Why single envelope construction is driving the design of new warehouses and cold stores

A pioneering, single envelope construction technique using insulated composite panels as the construction medium is changing conventional warehouse design and bringing with it significant savings. Tony Wall, managing director of ISD Solutions comments.

It is important for architects to think beyond insulation for optimal building performance and to look holistically at warehouse or cold store projects.  By bringing together smart design, experience, expert delivery and proven know-how, a cost reduction of up to 20 per cent can be achieved whilst delivering virtually airtight, high-performing buildings with low lifetime running costs.
