Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning, Irish-born architect Kevin Roche, the Convention Centre Dublin (The CCD) is located in Spencer Dock in Dublin City and, at 475,000 ft², the largest single-use building constructed in Ireland for decades. Not only has the design team produced a state-of-the-art convention center, but it’s the first in the world to be recognized as carbon neutral.200 eclad glass stone interphaseClick photo to enlarge

The 75,000 ft² external natural-stone façade incorportea Eclad’s fully integrated thermally broken ESW system wth high-performance insulated panels behind 3cm-thick Rosa Porriño and Negro Angola granites to achieve the highest level of thermal insulation across the façade. The system was independently tested to meet the most stringent ASTM and international testing criteria and has obtained “CE” marking status for use throughout Europe.
