A brand-new housing development in Scunthorpe called Yaddlethorpe Grange has Alpha Heating Innovation’s InTec GS boilers installed in all 68 properties. Incorporating the latest flue gas heat recovery technology, the InTec GS is perfect for the environmentally conscious homeowner. As well as


the potential to reduce gas consumption by up to 35 per cent when providing hot water, it has a low electrical consumption. In terms of its components the InTec GS scores highly with a stainless-steel heat exchanger and high efficiency Grundfos pump and hydroblock assembly. It uses the same connections as a standard combi so is easy to fit and comes with a five-year warranty as standard meaning peace of mind for all parties.

A development for contemporary urban living in Bristol is benefiting from the latest advancement in vacuum insulation technology and exceptional thermal performance with the Kingspan OPTIM-R E Roofing System. The building includes several small roof-top balconies, which are above heated spaces


and offer an extension to the living areas. Installers at Youngs Roofing noted that “the need to retain low threshold heights whilst meeting the demanding U-value of 0.14 W/m2.K provided a challenge” for this project. The Kingspan OPTIM-R E Roofing System offered the perfect solution. With an ultra-slim 80 mm thick design, Kingspan OPTIM-R E delivers an outstanding thermal conductivity of 0.009 W/m.K.

New research from building consultants, Peutz B.V., has revealed that by using higher performing insulation within rainscreen and cavity walls, it is possible to reduce construction thicknesses and achieve noticeable improve- ments in internal natural light levels. Its findings are explored in full in the updated Daylighting White Paper from Kingspan Insulation. The findings showed that in all


scenarios, the constructions using Kingspan Kooltherm insulation achieved improved average daylight factors. The percentage improvements ranged from: 10.6 – 63.2 per cent with Kingspan Kooltherm K15 Rainscreen Board; 13.7 per cent - 23.2 per cent with Kingspan Kooltherm K106 Cavity Board; and 6.3 per cent - 24.3 per cent with Kingspan Kooltherm K108 Cavity Board.
