Hello!

Kingspan's insulation products for HVAC and building services are used extensively in the health and education sector for a number of reasons.

However, at a new clinical building at the Birmingham Children's Hospital 'Waterfall House',
20,000 l/m of Kooltherm Pipe Insulation was specified for the building’s services to help achieve credits towards the BREEAM target rating of ‘Very Good’

The building was developed to be forward thinking as the facility needs to be adaptable and flexible in nature to meet the requirements of the future. The premium performance insulation core of Kooltherm Pipe Insulation has a thermal conductivity as low as 0.025 W/m.K and can offer a long term energy saving solution.

In addition, it achieves a 2008 Green Guide Summary Rating of A/A+. As a result, the pipe insulation can help towards achieving credits for the hospital’s lifecycle and energy targets as part of its BREEAM assessment.

“The build programme was designed with BIM (level 2) to help deliver the thermal performance whilst avoiding clashes in the building services. With Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Insulation being available as a free BIM object, it assisted with this process. BIM is a significant tool for delivering best value for our clients.”
