1000 Aztec West
Kingspan Insulation
1000 Aztec West stands as a testament to what is possible with a well-considered retrofit. Working with Commercial Estates Group (Development Manager), the project team has transformed the previously tired office building into a truly modern headquarter building that achieves net zero operational carbon whilst also retaining the original structural frame to limit its embodied carbon impact. The office building was originally constructed in the 1980s and, whilst structurally sound, it did not meet modern office requirements and had limited re-use flexibility as internal floor configurations were designed specifically for a microelectronics company that previously occupied the building. Commercial Estates Group took the bold step to fully refurbish the building, upgrading it to net zero operational carbon, adding an additional floor and completely reconfiguring internal spaces and the external façade. Working with a team of consultants, the architects developed a revised design, replacing the original façade to achieve a dramatic contemporary appearance externally, whilst providing modern office suites internally, along with a range of facilities such as café, gym, break out area and additional amenity space. By retaining the existing structure, it was estimated that the project has saved some 1.7 million kg of embodied carbon. In order to reach net zero operational carbon, a range of low carbon technologies have been installed, including air source heat pumps and a PV array, and the architects looked to “reduce energy demand through fabric enhancement”.

Greater Manchester Major Trauma Hospital
Kingspan Insulation
The new Greater Manchester Major Trauma Hospital at Salford Royal Hospital, part of the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust, is set to provide much needed additional capacity to care for and treat major trauma patients. BAM were appointed to lead the construction of the new facility as part of the Government’s New Hospital Programme. The project required completion of a building within both the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and the tight programme timescales due to the urgent need for extra capacity.With the hospital committed to achieve an 80% reduction in the carbon emissions they directly control by 2028 – 2032, it was also essential that the facility was well insulated to reduce the demand on its heating systems. To deliver this, whilst meeting the project requirements for a European Classification (Euroclass) A1 or A2 rated façade insulation, K-Roc Rainscreen Slab was fitted as part of the building’s rainscreen façade.

To ensure these new homes both are energy efficient and warm, the project team sought to surpass the Building Regulations. This led to the specification of Kingspan Kooltherm K106 Cavity Board, which boasts a thermal conductivity of just 0.18 W/m.K across all available board thicknesses.
In addition to its outstanding thermal performance, Kingspan Kooltherm K106 Cavity Board also features a water–tight, vapour–open polypropylene fleece outer facing which protects against moisture penetration. As a result, it can be installed with a void of just 10 mm, limiting the thickness of the external walls.

The main entrance is defined by a simple yet striking cantilevered upper floor, providing a sheltered space in front of the building. To insulate this, Kingspan Kooltherm K110 Soffit Board was used. The boards were fixed directly to the soffits using thermally broken fasteners, making installation quick and simple.

Orchard Fields
Kingspan Insulation
Orchard Fields is the latest development from the award-winning Stonewood Homes. The 88-house estate near Cirencester includes 26 affordable properties and has been constructed to meet the AECB Building Standard (now superseded by the AECB CarbonLite™ Standard) – requiring them to have very low energy demand and highly insulated building envelopes. To achieve the demanding U-values with a slim construction on the flat roofed areas of some properties, the OPTIM-R Roofing System was installed with Thermaroof TR27. Orchard Fields has been built with a sense of community at its heart. The “landscape led” layout incorporates four different courtyards planted with fruit trees. Stonewood Design developed a range of different property archetypes, ranging from 1 to 5 bedrooms, each taking their name from different varieties of the fruits in the orchards. All homes have been built to the AECB Building Standard which requires that the properties have an energy and cooling demand of less than 40 kWh/(m2a) – around a third of that of new homes built under the Building Regulations at the time of construction. To deliver this, the homes needed to be highly airtight, with mechanical ventilation heat recovery (MVHR) systems fitted to retain heat whilst providing a supply of fresh air. All elements also needed to be insulated to a high standard, with a typical average weighted U-value of just 0.10 W/m2K for each of the walls, floors and roofs.

Royal Pavilion
Kingspan Insulation
Since its inception in the late eighties, the urban extension of Poundbury has captured the public imagination. Built on Duchy of Cornwall land, the entire town has been developed in accordance with the architectural and urban planning principals contained within HRH The Prince of Wales’ book ‘A Vision of Britain’. Affordable housing makes up one third of the properties within the walkable community and the overall population is expected to rise to 5,000 by 2025.The Queen Mother Square forms the civic centre for the town and, in reflection of this, the buildings directly surrounding it have been designed in a grand style. The Royal Pavilion sits to the north of the Queen Mother Square. Its ornate design references Greek Revival architecture and includes an iconic lantern, which forms the focal point for Leon Krier’s original masterplan. Its construction has been overseen by C G Fry and Son Ltd. in partnership with the Duchy of Cornwall.
