Daylight savings
People love natural light. Subconsciously, unknowingly, we seek out sunlit places and enjoy spend-

ing time in natural light. Beyond this desire, however, are some tangible benefits to adding natural

daylighting into buildings:

In a typical building, lighting accounts Studies have proven daylighting makes

for 25-40% of energy consumption!
By allowing more natural light to penetrate
and controlling both its light and heat
components, the nancial savings could be
considerable.
Daylighting cuts energy use and pollution.
Power plants fueled by oil, coal and gas dump
thousands of tons of pollutants into the environ-
ment every day. By cutting demand for energy
production, we cut pollution, too.
employees more comfortable and productive.
Reduced absenteeism, employee satisfaction
and higher productivity are all bottom line benets
from the use of natural daylighting. An increase
of just 1% in productivity provides enough
nancial savings to a company to pay their entire
energy bill.
In addition to its health and nancial benets,
natural light also provides an almost perfect
white light that has a number of visual benets.
Best of all, natural light is of course, plentiful.

Introduction
Sustainability is the latest buzzword in not just
the construction industry, but in the wider environ-
ment too. Sustainability however is far from just
being a fad it is a way of living and constructing,
to help preserve the environment in which we live.
There are indeed many ways of acting sustainably,
but one of the easiest and cost efcient ways is to
reduce the energy that we use.
One way of reducing the energy we use
is to reduce our reliance on artificial lighting
to light our buildings.
How though, do you reduce the amount
of articial light yet maintain a workable level
of lighting? The answer is to incorporate rooight
systems into roof constructions.
By allowing more natural light in to a building,
the need for articial lighting is reduced.
The benets of using rooights go further than
just reducing our energy consumption; research
has shown that increased levels of daylight can
aid health, learning and also increase productivity.
The Kingspan Polycarb Rooight allows natural
light to penetrate in to the building, therefore
reducing the need for articial lighting.
The rooight system, which is designed for use
with the KS1000 RW system, is made from
polycarbonate, a lightweight, high performance,
durable plastic. It has superior UV resistance and
will not discolour over time coupled with a U-value
of 1.64W/mK.

16 Kingspan Daylighting Systems

 Application
The following specication is for the Kingspan
Polycarb Rooight system used for normal
factory or warehouse environments, with
a roof pitch of 7 degrees or above after
deection and where the occupants
or processes do not add signicant
quantities of water to the air.
System Benets
Thermal performance: U-value 1.64W/m2K
Excellent light transmission up to 63%
to EN410 standard
Available as either clear or opal nish
Available in lengths of 1.8 6.44m
Fire Performance Class 1Y
Single component: fast installation leading
to accelerated build speed
Simple to x: no glazing experience necessary
Lightweight and durable
Cost effective
Kingspan Polycarb Rooflights allow natural light
to penetrate in to the building, therefore reducing
the need for artificial lighting.
Let the Sunshine in and brighten your building
Recycling
The Kingspan Polycarb Rooight is 100%
recyclable, which means that at the end of its
life, it can be completely recycled unlike many
composite rooights in which only certain
elements can be recycled.
Through recycling, a number
of benefits can be achieved.
Substantial energy savings can be made
by using waste materials rather than raw materials,
these energy savings can be made from reducing
transportation emissions and the processing
of raw materials.
The amount of material that ends up in landll
is reduced. This not only prolongs the life
of the currently diminishing landll sites but
also reduces the amount of gases released
in to the atmosphere from this process.
Polycarbonate also has a scrap value, potentially
rendering the process of removing and disposing
of the panel at end of life cost neutral/positive.
Therefore using a 100% recyclable polycarbonate
rooight has both economic and environmental
benets.

SUNPIPE
Application
The SUNPIPE is a revolutionary
new way to pipe natural daylight down from rooftop
into the building - to brighten areas from dawn
to dusk where daylight from windows cannot reach.
It is energy free, super reective tube even extends
through adjustable bends and has an internal mirror
nish that intensies and reects natural daylight
delivering free outdoor light to a room or area below
- where the light is evenly diffused by a translucent
ceiling xture. At ceiling level, the diffuser has the
ability to distribute the light in every direction, giving
an even spread of light throughout the room.
Sunpipes are supplied as complete system, with
roof aluminum insulated upstands and applicable
with Kingspan roof insulated panels. Due to the
shape of the Diamond dome, the SUNPIPE is self-
cleaning, since rainwater washes off any dust or dirt
and there are no crevices for dirt to collect.

constituting and integral part of the panel systems,

 The development of sources of renewable energy is a crucial part of the strategy

to cut carbon emissions.

One of the key aspects for the success of integrating sources of renewable energy into

construction programmes is the ease with which they can be incorporated into building design.

Kingspan has a number of solutions which meet this criterion, starting with the building envelope itself.

Renewable Energy

STEP
TWO

Kingspan designs, manufactures and supplies approximately
20 million m2 of insulated roof, wall and faade panels per
annum and works in close conjunction with leading building
investors, owners, developers, designers and construction
teams for the property market.
This capability has enabled us to introduce a range of fully
integrated solar photovoltaic solutions for roofs, walls and
faades from a single, trusted provider, eliminating multi-
sourcing, installation and building envelope integration risks.
Photovoltaic (PV) systems generate clean, ination proof
electricity, reduce energy costs and can generate electricity
to be fed into the national grid or used within the building
itself. Even if the sky is overcast, PV is proven to produce
electricity.
Kingspan EnergiPanel is an innovative insulated solar
air heating system designed for roof and wall applica-
tions as a supplement to the main heating system.
Proled hollows beneath the crowns allow air move-
ment up through the panel and the air is warmed by
the simple process of using the outer steel skin as
a solar energy absorber. The darker the external colour
of the panel the greater the solar absorption.
Because it is a single component system, Kingspan
EnergiPanel allows fast track construction, so the over-
all carbon footprint associated with the installation is
minimised. The system integrates seamlessly with other
panel systems from the Kingspan range and is available
in a range of colours.

Every kW produced has zero-carbon emissions,
which signicantly reduces the carbon footprint. It limits
dependency on fossil or nuclear fuels and facilitates meeting
corporate social responsibility needs. Such an investment
could increase the saleable / rentable value of the building
and would enhance the buildings energy ratings.
The Kingspan EnergiPanel combines Kingspans
existing state of the art insulated panel techno-
logy with a tested and proven solar air heating
capability.
The EnergiPanel Solar Air Heating System has
the exibility of being either integrated with the existing
HVAC system or utilised in a standalone heating capac-
ity. It is available with the Kingspan Total Guarantee
covering both the thermal and structural performance.

Let the Sunshine in and brighten your building 45

 The nal step is to be efcient with our remaining resources where fossil fuels have to make up

the shortfall in energy supply, this should be done as cleanly and as sparingly as possible.

The aim of safeguarding the natural resources has led Kingspan to develop a range of solutions that

instead of consuming fossil-depleting energy, capitalize on the most natural of resources sunlight.

Reduce demand

STEP Polycarb Rooight Wall-Lite

THREE

The simplest way to save the energy is just to turn off the
lights.
This vision has compelled Kingspan to introduce a range of
products that bring the natural light into the buildings, thus
reducing the need for articial, energy-consuming lighting.
Harvesting daylight
We could reduce our demand for electricity by thou-
sands of megawatts just by opening up our buildings to
daylight and the Kingspan Wall-Lite, a translucent wall
panel, does exactly that.

A novel concept in sandwich panel faades, the

Research has shown that increased levels of daylight can
aid health, facilitate learning and increase productivity.
The Kingspan Polycarb Rooight is designed for use with
the KS1000 RW insulated panel system.
