It includes the installation of the insulation product into the building. This information module also contains effects and aspects that are associated with losses at the building stage (e.g. waste treatment and disposal of waste and material losses as well as the transport thereof).0PIMA

USAThis stage includes the unloading of the Polyiso roof insulation from the truck to the roof using a crane or all-terrain
forklift. This stage also includes removal of all packaging and the placement of the individual roof insulation boards
by a roofing crew on the roof deck prior to the application of the roofing system, including all associated releases to
environmental media (air, soil, ground, and surface water). Once installed beneath a watertight roofing system, the
Polyiso roof insulation requires no maintenance until the roofing system is replaced.Truck - Trailer, basic enclosed / 45,000 lb payload - 8bmaterial used for roof insulationLCI resultAttributionalnoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massDirect land use change: GHG emissions from direct LUC allocated to good/service for 20 years after the LUC occurs.
Carbon storage and delayed emissions: credits associated with temporary (carbon) storage or delayed emissions are not considered in the calculation of the Global Warming Potential impacts for the default impact categories.
Emissions off-setting: not included
Fossil and biogenic carbon emissions and removals: removals and emissions are modelled as follows: All GHG emissions from fossil fuels (including peat and limestone) are modelled consistently with the ILCD list of elementary flows. In the case that the emissions refer to the molecules CO2 and CH4, they are modelled as ‘carbon dioxide (fossil)’ and ‘methane (fossil)’. Biogenic uptake and emissions are modelled separately. For land use change, all carbon emissions and uptakes are inventoried separately for each of the elementary flows. Soil carbon accumulation (uptake) via improved agricultural management is excluded from the model.NoneCut-off rules for each unit process: Coverage of at least 95 % of mass and energy of the input and output flows, and 98 % of their environmental relevance (according to expert judgement).

It can be used to characterise the supply chain situation of the respective commodity in a representative manner. Combination with individual unit processes using this commodity enables the generation of user-specific (product) LCAs.All relevant flows quantifiedThe LCI method applied is in compliance with ISO 14040 and 14044. The documentation includes all relevant information in view of the data quality and scope of the application of the respective LCI result / data set. The dataset represents the state-of-the-art in view of the referenced functional unit.Sphera Solutions GmbHOverall quality according to different validation schemes
