CA Group is able to assist by providing easy integration of renewable energy solutions, as well as proving the unique CA SolarWall® unglazed Transpired Solar Collector system (uTSC).
Recent concerns in the construction sector relating to the integration of photovoltaic modules to roofs and electric vehicle charging stations onto or adjacent to wall cladding are driving the requirement for better fire protection for these areas of the building. In roof applications all CA solutions offer BROOF (t4) in accordance with BS EN 13501-5, however more recent industry requirements suggest that the minimum standard should require non-combustible insulation be used for roofs where PV modules are to be mounted. CA Therma-quilt is classified as BS EN13501-1 A1 ‘non-combustible‘.
Furthermore where EV charging units are intended to be mounted on or close to wall cladding, CA Twin-Therm® wall systems offer as standard 15 minutes Insulation (I) resistance and 240 minutes Integrity (E) resistance in accordance with BS476-22, and this resistance is symmetrical, protecting from fire break out (inside to out) and from fire break in (outside to in). This provides an ideal solution where insurance companies may have valid concerns about fire risk from EV charging stations. CA Twin-Therm(R) also offers, as standard, LPCB LPS1181-1 Grade EXT-B, meeting most insurance standard requirements.
