Innovative upgrade & refurbishment solutions for profiled fibre cement or metal roofs & cladding

Fragile roofs are only unsafe if you walk on them.

Replace rooflights and sheets from below with Fixsafe.

Figures published by the Health & Safety Executive show that falls through fragile roof materials caused over one quarter of fatal accidents in the construction industry.

Fixsafe addresses the problem and is playing a major role in reducing this statistic.

Fixsafe allows sheets to be replaced from below, eliminating the need to access fragile roofs and thereby greatly increasing site safety. By removing the requirement for costly safety netting, roof staging or external scaffolding, on-site time is reduced and access equipment costs are minimised.

Replacing rooflights from below is an HSE recommended method and complies with Regulation 9 of the Work At Height Regulations 2005. Protect your roofers and yourself and your team by repairing or replacing rooflights and roof sheets with Fixsafe.

We also offer: • Insulated rooflights for energy-saving upgrades and refurbishment • Lightweight over-roofing for cost-effective roof refurb with minimal disruption.

EDITOR’S COMMENT

2019: reasons to be cheerful Yes, 2018 is nearly over – and what a year it’s been. As well as ongoing political uncertainty and increasing divisions in society, there remain growing global concerns over climate change and associated natural disasters.

So I’m going to leave it to the news channels and dailies to deliver all the gloom – and focus on a few bright spots and reasons to be optimistic on the subject of climate change.

“There’s a new face of climate leadership emerging from around the world: CEOs, university presidents, civil society, and leaders from local government and indigenous communities,” said Manuel PulgarVidal, global climate and energy practice lead of WWF (World Wildlife Fund). “They are demanding climate action and partnering together to accelerate implementation in key countries. This is a global groundswell and we are all in.”

World leaders are meeting in Poland as I write this – to ramp up efforts mapped out in the Paris Agreement and Sir David Attenborough has

added his authritative and mediafriendly voice to the summit.

At the recent G20 at its Summit in Buenos Aires, The OECD, UN Environment and World Bank Group called on leaders of G20 countries to do more to enable a radical shift of investment into low-carbon, climateresilient infrastructure as a way to limit the impact of climate change.

These are powerful voices, with the leverage to influence global change and put the climate deniers on the back foot. Even President Trump is backing off his claim that climate change is a hoax. Maybe he has finally started to recognise that sustainable technologies can revitalise economies as well as appeasing the climate lobby.

Paul Bennett paul@daylightingmag.co.uk

There’s a long, long way to go and many eminent scientists are concerned that we’re on the time limit already. But there is some real light light on the horizon – and growing evidence that there is a new realisation among world leaders that tackling climate change must be put to the top of their priority lists.

An innovative scheme designed to attract new talent into the built environment industry has secured the backing of three high-profile firms that have won work across the globe.

working in one company, PlanBEE gives trainees the chance to work across several companies and therefore gain a more rounded understanding of the built environment industry.

Black & White Engineering (B&W), s h e d and James Christopher Consulting are the latest companies to become sponsors of PlanBEE (Built Environment Education), a unique, flexible training programme designed to attract and retain the brightest new talent in the region, plug skills gaps and create a more flexible workforce capable of working across various construction disciplines.

Students will now benefit from a wider range of expertise with B&W, Shed and James Christopher Consulting on board.

Steven Horn, director, in B&W’s Newcastle office said: “We need to see more young people coming into our industry with knowledge of different areas of the built environment. The way PlanBEE is structured allows us to achieve this. The programme is ideal preparation for how we want to develop our staff, which is to give them opportunities to experience

Marc Horn of s h e d said: “Our expertise in BIM requires us to recruit staff with a rounded understanding of the built environment sector. PlanBEE enables us to achieve this because it moves away from traditional off-the-shelf training schemes that shoehorn professionals into narrowly defined roles in a single company.”

James Christopher Consulting, an established engineering practice in Gateshead, offers design services to the built environment sector and works on a wide range of projects.

Technical director Craig Higgins said: “We were delighted to get involved with PlanBEE and were impressed with this novel approach to recruiting, training and developing staff. There’s a strong emphasis on the application of digital technologies to different types of construction projects and we want our workforce to be at the forefront of this revolution.”

Competition authorities in Germany and Austria have approved the acquisition and plans are being made for the integration of JET-Group into the VELUX Group.

