#1 St Sidwell's Point Leisure Centre – Kier with A. Proctor Group
The A.Proctor Group were delighted to support Kier in the St.Sidwells Point project - the UK's first Passivhaus Leisure Centre. It was designed to Passivhaus standards - an ultra-low carbon leisure centre, designed to save up to 70% on annual energy costs.
The airtightness measure chosen, Wraptite, provided a simplified airtight line to help achieve the superb final air test result. Fireshield, with its intumescent coating, was installed to prevent wind washing and thermal bypass through any gaps within the insulation and the Profoil 861 vapour control layer was used internally to protect the structure.
The building has been future-proofed and modelled to withstand predicted changes in climate conditions up to 2080 - a great achievement and a model that could easily be replicated throughout the UK.
