Building a Greener Tomorrow: Kingspan Unveils New Home for Innovation and Sustainability

At Kingspan Insulated Panels North America, we are proud to announce the completion of our newly retrofitted and expanded headquarters in DeLand, Florida. This 29,000-square-foot facility stands as a true testament to our commitment to sustainability and innovation, reflecting the core values of Planet Passionate.

As the face of Kingspan’s North American division, we wanted to create a DeLand office that fosters a welcoming and collaborative environment. Our new headquarters features modern office spaces, break rooms and flexible workstations alongside a cutting-edge client experiential area – all designed to inspire innovation and teamwork while creating a seamless experience for employees, partners and visitors alike.

Incorporating Our Own Products

Our new headquarters features an impressive array of Kingspan products, including more than 21,000 square feet of insulated metal wall panels and 30,000 square feet of insulated metal roof panels. These advanced solutions are complemented by Kingspan’s façade, insulation, skylights and ductwork products.

Innovating with Circularity and Reduced Environmental Impact

As part of our commitment to circularity, we made substantial efforts to reduce our environmental impact in the new facility’s construction. By reusing much of the existing structure and recycling materials, we were able to divert 99% of construction waste from landfills. Notably, we reused insulation foam from our neighboring manufacturing facility in the cement mixture for concrete floor slabs and pavers. Additionally, we donated 3,000 ceiling tiles to local businesses impacted by hurricanes.

By retaining the original structure, we were able to reduce the embodied carbon of the project by 60%, compared to demolishing and rebuilding the facility from scratch.

Sustainability Features of the New Facility

The design of the new office focuses on operational efficiency and reducing environmental impact in every aspect. Some of the key sustainable features include:

● An all-electric design with no natural gas systems.

● Heat recovery HVAC systems and advanced controls to optimize energy consumption.

● 100% LED lighting with energy-saving controls.

● Daylighting strategies to bring in natural light, improving occupant well-being.

● 12 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, supporting lower-carbon commuting.

● Rainwater harvesting systems to reduce water usage for non-potable applications.

● Stormwater management practices designed to protect local waterways and reduce flooding.

We are also targeting leading certifications, including LEED v4 BD+C Gold Certification and the International Living Future Institute’s Net Zero Carbon + Energy Certification.

Looking Toward the Future

Our DeLand headquarters represents much more than just a place of work – it embodies our commitment to advancing building performance, reducing environmental impact, and showing how sustainability can be realized in any project. It is designed to foster collaboration and customer engagement, all while demonstrating our long-term commitment to growth in North America.
