed on the development. The panels produce zero CO2 emissions and can generate energy even in low light, overcast conditions.