With the acquisition of JETGroup, the VELUX Group becomes one of the leading players in the commercial market in Europe. Combined with its recent acquisitions of Wasco and Vitral, and the ongoing development of VELUX Modular Skylights, the VELUX Group will build a new commercial division to the benefit of customers.

Ralf Dahmer will head the industrial flat roof segment in the VELUX Group’s commercial division.

“We now look forward to starting the integration of JET-Group into the VELUX Group. We see a lot of growth potential and possibilities to strengthen our European business to the benefit of our customers and employees”, says Ralf Dahmer, CEO of JET-Group.

The VELUX Group announced on October 11 its agreement to acquire JET-Group from Egeria, an independent Dutch investment company. The agreement was subject to approval by competition authorities in Germany and Austria.

The VELUX Group has been the market leader in the residential market for roof windows for more than 75 years. The VELUX Group’s first step into the commercial (non-residential) market was in 2012, when it launched VELUX Modular Skylights (VMS). Today, the strategy is to develop a leading position in this business area through organic growth and acquisitions.

“The approval of our acquisition of JET-Group means we can now move ahead with our plans to strengthen our foothold in the commercial market”, says David Briggs, CEO of the VELUX Group. www.velux.com

Regional Champions host Low Carbon Homes events Fabric First approach to be central theme A series of nationwide forums designed to help housing and construction professionals improve home energy efficiency across the UK has secured support from regional low carbon champions.

Dorset County Council’s Low Carbon Dorset initiative hosts the first Low Carbon Homes event in March 2019, followed

by University of Brighton’s Clean Growth UK in April and Manchester City Council in November – each having their own low carbon agenda.

Low Carbon Homes is a UKwide initiative which brings together leading experts to share best practice and pioneering methodologies to help clarify the route towards a low carbon future.

LCH Forums are free-to-attend events open to everyone across the industry, including engineers, local authorities and housing professionals as well as landlords, developers and contractors.

Delegates will have a choice of workshops which will include case studies and success stories as part of a tailored programme created to meet regional needs.

The 2019 event programmes will each be produced with support from The Green Register, with emphasis on the proven Fabric First approach. Lucy Pedler and Dan Weisselberg will chair proceedings, foster discussion and host a workshop, whilst being the “critical friend” throughout the programme development process for each Forum.

www.daylightingmag.co.uk

New appointment supports growth at Lareine Engineering

“Low Carbon Homes is an important initiative which we’re delighted to be part of, as a collaborative approach is vital to drive towards low carbon living. The unique platform provided by Low Carbon Homes can facilitate meaningful and practical understanding between those directly involved in many areas of the housing sector”, says Lucy Pedler, The Green Register’s founder.

Recent studies have shown that 13 per cent of UK CO2 emissions come from heating homes. To tackle this, government has invested £3.6bn to meet the objectives set out in their Clean Growth Strategy, published in October 2017. This forms part of the wider plan to meet Paris Agreement obligations and reduce CO2 emissions from homes by a further 20 per cent.

Graham Lock, founder of Low Carbon Homes says “if the UK is to achieve its global obligations, there must be a rapid take-up in domestic energy efficiency – especially in the 80% of existing housing stock which is poor performing”.

The events are free to attend. www.lowcarbonhomes.uk

Lareine Engineering has announced the appointment of David Brown as Senior Business Development Manager, to support and drive further growth in the Company’s Ventilation Division.

This move will enhance Lareine’s overall building envelope solutions offering, which encompasses rooflighting and ventilation.

Commenting on his appointment, Lareine Engineering Director David Mowatt, said: “We have ambitious growth plans for the ventilation side of the business, and Dave is well placed to perform an important role in developing our relationships with contractors and developers.”

David brings many years’ experience in the sector, with a career to date that has been divided between commercial glazing – aluminium, alu-timber composite systems; and window automation/ control for smoke & natural ventilation projects.

David Brown said: “I am excited to be joining such a dynamic and forward-thinking company and playing an active part in their continued growth and expansion”. www.lareineengineering.com

ROOFLIGHTS & SECURITY

Upgrading security - Part Q Building regulation explained If you’re installing secure windows and doors for your project, then why would the rooflights be any different?

