Kalzip solar sheet roofing installed at Energus

Kalzip aluminium standing seam roofing have been installed on the Energus Centre of Excellence in Cumbria by approved Teamkal contractor, Lakesmere.

The installation featured Kalzip Alu Plus Solar sheets, providing a lightweight and fully integrated renewable power generation source; the system utilises a robust yet flexible thin film PV laminate, factory-bonded directly onto the Kalzip sheet's outer surface.

A large training and education workshop at Energus is covered by a fully built-up Kalzip roof system with an overall U-value of 0.25 W/mK.

The mono pitch roof comprises a combination of Alu Plus Solar and standard Kalzip AF sheets which are all PVF colour coated to RAL 9006, Metallic Silver over a Bright White coated structural liner deck.

The Alu Plus Solar system at Energus generates a peak power output in excess of 44 Kilowatts which equates to an average of 30,000 Kilowatt hours per annum.

A fully built-up mono pitch Kalzip roof with an overall U-value of 0.25 W/mK has also been installed over the front half of the main Energus building.

The outer sheets are standard stucco embossed Kalzip with Bright White perforated Kalzip roof liner sheets and a combination of sound absorbing insulation materials for improved acoustic performance.

Site assembled, triple skin Kalzip Multivault SSR rooflights with a U-value of 2.20 W/mK have also been incorporated into the workshop's roof to further conserve energy resources and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Installed in a series of runs between the Alu Plus Solar panels, the rooflight's weather sheets comprise a double skin of polycarbonate barrel vaults over in-plane translucent GRP liner panels.

This gives an even distribution of diffused daylight with minimal shadow effect throughout the workshop.
