The members of the associations are indicated on the association homepages.
This data set contains the results for the modules D according to EN 15804 and is valid for all products within the indicated range of density. For an application of the dataset the specific density of the product has to be taken into account.
The production of the packaging materials is taken into account in A1-A3. The disposal of the packaging can be found in module A5. The treatment of the packaging waste and the installation residues of the product lead to credits declared in the EPD in module D. The open waste flows in this process can therefore be linked (see also comment for the respective flows in the LCA tab).
The following modules are declared for this product in the underlying EPD: A1-A3, C4, D.
The following datasets are available for this product in the GaBi database : A1-A3, C4, D.
A comparison with other products is only allowed by a similar application in the building. In principle, a comparison or evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the datasets are created to be compared to EN 15804 and the product-specific features are considered.0The production of the External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems takes place in the Brillux plant in Münster. Some of the components of the company Brillux are produced in Herford and Malsch.Foreground system:
The declared External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) reaches its purpose to reduce the loss of heat through the use of polystyrene foam outside wall components /DIN EN 13163/. The insulations boards are glued to the outsite part of the facade by using a cementitious adhesive mortar (according to /DIN EN 998-1/) and then are dowelled. The flush-mounting used for the boards is resin bonded and is mechanically stabilized by the plastering of a grass fiber mesh. In order to imporove the adhesion to the board an adhesion agent is applied as a primer. A silicone plaster is used as weather-resistant finishing coat, which is coated with the recycling facade paint. The base coat and the silicone plaster are in accordance with /DIN EN 15824/. The packaging materials of the individual components of the system are made of paper / cardboard or polyethylene.
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources. The External Insulation Composite System is used to save heating energy in existing buildings as well as in new constructions, thereby reducing the impact of some impacts (e.g. CO2 emissions) in the environment. At the same time it fulfills the functions of protecting the facade against climatic influences and serves as the facade of the building.LCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massBackground system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.