By Lisa Hale, The Rooflight Company

16

Nov/Dec 2018

www.daylightingmag.co.uk

ROOFLIGHTS & SECURITY

If you’re working on a new dwelling*, Part Q Building Regulations state that rooflights deemed as easily accessible need to be proven to resist criminal attack or incorporate features that are proven to reduce crime.

What’s deemed as easily accessible?

Within the Part Q document, it defines easily accessible as: • A window within 2m vertically of a flat or sloping roof (with a pitch of less than 30 degrees) that is within 3.5m of ground level.

• A window or doorway, any part of which is within 2m vertically of an accessible level surface such as ground or basement level, or an access balcony.

Application

HIGH RISK

What are the security requirements?

Windows (including easily accessible rooflights) should be made to a design that has been shown by test to meet the security of British Standards publication PAS 24:2012. However, PAS 24:2012 is not suited to testing glass rooflights, therefore the minimum standards that are applicable to rooflights are LPS 1175 Issue 7:2010 security rating 1 and LPS 2081 Issue 1:2015 security rating A. The table below explains the different levels of security testing for each certification relevant to rooflights.

Minimum Performance Required

Suitable Rooflight

A medium risk building requires a minimum security certification of LPS 1175 SR3 for doors, shutters and windows (including easily accessible rooflights).

Doorsets tested to LPS 1175 SR5 and SR6 have been designed to resist a professional attack using powerful mains operated tools for up to 30 minutes.

LPS 1175 SR4

Rooflights tested to a medium risk certification have been designed to resist a professional attack using a variety of battery operated tools.

The duration of attack varies for each level of testing as shown below.

LPS 1175 SR3

The Conservation Plateau Secured by Design Rooflight (or similar)

Tested to withstand an attack up to 20 minutes

Rooflights tested to a low risk certification have been designed to resist a professional attack using a variety of hand tools such as hammers, crowbars, chisels and hacksaws. All low risk certifications are deemed acceptable for Part Q building regulations however the duration of attack varies for each level of testing as shown below.

LOW RISK

A low risk building requires a minimum security certification of LPS 1175 SR1 or BS. PAS 24 for doors, security grilles, shutters and windows (including easily accessible rooflights).

Notes

LPS 1175 SR6 LPS 1175 SR5

LPS 1175 SR5 Testing is generally applicable to very high security doorsets.

MEDIUM RISK

If you are looking to specify a Secured

by Design Rooflight talk to your rooflight manufacturer to understand the level of testing they have carried out.

The safest way to ensure a product is compliant is to seek documentation from the manufacturer.

LPS 1175 SR2

The Conservation Plateau Secured by Design Rooflight (or similar)

MUSEUMS & GALLERIES “From poetic concept to built reality, Kengo Kuma’s building for V&A Dundee is an architectural masterwork worthy of its glorious setting between the city and the silvery Tay.”

Delivering daylight to Dundee’s iconic new V&A museum

By Ian Bell of Daylight Delivery Systems

Professor Graeme Hutton, Professor of Architecture and member of the judging panel which chose Kuma’s design for V&A Dundee

Thanks to an original idea pitched successfully by the University of Dundee, the striking building now standing on the banks of the River Tay in Dundee is changing perceptions of Dundee and raising awareness of the city across the globe.

The spectacular new Victoria and Albert museum is the first to bear the brand of the V&A outside London.

Sited at Craig Harbour right on the banks of the River Tay, it is a valuable connection to the city, revitalising a

prime area of land and stimulating commerce as well as local and visitor interest – at the same time reestablishing and embracing the city’s relationship with the River Tay. As the original idea came to fruition, over 120 architect and design teams from around the world made submissions to the international architectural design competition for the V&A at Dundee project. Kengo Kuma’s proposal was the unanimous choice of the jury panel.

Inspired by the cliffs of Scotland’s north-eastern coastline, his winning design translated this geographical uniqueness into the building by cladding the building with lines of precast reconstituted stone panels that run horizontally around the curving concrete walls, thus creating an ‘artificial cliff’. The result is a stunning, iconic building that the Director of V & A Dundee, Philip Long, believes will be one of the must-see buildings of 21st century Europe.

Construction began in March 2015 and, notwithstanding the unique challenges presented by the distinctiveness

Nov/Dec 2018

inherent in the building’s design, Kuma’s vision was fulfilled – both externally and internally – and the building opened on 15 September 2018.

