| Use advice for data set | Scope: The results of the EPD are representative for Raffstore systems of ROMA KG (Trade name: 'ROMA Raffstore'), manufactured at the sites Burgau, Rostock, Oschatz and Ludwigshafen (Germany). Here, individual components of sun shading systems are produced. The concrete configuration of the Raffstore components was selected on the basis of the bestseller. For each component, the variant with the highest environmental burden was considered. The basis of the EPD is production data from the year 2022. System boundary: Type of EPD: cradle-to-factory gate with options. A1-A3 The production stage includes the raw material supply and the manufacture of pre-products and externally produced components as well as their transport to the ROMA plants. All expenditures for manufacturing processes at ROMA were considered (including energy, water supply, provision of auxiliaries, disposal of waste). The transport activities (A2) as well as the manufacturing processes (A3) are based on product-specific data. The manufacturing processes of the raw materials, pre-products and externally produced components (A1) are based on background data from Sphera's MLC databases. A4 Transport to the installation site (LKW, Diesel, 100 km). A5 Installation of the products: Thermal recovery of packaging waste. B6 Energy demand in the use phase. The energy demand is calculated from the power consumption of the motor used and the operating duration during the defined duty cycles (20,000 cycles). C1 Deinstallation of the products: Manual dismantling (no-load). C2 Transport to the disposal site (LKW, Diesel, 50 km). C3 End-of-life stage: Waste treatment (thermal recovery of plastics, shredding of electronic scrap). C4 Landfilling of inert materials. D Recycling potential (including the melting process and credit for the recovered metal) as well as potentials from energy substitution of the thermal recovery in the modules A3, A5 and C3. For the thermal and electrical energy generated in the modules A5 and C3 by the thermal treatment of production, packaging and product wastes, the potentials from energy substitution by the electricity grid mix and the thermal energy from natural gas were calculated using European datasets. Betrachtungszeitraum: The period studied for data collection refers to the year 2022. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | The function of a Raffstore is sun protection, i.e., shading of a building opening and thus preventing excessive heating of the closed interior, while balancing optimal daylight utilization. The applicable national regulations apply to the use of the products. | ||

| General comment on data set | Roller shutters are exterior sun protection products. The shade consists of horizontally arranged roll-formed slats. The slats are mounted laterally in guide rails or rope-guided carriers and can be oriented by the user according to the sun position. The roller shutter shade is stored in an aluminum housing when retracted. Roma roller shutters can be manufactured with lamella types 'flat', 'beaded', 'three-arched', 'Z' and 'Comfort and Design'. The slats are supplied in 16 standard colors and are commonly operated with crank and motor drive. Physical properties depend on the installation state, the timing of installation, and edge formation. Depending on installation state, installation location and position, the technical possibilities and properties should be evaluated differently. To protect the system from wind damage, a combination with a wind sensor is recommended for motor control. An advantage of externally mounted roller shutters is that summer heat protection can be achieved. The absorption heat resulting from solar radiation is removed by this system already outside the window component to be shaded. The unwanted ingress of solar heat gains into the building interior is minimized. Depending on the lamella shape, the respective shade can block out almost all light. Through the adjustment options, depending on the sun position, transparency, daylight utilization, and shading can be weighed against each other. This reduces overheating of buildings and minimizes the energy required for cooling as well as energy for artificial lighting. | ||

| Technology description including background system | The weight per unit area of a representative ROMA external venetial blind is 6.49 kg (excluding packaging materials). A width/length ratio of 2.0 m (width) x 2.5 m (hanging length) is assumed to be representative. This results in a total area of 5 m². All material and energy flows used in this representative sun shading system are scaled to the defined declared unit of 1 m² for the calculation of the LCA results according PCR. | ||
