5 The Education Sector Introduction The number of school age children has increased, resulting in a rise in demand for educational buildings. However changing Building Regulations, government initiatives and funding cuts pose many challenges to the education sector including: l cost and speed of construction; l energy efficiency and sustainable design; l waste reduction; l implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM); l acoustic performance; and l air tightness. Rain Impact Noise Independent testing by the Sound Research Laboratory concluded that Kingspan Insulation provides sufficient acoustic performance when used as part of a roof build up. Rain impact noise can be mitigated by using simple roof build ups without the need for a greater depth of insulation which poorer performing insulants call for. The study also concluded that a lightweight roof construction (profiled metal deck) with Kingspan Insulation roofing products provides acoustic performance in accordance with International Standard ISO :2006. For further details please see the Kingspan Insulation Rain Impact Noise Technical Bulletin (1st Issue, August 2011), available on the Kingspan Insulation Website or on request. Kingspan Insulation has a wide range of experience and knowledge in providing high performance building fabric and building service solutions to the education sector. Kingspan Insulation s range of solutions have been developed to meet the various regulatory requirements associated with thermal, fire and acoustic performances. Kingspan Insulation's range of rigid insulation products is among the widest available in the UK market. These are supported by a market leading team of technical advisors who are both office and field based and on hand to advise on the best practical solutions. 5

Waste Collection Service Buildings in the education sector are under increasing pressure with regard to sustainability, therefore, keeping waste to a minimum is key. Kingspan Insulation provides a Waste Collection Service which minimises site waste by ensuring that Best Practice Environmental Option (BPEO) is applied to all waste streams and no eligible waste is sent to landfill. 6

7 U Value Calculator Kingspan Insulation offers a completely free U value calculator which is available on the Kingspan Insulation website and through a mobile app. The U value calculator allows customers to find out which product thickness would be most suitable to achieve specific BBA approved U values in a range of applications for roofs, walls and floors. Kingspan Tapered Roofing Design Services Kingspan Thermataper LPC/FM Systems come with a supporting design service. This ensures that the most cost effective solution for a roof is identified and that the end result is a tapered system design which meets the roof s rainwater run off and insulation requirements. The designs of the board layout and falls of a successful Kingspan Thermataper LPC/FM System from Kingspan Insulation will take several factors into account, including positioning of the roof outlets, extent of water run off required, roof dimensions, presence of existing falls or steps, and location and dimensions of permanent projections. Free surveys of existing roofs are carried out by experienced Kingspan surveyors. Kingspan Insulation then design the board layout quickly and effectively ready for client approval, which will incorporate all requirements and considerations. Building Information Modelling (BIM) Government requires the use of fully collaborative three dimensional BIM by 2016 on all government funded projects greater than 5 million in value. Many projects in the education sector will exceed this value and thus BIM compatibility of insulation products is essential. In November 2012 Kingspan Insulation became the first manufacturer to launch BIM objects via the NBS National BIM Library. Having manufacturers BIM objects allows not only more accurate specification, costs and quantities, but also better facilities management information for the life of the building. Kingspan Insulation s BIM projects are free of charge to download from the NBS National BIM Library and are available in the following five major formats: l Bentley AECOsim; l GraphisoftArchiCAD; l Nemetschek Vectorworks; l Revit Architecture; and l Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Included in the design service is the calculation of condensation risk in accordance with BS 5250: 2011 (Code of practice for control of condensation in buildings). This ensures that any predicted dew point is above the vapour control layer at the point of minimum thickness of the Kingspan Thermataper LPC/FM System, whilst also ensuring any condensation risk is within the limits given in BS 5250:

10 Tapered Roof Insulation Systems Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, the National Conservatoire of Wales, includes actors, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Rob Brydon, among its celebrated alumni and fellows. Its new 22.5 million, BREEAM Excellent, performance complex, designed by BFLS Architects, includes: the 450 seat Dora Stoutzker concert venue; the Richard Burton Theatre; four state of the art rehearsal studios; and a terraced cafe bar overlooking the Grade I listed Bute Park. Each performance space is a separate building, but the whole development is linked by a single floating roof that ties the existing Bute Theatre to the new drama, concert and public arcade spaces. The arcade area serves as an exhibition hall and is the lungs for the scheme it facilitates natural ventilation by using the stack effect. Paul Bavister, Associate Director at BFLS and project architect for the development, explained why some 2,500 m 2 of Kingspan Thermataper TT46 LPC/FM was necessary to the design. He said: We had considered a green roof but as sedum is non indigenous to Wales that idea would have interfered with our aims for BREEAM Excellent. Instead we designed a traditional warm deck roof build up; and we used the Kingspan Thermataper TT46 LPC/FM product to achieve a 0.15 W/m 2. K U value whilst keeping the roof build up as low as possible. Due to the challenge of the unique geometry of the roof, Kingspan produced coordinated layout drawings, which were a great help to us. The boards were fixed to metal decking and were very fast to install; and the tapered insulation also created the required falls to the drainage outlets. We were pleased with the insulation and with the overall service we got from Kingspan. Kingspan Thermataper TT46 LPC/FM is specifically designed for use beneath mechanically fixed single ply flat roofing membranes and is FM approved for Class 1 steel deck roof assemblies. Had the BFLS design team been able to go ahead with a sedum roof, Kingspan Thermataper TT46 LPC/FM could still have been the choice, as it is also suitable for most green roofing schemes. Kingspan Thermataper LPC/FM Systems Developed to solve problems associated with rainwater ponding on flat roofs, Kingspan Thermataper Systems comprise insulation boards, flat packer boards, pre mitred hip and valley boards, and the market s leading tapered roofing design service. l High performance rigid thermoset insulation thermal conductivities as low as W/m. K. l LPCB approved to LPS 1181: Part 1. l FM approved for Class 1 steel deck roof assemblies. l Insulation and drainage in one. l Fibre free core. l Compatible with most waterproofing and green roof systems. l Non deleterious material. l Manufactured with a blowing agent that has zero ODP and low GWP. l Tapered insulation U values calculated according to Annex C of BS EN ISO 6946:

12 Tapered Roof Insulation Systems Rodillian School As the first building in the Leeds Local Education Partnership (LEP) Schools for the Future programme, the 28m Rodillian High School provides a full range of modern facilities for over 1,200 pupils. A 5,000 m 2 Kingspan Thermataper TT47 LPC/FM tapered roofing system was installed by contractor Sharkey and Co. Scott Parry, Estimator with Sharkey explained why Kingspan Thermataper TT47 LPC/FM was specified: It has proved, time after time, that it is a quality product; Kingspan Thermataper ensures low heat loss through the roof, as well as preventing the build up of rainwater, which was essential for this particular project. The boards are supplied ready tapered to a pre specified fall, which not only saves installation time on site but also provides an economic alternative to incorporating structural falls and supports into the building design. Kingspan s technical & design team will issue a layout based on the drawings and their own design requirements prior to us installing the product. Based on this layout, all potential challenges and tricky areas are identified early, so that we can plan well in advance without any complications when it s onsite, which makes it cost effective for us. 12

14 Flat Roof Insulation Forth Valley College Forth Valley College was established in 2005 through the merger of Falkirk and Clackmannan College. To provide top of the range learning facilities, two new campuses were constructed in Alloa and Stirling. The new campuses provide a wide range of facilities including workshops, studios, libraries, refectories and a gym; allowing the Forth Valley College to deliver courses to over 14,000 students. Both sites have been certified BREEAM Excellent and obtaining a high level of fabric performance was a key part of this achievement. Kingspan Thermaroof TR26 LPC/FM and Thermataper TT47 LPC/FM were installed beneath a single ply membrane on the campus roofs and delivered a final roof U value of just 0.15 W/m 2. K. In addition, the products with A+ and A Green Guide summary ratings helped the buildings to attain further credits in the materials category of the BREEAM 2008 assessment. Kingspan Thermaroof Kingspan Thermaroof TR26 LPC/FM is a high performance, fibre free, rigid thermoset insulation core faced on both sides with a low emissivity composite foil facing which is used for insulating flat roofs and is fully compatible with most mechanically fixed single ply waterproofing systems and most green roof systems. l High performance rigid thermoset insulation thermal conductivity W/m.

17 Flat Roof Insulation (With Height Restrictions) Project: Caldmore Community Primary School Location: Walsall, UK Products: Kingspan Roofing System Kingspan Styrozone H 350 R Building Use: Primary School Project type: New Build Client & Architect: Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council Sub contractor: Stoneleigh Services Caldmore Community Primary School When a rise in the local population forced Caldmore Community Primary School to double its intake of pupils, architects at Walsall Council were faced with the challenge of extending the building in the already limited school grounds. The Kingspan Roofing System formed a key part of their solution, ensuring a smooth transition from the first storey classrooms to an outdoor play deck, without compromising either space or thermal performance in the rooms below. The new two storey extension has been constructed on a steep embankment between the playing fields and the school. This allows the lower level classrooms to open directly out onto the playing fields whilst the floor level of the first storey rooms matches those within the existing school building. The play deck sits on the roof of the lower level corridors and ancillary rooms. To minimise heatloss through the roof without exceeding the height threshold of the classroom floors, the Kingspan Roofing System was specified along with tapered Kingspan Styrozone H 350 R. Stoneleigh Services installed 30 mm Kingspan panels above a vapour control layer on the concrete roof slab. Kingspan Styrozone H 350 R was then laid above this in a range of thicknesses between 30 and 160 mm. This layer of tapered insulation ensures effective drainage of surface water which feeds through the porous rubber play deck surfacing. Kingspan Kingspan is a next generation insulation comprising rigid vacuum insulation panels with a microporous core, which is evacuated, encased and sealed in a thin, gas tight envelope. l Optimum performance rigid vacuum insulation panel designed (aged & edge effect) thermal conductivity of W/m. K. l Insulating performance up to five times better than other commonly available insulation materials. l Holds a BDA Agrément BAE /01/C. l Over 90% (by weight) recyclable. l Non deleterious material. l Can be used in areas where lack of space is an issue. 17