One of the most significant challenges encountered was how to introduce natural light in a building whose external façades provided only small horizontal slot-like windows partly screened by the precast panels.

One of the most significant challenges of the design was how to introduce natural light in a building whose external façades provided only small horizontal slot-like windows partly screened by the precast panels.

Concerns were raised by some that the architectural interpretation of the Scottish cliff metaphor might result in daylighting of variable quality inside the building.

www.daylightingmag.co.uk

MUSEUMS & GALLERIES Kengo Kuma of course had foreseen this and included tubular daylighting systems as part of his innovative design to deliver quality daylight deep within the building. He commented: “There are many natural light sources throughout the building, including Solatube Daylighting Systems from the roof which use natural light.

Over the course of the day the light changes, and with it the atmosphere and colours inside the building also change.”

Arup Group, the renowned built environment specialist, has been involved in the project since its inception and has helped to transform Kengo Kuma’s prize winning design from a vision into reality. Providing civil, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering expertise, along with specialist acoustic, fire, maritime, lighting and façade design services, they helped to realise this unique and complex structure.

Laura Phillips, Associate Director of Arup explained: “When we first spoke to the V&A, they were very keen to bring in as much natural light as possible into the building as daylight is key to the visitor experience.

We also wanted to deliver full spectrum light and included daylight modelling as part of the design process.

One of the areas that needed good levels of natural light is the main foyer - a double height space with very unusual angular wall areas.

Arup’s model specified sixty Solatube Daylighting Systems for installation in this area to allow visitors to appreciate the changing weather conditions outside and to balance natural light with the artificial lighting in the central areas.”

In addition, the design required that the Solatube diffusers create the

impression of “floating” between the roof and an open mesh layer below the roof. To achieve this, the 4m long reflective extension tubes used to pipe in the daylight were externally laminated in a specified shade of grey to match the underside of the roof structure, thus making the tubing virtually invisible, so the daylight appeared to come from “hovering” diffusers several metres below the roof.

The V&A also has a sophisticated building control system covering most M&E functions – including controlling the daylight levels. Daylight dimming valves were therefore fitted to each Solatube system to allow for complete control and integration with the artificial lighting.

They were installed within specially design housings on the roof (to allow service access) and fully integrated with the V&A’s lighting control system.

Ian Bell of Daylight Delivery Systems Ltd, the supplier of Solatube Daylighting Systems in the UK, said: “We were delighted to work with Arup and the design team as part of this iconic project and to help Kengo Kuma achieve his goal of enriching the building with daylight in this challenging and ground-breaking design”. www.solatube.co.uk

ROOF SAFETY

Rooflights & non-fragility: understanding the testing & terminology Mark Wilcox, Safety & ACR Representative at NARM, the National Association of Rooflight Manufacturers, gives a brief overview of the ACR[M]001 test for non-fragility.

The Red Book “ACR[M]001”, is published by the ACR: the Advisory Committee for Roofsafety: the UK’s leading authority on roofwork and roof safety. It is the UK’s only test, recognised by the Health & Safety Executive, which determines the non fragility status of roofing products.

The ACR[M]001 test procedure

ACR[M]001 defines a test for nonfragility which can be applied to any roof assembly, intended to indicate whether the roof can support the instantaneous loads imposed on it by a person falling or stumbling on it. It is not a product test but products such as rooflights can be tested as part of a roof assembly.

The test defines 3 Classes of non-fragility (A, B or C). Most roof constructions (without rooflights) are Class B or C; very few achieve Class A. Generally a rooflight should match the performance of the roof (eg if the surrounding roof without rooflights achieves Class B, so should a roof assembly including rooflights).

For GRP in-plane rooflights, NARM (National Association of Rooflight Manufacturers) publishes Guidance Note 2006/1, which gives extensive detail on the minimum rooflight weight needed to achieve non-fragility when new, and for rooflights which can be

installed rooflight is potentially as much of a hazard as a fragile product.

Practical recommendations

• Never wilfully walk on any rooflight.

This will encourage dangerous practice as not all manufacturers units are nonfragile and foot traffic may damage the rooflight.*

• Define the non-fragility classification required. Avoid use of terms such as “walkable” or “mansafe” - these terms are undefined so can result in use of lower grade products.

• Request specific evidence for any non-fragility claims (a detailed test report, signed by a competent person, or compliance with GN2006/1) and ensure this covers the application/ assembly in which the product is to be used: do not rely on general statements.

