Kingspan invest heavily in research and development and are constantly assessing market needs and designing solutions to meet customer requirements. Key areas of research have focused on sustainability, renewable energy resources, the reduction of running costs, and most importantly, lowering carbon emissions. As a result, a simple intelligent building system has been created.

At the forefront of innovation, Kingspan has created a revolutionary yet simple insulated panel system which not only provides the established high performance features of an insulated panel, but also generates renewable energy in the form of solar air heating.

Kingspan EnergiPanel^TM is an innovative insulated solar air heating system designed for roof and wall applications as a supplement to the main heating system.

Kingspan EnergiPanel^TM is like no other insulated panel system. Solar energy is collected simply by using the outer steel skin as a solar energy absorber and incorporating profiled hollows beneath the crowns to facilitate air movement up through the panel.

Key Benefits

The Kingspan EnergiPanel^TM solar air heating system:

• It is a low cost and reliable renewable energy source which provides rapid payback on investment – Kingspan's large scale test facilities have shown that heating cost can be reduced by up to 20%.*
• Can significantly reduce the buildings carbon emissions.*
• Increases chance of achieving planning permission – hundreds of local authorities are expected to follow Merton’s lead by adopting pro-renewables planning policies.
• Provides a low carbon footprint for system installation – no extra steel plate, support framework, extra fixings and transport costs.
• Increases stability of assets value by achieving a better Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD) certificate rating.
• Can help to deliver the following credits in BREEAM 2008:
     MW1 - Materials - up to 3 credits
     MW8 - Responsible Sourcing – up to 3 credits
     P1 Refrigerant GWP – up to 1 credit
     P4 (2006) / Mat 6 (2008) – insulation - up to 2 credits
     E1- CO2 Reduction – up to 15 credits