Rob Howard of architects Broadway Malyan said: The proposed design for the accommodation was subject to a rigorous environmental impact assessment process, as the University s planning application committed it to achieving a BREEAM rating of Excellent. Specifications for the build were made with this in mind. All new buildings on the Manor Park site were designed and built using sustainable construction techniques. The scheme is the first phase of a 250 million, 120 hectare greenfield development providing a campus suitable for a modern, world class education and research based university.

23 Insulation in Framing Systems Archbishop McGrath Catholic High School As the first school in Wales to receive BREEAM Excellent, the new 20 million Archbishop McGrath Catholic High School is a model example of a truly sustainable school. Supporting 750 pupils between the ages of 11 and 18, the build provided an opportunity to inspire and educate the pupils on design, the build process and sustainable construction measures. The school was funded as a joint venture by the Welsh Government, the Archdiocese of Cardiff and Bridgend County Borough Council. At three storeys high, the building s footprint was kept to a minimum, and the specification of the premium performance Kingspan Kooltherm K12 Framing Board helped deliver the required thermal performance without compromising on internal space. In addition to the well insulated external shell, the highly energy efficient design also includes photovoltaic panels and a rainwater harvesting system. Kingspan Kooltherm K12 Framing Board Kingspan Kooltherm K12 Framing Board is a premium performance insulation, with a fibre free rigid thermoset phenolic insulation core faced on both sides with a low emissivity composite foil facing which is used in timber or steel frame walls. l Premium performance rigid thermoset insulation thermal conductivities as low as W/m.

24 Insulation in External Wall Systems St. John s Community School The government declined funding for the re build of this Marlborough school until , however, its Governors decided to go it alone and after much fund raising and struggles against opposition to planning permission, the school was eventually built. It was designed to maximise natural light, exploit views over the surrounding land and forests and feel like a community campus rather than a conventional school. The school has a theatre built to professional standards with seating for 450, an amphitheatre, floor to ceiling windows and purpose built science and music rooms. The specifier required a durable render finish which was to be coloured black in the main areas with vibrant coloured panels. 70 mm Kingspan Kooltherm K5 External Wall Board Insulation gave a low U value of 0.28 W/m. K. The dry dash and bright, UV stable silicone finishes both offered exceptional weatherproofing properties. The completed school has become a striking series of vibrantly coloured, modern buildings.

29 Structural Insulated Panels in External Cladding Systems Waltham Forest College, Lowry Centre Over 1,300 m 2 of Kingspan TEK Cladding Panels has been used to help transform a jaded 1960 s college building into a stunning state of the art facility, providing bright modern workshops for fashion design and engineering. The recladding of the Lowry Centre forms part of the second stage in the multi million pound Heart of the College project at Waltham Forest College. Kingspan TEK Cladding Panels were designed and factory engineered as the cladding solution for the Lowry Centre by Kingspan TEK Delivery Partners Lowfield Timber Frames. The lightweight design allows them to be installed at a typical rate of 150 m 2 per day with a three man team up to 50% faster than other conventional cladding systems. Contractors Dagenham Construction Ltd. discussed the installation: We used the Kingspan TEK Cladding Panels to wrap the centre s existing concrete cladding. By taking this out board installation approach we were able to avoid the loss of any internal workspace while also minimising thermal bridging. In addition, entrances for the centre s new double glazed windows came pre cut into the panels when they arrived on site, allowing them to be simply fixed into place. As a result we were able to complete the building envelope extremely quickly, with virtually no site waste, allowing the internal refurbishment work to get started at an early stage. Kingspan TEK cladding panel Kingspan TEK Cladding Panel is a structural insulated panel (SIP) for use within, or fixed to the outside of, the structural frame of a building. l Can achieve whole wall U values of 0.20 W/m 2. K or better. l BBA and NSAI Agrément certified. l Insulation core manufactured with a blowing agent that has zero ODP and low GWP. l Constructions available that correspond to BRE Global Green Guide generic elements which achieve a Summary Rating of A+. l External walls can be installed up to 50% faster than if using alternative construction methods. l Minimal on site waste. l Can create highly energy efficient buildings with very low fuel bills. Achieving a high level of performance from the building fabric was another key requirement on the project as the original envelope offered little protection from the cold. The highly insulated core of the Kingspan TEK Cladding Panels allows them to achieve U values of 0.21 W/m 2. K or better and their unique jointing system also helps to minimise unnecessary airloss, further reducing heating bills. 29