• For rooflights, method of fixing is critical – always fix the rooflight as recommended and tested. A poorly

COMMENT

Designing in light Jane Embury of Wrightstyle Limited argues the case for carefully considered daylighting and explains why cutting costs at the design stage of a building is a false economy.

Civic architecture is all about creating buildings that engage with their communities. It’s about creating places and spaces in which we are able respond positively to our surroundings at a human level.

That process of civic design, as with all architecture, is about balancing form and function in a complete building that looks good from the outside and performs well on the inside. To do that it needs one magic ingredient: light, both natural and artificial.

The use of light is fundamental to the architectural process, because it’s also fundamental to us, and how we see the world. Some 80% of information reaches our brains via our eyes.

We respond to light and colour in a psychological way that then affects us physiologically, because it helps us make sense of our surroundings.

Architects and interior designers now more fully appreciate the importance of light in their designs, particularly for public buildings such as schools and hospitals where there exist particular duties of care, and companies such as Wrightstyle have worked closely with architects to develop glazing systems to realise evermore ambitious design requirements.

It’s not just about making civic buildings lighter and brighter and cutting down on electricity bills – important though that is. For example, a recent European healthcare study found that, “the quality of the visual environment has a positive effect on the occupant’s feeling of well-being and in the case of hospitals this can affect staff performance and patient recovery…For those reasons it is essential to consider lighting at the early stages.”

The use of light is fundamental to the architectural process, because it’s also fundamental to us, and how we see the world. Some 80% of information reaches our brains via our eyes.

In a survey, 86% of directors of nursing said that hospital design was ‘very important’ or ‘important’ in relation to the performance of nurses, the most crucial aspect being the design and organisation of the hospital environment. Over 90% of nurses and all directors of nursing believed that there was a significant link between recovery rates and a well-designed environment.

Another report from a hospital in Pennsylvania compared patients whose rooms had windows looking over natural landscapes with those looking onto a brick wall. Patients with open, natural views had shorter postoperative stays – 7.9 days compared to 8.7 days. They also took fewer strong and moderate analgesic doses, and had lower rates of minor post-surgical complications.

COMMENT

A summary of various research papers into the value of light in healthcare facilities was published by the Center for Health Design (2006).

The same is true for educational facilities. A UK study on the relationship between pupil performance and the built environment found that test scores in well-designed buildings were up to 11% higher than in poorly designed schools.

One study at a middle school in London “showed clearly that the pupils in the classroom with more ambient light both felt better and worked harder. They had lower levels of sleep hormones and were therefore more alert during the darker months of the year. They also achieved better school results in mathematics, reading and writing

throughout the entire school year, and this improvement was especially noticeable during the darker part of the year.”

The trouble is that public sector design has traditionally been primarily influenced by cost, with many public buildings built on criteria of lowest-price utility – rather than as places to inspire. However, the Royal Academy of Engineers, in a paper entitled The Long Term Costs of Owning and Using Buildings, showed that increasing cost to a building’s envelope has an almost infinitesimal effect on lifetime costs – and, in perhaps making energy efficiencies, could actually achieve long-term savings.

Using a lifetime cost approach can change perceptions of what civic buildings can be about – whether those buildings are social housing units, a school, hospital or railway station.

may work or congregate.

This approach has inspired such buildings as the Jubilee Library in Brighton, the Tate Modern in London, the Baltic in Newcastle and the City Learning Centre in Bristol, using public funds to create inspirational and regenerative places at the heart of our communities.

It all comes back to light because, to paraphrase Le Corbusier’s oft-quoted aphorism, the history of architecture is the history of the window. Nowadays, modern steel systems can span huge areas and still offer levels of fire protection hitherto unimaginable – important considerations for public places where thousands of people

daylight diary NARM: building productive partnerships What does a trade association actually do? A common perception is that many trade associations exist to protect the interests of their members – and maybe provide some kind of ‘club’ environment, in which like-minded people share ideas and socialise.

NARM, the National Association of Rooflight Manufacturers, is committed to a remit that goes way beyond this limited view. Yes, of course we do play an active role in supporting our members and our industry.

However, the biggest aspect of our work – by far – takes us outside the confines of our own membership, working with partner organisitions and individuals, towards a common goal of improving standards within the construction industry: specifically those involved in the provision of daylight.

