✨ [NOUVELLE TRIBUNE SUR LA DPEB] ✨ @Crédric Bruge, Président de Bacacier By Kingspan, a contribué à la rédaction d'une tribune sur la Directive sur la Performance Énergétique des Bâtiments (DPEB). Cette directive européenne joue un rôle essentiel dans la transition vers un bâti plus durable et économe en énergie, en fixant des normes ambitieuses pour la rénovation énergétique des bâtiments existants. La tribune, corédigée par les dirigeants des différentes entités de Kingspan en France, a été publiée dans Les Echos le 1er août 2024. Elle souligne l'importance d'une mise en œuvre efficace de la DPEB pour atteindre les objectifs climatiques tout en dynamisant l'économie du secteur du bâtiment. Nous vous invitons à découvrir cette analyse précieuse et à réfléchir ensemble aux défis et opportunités liés à l'amélioration de la performance énergétique de nos bâtiments. 🔗 https://ow.ly/7PxQ50Tk3ou #DPEB #Energie #BâtimentDurable #Kingspan #Bacacier #TransitionÉnergétique #LesEchos

In partnership with CoCo Architecture, Kingspan played a key role in the architectural design of a new secondary school, Collège de Champier, located in the heart of Isère between Lyon and Grenoble. The project's focus was on improving thermal efficiency and ensuring optimal blackout for classroom content projection. An innovative solar shading system was installed using over 4,800 Solarfin extruded aluminium louvres in a striking mix of seven colours, echoing the region's woodland landscape. With 81 motors controlled by a dynamic building management system, the sunshades adjust to weather conditions, offering both automatic and manual control for perfect lighting in each classroom. From specification to installation, Kingspan Light Air France led the project, combining functionality with modern aesthetic.

Full House! 🤩 Bei dem ausgebuchten RDA-Kompetenztag im FOUR Frankfurt drehte sich gestern alles um die "Druckbelüftungsanlagen der Zukunft". Gestartet sind wir mit den Fachvorträgen zur allgemeinen Funktionsweise von Rauchschutzdruckanlagen (RDA) bzw. Druckbelüftungsanlagen (DBA): von Normen und Richtlinien über Redundanz vs. Selbstüberwachung der Anlagen bis hin zu Grauzonen bei der Ausführung sowie Messmethoden. 🏢🔃 Abgerundet wurde der Tag durch eine Besichtigung der Anlagentechnik im Turm RT3 des Ensembles FOUR Frankfurt.

We’re excited to share an update on our Planet Passionate partnership with Just a Drop! Now in our 3rd year of a 5-year collaboration, we're driving global change through sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene projects. Our latest initiative focuses on tackling period poverty in Kenya, where we're proud to support the Kathambu Village community. Through a menstrual hygiene programme, we’re not only breaking the stigma but also empowering women and girls with the skills to make and sell their own sanitary products within the local community.

💧 🌍 This #WorldWaterWeek we celebrate our shared commitment to the global Planet Passionate programme, and recognise the vital role water plays in our lives and the vulnerable communities. We are pleased to announce that a team of nine Planet Passionate representatives across various Kingspan Light, Air Water regions will soon be travelling to Kenya for five days to support, educate and volunteer with our charity partner. We understand the importance of giving back to communities in need and our 5-year Just a Drop partnership embodies that, prioritising equitable access to clean water, safe hygiene practices, education, and sustainable water for all. In 2024 we will build our second rainwater harvesting tank alongside telemetry and visit the site.