40 Prefabricated Ducting University of Lincoln, Engine Shed Air ducting at The Engine Shed, the 6 million, 1,500 capacity Students Union entertainment and live music venue on the Brayford Pool campus, was fabricated from 500 square metres of Kingspan KoolDuct rigid phenolic insulation panels. The stunning building, designed by UL Architects, the University s own architectural practice, is a renovated former engine shed containing office accommodation, a performance venue and nightclub space, bars and dining. The design for the performance venue included black painted, open ceilings with exposed ductwork. Kingspan Insulation s KoolDuct System provided a practical, effective ducting solution, which was capable of fulfilling the modern, young aesthetic for the building. The System was installed by Ducted Air Systems of Lincoln. They hadn t used Kingspan products before and took advantage of the Kingspan training course to equip their workers for the job. The Engine Shed Student s Union building is part of the 100 million development of the Brayford Campus, built on a formerly derelict site. The use of Kingspan Insulation on the development supports a design ethos which has resulted in the campus being nominated for a sustainability award from The Academy for Sustainable Communities (ASC).

42 Pipe Insulation Silverstone UTC Silverstone UTC was designed by HKS and is situated at the iconic home of British racing. The college was created through a partnership between Silverstone Circuits, Tresham College and the University of Northampton, and offers specialist GCSE and A Level equivalent applied courses in either Business & Technical Events Management or High Performance Engineering. Work on the UTC building was overseen by Interserve construction and over 4,000 metres of Kingspan Kooltherm FM Pipe Insulation was fitted to the hot water pipework across the building, and 700 m² of Kingspan Therma Duct Insulation to the outdoor ductwork, by specialist contractors, Gill Insulation. To maintain a clean, minimalist interior, the internal pipework was concealed and it was therefore essential to keep the system thicknesses to a minimum. With the lowest thermal conductivity of any commonly used pipework insulation, Kingspan Kooltherm FM Pipe Insulation allowed this to be achieved without compromising on thermal performance. Ranjit Lall from Interserve commented: The key aim on this project was to create a cutting edge building which lives up to its iconic surroundings and will help to inspire the next generation to reach their true potential. As on all our projects, our staff worked tirelessly to deliver the highest standard of construction and it was essential to match this work with the top performing products and materials. The Kingspan Kooltherm FM Pipe Insulation delivered the premium thermal efficiency and fast track installation we needed, along with excellent fire performance. Kingspan Kooltherm FM Pipe Insulation Kingspan Kooltherm FM pipe insulation comprises sections of Kingspan Kooltherm insulation faced with a factory applied foil vapour barrier jacket autohesively bonded to the insulation core during manufacture. l The most thermally efficient insulation material commonly used thermal conductivity as low as 0.25 W. m/k. l Fibre free core. l CE marked in accordance with BS EN l FM approved as per Approval Standard l Achieves a Euroclass B L s1,d0 fire classification. l Lightweight and easy to install. l BRE A+ rated the only pipe insulation listed in the GreenBook Live. 42

46 Structural Insulated Panels John Warner School Pupils at an academy in Hertfordshire are benefiting from top class arts facilities thanks to a new extension constructed using the Roofing System and Kingspan TEK Building System. The John Warner School gained academy status in For the school to maintain high quality provision for growing pupil numbers additional teaching space and facilities were required. Design and build contractors TJ Evers oversaw the construction of the new two storey extension, including two specialist arts rooms on the ground floor and a further six general teaching classrooms split between the ground and upper floor. and Kingspan TEK Building Systems were installed by Kingspan TEK Delivery Partners, Lowfield Timber Frames, as part of the pitched roof and wall build ups. The products delivered the required thermal performance with a reduced thickness compared with traditional construction methods, ensuring that teaching space was maximised within the extension. An additional layer of Kingspan Thermawall TW55 insulation was installed inside the Kingspan TEK Building System to further minimise heatloss. Ian O Hanlon from TJ Evers design partners, WPP Architects, discussed the specification: One of the main reasons the Kingspan TEK was specified for the project was the high speed of installation it offers. This enabled a semi weathertight and safe environment to be formed quickly, which allowed follow on trades to start their work at an early stage in the project. The products also provided continuity of detailing for the thermal envelope and achieved improved quality control for airtightness at all intersections.