For example, NARM technical representatives have liaised with DCLG and the Industry Advisory Groups that worked on development of Part L Building Regulations.

More recently, we have worked closely with the BRE (Building Research Establishment) on their publications regarding solar shading.

A NARM technical representative

recently made a presentation at their document launch as well as previously having assisted them with SBEM development.

NARM has also commissioned independent research by leading universities and research bodies. A study undertaken on our behalf by De Montfort University indicated that rooflights make a positive contribution to the internal environment in a building, as well as reducing energy usage. This in turn contributes to the external environment by reducing the carbon footprint, helping to meet the requirements of Part L Building Regulations.

Another independent report prepared

by Oxford Brookes University’s Oxford Institute for Sustainable Development (OISD) has revealed that properly ventilated metal clad buildings are not prone to overheating, even at higher rooflight areas.

As all these projects and partnerships testify, NARM is closely involved with supporting excellence in the specification of rooflights, but our influence also extends to installation, roof safety and other areas.

As a supplier member of NFRC, the National Federation of Roofing Contractors, we actively promote best practice in rooflight installation. For example, this year we have published NARM Technical Document NTD15 ‘A Guide to Rooflights for Profiled Sheeted Roofs’, which provides detailed installation guidance as well as design and specification information. This document will form the basis of the rooflighting section of the NFRC’s soon-to-be-published profiled roofing ‘bible’, the ‘Blue Book’.

We are passionate advocates for improving safety for roof workers and have a long track record of working with the industry in this respect. We

www.daylightingmag.co.uk

have had a close working relationship with both the HSE and ACR (Advisory Committee for Roofsafety), since the Association was formed. In this time, we’ve played a major role in improving safety standards. As a case in point, we have no evidence from the HSE that anyone has died by falling through a rooflight that was built since year 2000.

In addition to the above, we have ongoing dialogue with major manufacturers of glazing materials and other rooflight components; and we are members of the Construction Products Association and Eurolux, the European trade association for rooflight manufacturers.

Last but most definitely not least, NARM draws on the combined knowledge held within its membership, which comprises most of the UK’s leading suppliers of rooflights and associated products.

TRANSLUCENT CLADDING – advertorial

Reducing the Risk A revolutionary new project in Copenhagen designed by Bjarke Ingels Group Architects has turned a waste-to-energy plant into a 95,000 square metre tourist attraction. Located on Amager island, the Amager Resource Centre incorporates a ski slope into the roof, walking trails and a rock-climbing wall up one face. All this build on the island’s reputation for extreme sports enthusiasts, thanks to its parks, beaches, dunes and lagoon for kayaking and windsurfing.

A revolutionary new project in Copenhagen designed by Bjarke Ingels Group Architects has turned a waste-to-energy plant into a 95,000 square metre tourist attraction. Located on Amager island, the Amager Resource Centre incorporates a ski slope into the roof, walking trails and a rock-climbing wall up one face. All this build on the island’s reputation for extreme sports enthusiasts, thanks to its parks, beaches, dunes and lagoon for kayaking and windsurfing.

Nicknamed Amager Bakke, or Amager Hill, the 100m building will incinerate over 435,000 tons of waste per year and serve about 140,000 local households. Given the potential dangers of such a massive operation, Kalwall® translucent cladding has been used extensively not only for its aesthetics and energy efficiency but also for its excellent explosion-venting and blast-resistant properties.

Kalwall can be specifically designed to be the weak point in the building envelope in order to relieve pressure created by any explosion, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the primary structure and the occupants.

The panels work to vent pressure out of the building, allowing it to withstand an explosion without collapsing roofs

or floors. The panels are designed to release from their mounting system but remain attached to the side of the building to avoid becoming falling debris. The interior of the panels are shatterproof and include a FibreReinforced Polymer (FRP) face sheets that can be customized to withstand 230 ft-lbs (312J) of impact. They can be 1500mm or 1200mm wide and of any length up to 3250mm. By following design criteria, the system will achieve FM (Factory Mutual) approval.

In addition to the safety aspect, Kalwall also provides dramatic savings in energy consumption. The even distribution and deep penetration of light through Kalwall means less artificial lighting is needed thereby reducing energy costs while its exceptional thermal performance and insulating properties reduce heating costs.
