Kingspan Insulated Panels North America

LUMCON's new 25,000 sq. ft. innovation hub in Houma, LA, is revolutionizing coastal and marine studies in the region! With a $14.5M boost and a cutting-edge design by EskewDumezRipple, this facility attracts top talent to study and preserve Louisiana’s eroding coast. Utilizing Kingspan’s insulated metal panels as the main vapor barrier, the architects were able to display unique facades and eye-catching accent fins that provide an artistic architectural juxtaposition among the coastal wetlands.

💡 Did you know → A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impacts of a product from raw material extraction to disposal or recycling. Governed by ISO standards, it uses specialized software to assess stages like material acquisition, manufacturing, use, and end-of-life. LCA data informs improvements and is shared via Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).

💡 Did you know → Embodied carbon refers to emissions from manufacturing and transporting materials, while operational carbon comes from energy use in buildings and vehicles. Despite historically focusing on operational carbon, recognizing and reducing embodied carbon is crucial for sustainability. Both forms significantly impact climate change and require our attention to mitigate their effects. Read more about embodied carbon vs. operational carbon: https://hubs.la/Q02xC4px0

Cold storage panel technology has come a long way over the century, from horsehair and wood all the way to QuadCore® technology, which is the next-generation insulation core for cold storage projects. https://hubs.la/Q02vC5YV0
