| Use advice for data set | Scope: Productline LSB - lining; manufactured by VELUX in Germany for sale in Europe. Declaration according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804 describing specific environmental performance of the construction product. System boundary: Type of EPD: Cradle to gate - with options. The following life cycle stages were considered: Production stage A1-A3: Consideration of the production of raw materials (plastic profile and steel) and their processing (estimated energy data: electrical energy from the national residual mix and thermal energy from natural gas); transport of major materials to the manufacturing site; assembly of semi-finished products to the final product; packaging material (including waste paper input for paper and cardboard). End-of-Life stage C1, C2, C3: C1: a manual demolition is assumed, resulting in indicator value "0". C2: For the transport to EoL by truck a distance of 50 km is assumed. C3: A scenario for the incineration of plastic in a waste incineration plant (WIP) is assumed; metals are assumed to be recycled. The EoL-Scenario does not assume waste to be disposed of on a landfill site. Module C4 is declared as"0". Benefits for the next product system D: Resulting electrical and thermal energy from the WIP, avoiding the generation of electricity and heat via fossil fuels, is considered. The amount of metals after the reduction due to the net-flow calculations is sent to a recycling process. The effort for recycling, as well as the benefit for the regained metals are declared in module D. Contribution of waste flows is considered in the modules where they occur. | ||

| General comment on data set | VELUX linings ensure an easy and quick connection of the roof window to the interior ceiling finish. They and their facings are assembled before being clicked into the window rebate in one piece from the inside and there is no need for further framing. The linings are made in white PVC, need no finishing treatment and are not sensitive to moisture. The white, semi-gloss surface and the white facings supplied ensure a harmonious connection from the roof window to most walls. The linings are available in all window sizes and generations sold after 1991. Installation angle: Linings can be installed in roof pitches from 15° to 90°. | ||

| Technology description including background system | The manufacturing at the VELUX site mainly covers processing steps of semi-finished materials purchased from suppliers like profiles and pre-fabricated films, foams and sheets. Technical data: The Declaration of Performance including relevant technical specifications and test methods/test standards can be downloaded from the website www.velux.com/ce-marking. Declared unit: The declared unit is one m related to a reference window, that the lining is installed in connection with. The declared unit is based on the representative product measuring 0.78m x 1.178m. | ||
