In addition, 1,000mē of Ward DW1000D white insulated wall panels were used to complete the building, which embodies a bodyshop, showroom display area and offices.
Border Steelwork Structures of Carlisle were responsible for the structural steelwork and roof and wall cladding.
Design features include curtain wall glazing to one end to create a showroom display area and roof overhangs to both sides of the building.
John Pallister, Director at Cumbrian Industrials , the main contractors on the BMW project comments: "The air leakage result of 3".
"12m3/h/m2 was achieved with both office windows being opened at the request of the testing engineer, as when initially these were closed, the building shell was proving to be 'effectively airtight'".
" This result compared to the regulation air leakage value of 10m3/h/m2 is an outstanding achievement, and in the words of the tester, 'one of the most efficient structures' he has encountered." Ward IP1000 insulated roof panels and Ward DW1000 wall panels are approved to LPC standards.
The roof panel is through fixed and can be used for all building applications where the roof slope is 4deg or more.
