| Use advice for data set | Scope: The environmental product declaration refers to a window type Janisol 1 in specific dimension width x height. The characteristic values used for the system components Janisol 1 in the LCA are provided by Jansen AG. The declared product is defined according to the profile series and product characteristics. The location of the production site is Oberriet/ Switzerland. This EPD was created with the help of a semi-automatic LCA-Tool. System boundary: Type of EPD according to EN 15804: "cradle to gate with options, modules C1–C4, and module D". The following modules are declared: A1–A3, C, D and additional modules: A4 + A5. Production (modules A1-A3): This module considers the provision of all relevant window components (i.e. metal profiles/ components, glass units and plastic parts/profiles) and raw materials including their transport to the declared production plant. This considers the manufacturing and assembly of these components, including waste processing up to the end-of-waste state. The impact of packaging materials is also covered by this module. Transport to the construction site (module A4): A distance of 100 km is considered for the transport of the packed finished product via truck. The transport distance can be modified project-specific if required by linear scaling. Installation (module A5): Treatment and disposal of packaging material is considered in this module. Credits for potential avoided burdens due to energy substitution of electricity and thermal energy generation are declared in module D under European conditions and affects only the rate of primary materials (no secondary materials). EoL stage (modules C1-C4): Module C1 - considers manual deconstruction (without environmental burdens). Module C2 - considers 50 km truck transport to waste processing. The transport distance can be modified project-specific if required by linear scaling. Modules C3 and C4 - consider waste processing and/or disposal with the following scenarios: Scenario 0: 100% thermal treatment of all raw materials with heating value including plastic system parts and 100% recycling of metal system components (C3). Landfill of all materials without heating value (except metals) including glazing (C4). Scenario 1 (module C3/1): 100% recycling of plastic system parts and 100% recycling of metal system components. Landfill of all materials without heating value (except metals) including glazing (C4/1). Modules C4 & C4/1 are identical. EoL scenario 0 (modules C3 and C4) Collected separately waste type (window element) 38.26 kg Recycling (C3) 22.05 kg Energy recovery (C3) 1.63 kg Landfilling (C4) 14.71 kg EoL scenario 1 (modules C3/1 and C4/1) Collected separately (window element) 38.26 kg Recycling (C3/1) 23.52 kg Energy recovery (C3/1) 0.16 kg Landfilling (C4/1) 14.71 kg Benefits and loads beyond the product system boundary (module D): Considers credits and loads from the recycling of the metal components (duplicated in D and D/1) and the recycling of the plastic system parts/profiles (D/1). Avoided burdens from the thermal treatment of all raw materials with heating value (including plastic system parts/ profiles) (D) and packaging treatment (duplicated in D and D/1) under European conditions are considered. This affects only the rate of primary materials (no secondary materials). | ||

| General comment on data set | Janisol 1 windows are made of steel profiles with a depth of 60 mm and has the same face width as the Janisol window. The system meets fire resistance classes for window applications as well as for fixed glazing. It also impresses with its simple and efficient processing. | ||

| Technology description including background system | The main material for our profiles is steel. Description of life cycle stages modeled: Modules A1-A3: Our steel profile system consists of the following materials: glazing (single-pane safety glass), thermally separated steel profile (fire-resisting profiles), aluminium and stainless steel accessories as well as gaskets made of CR and EPDM. Module A4: A truck transport to the building site at a distance of 100 kilometers was considered (truck, 40 tons EURO6). The transport distance will be adjusted at the building level. Module A5: For the construction, it is assumed that the window is installed manually (load-free). Module C1: For deconstruction, it is considered that the window is deconstructed manually. Module C2: For the transport from the building site to the landfill 50 km (truck, 40 tons EURO6) were assumed. Module C3: Recycling is accounted for all metal components. Thermal treatment is accounted for all plastic components. Module C4: Landfill is considered of all materials without heating material. Module D: Metals are assumed to be recycled. Technical data: According to the CE marking, the following structural data for the element must be stated: Declared unit: The declared unit is a 1 m2 of Janisol 1 window element. The actual reference size of the declared window element has dimensions of 1230 mm x 1480 mm. | ||
