Module by module, up to the total
Seventeen EN 15804 modules, always in the same order. Each declared one moves the running total. D sits below zero after the total, because it is reported beside it.

Scenarios and units
Some EPDs price a module under several scenarios, such as different end-of-life routes. Each gets a tab, and each module's default is marked.
One scenario, as declared
Every module has one value, so there is nothing to choose.

The total counts fossil CO₂e. EPD Danmark reports biogenic and land-use CO₂e separately; they are shown beside it, not added.
From EPD Danmark's record to a comparable factor
EPD Danmark publishes this EPD with one value per module. Each field as printed, and what open-climate.ai made of it.
The total and its modules
Use a module on its own when you report it in a different year or scope; never add one to the total.
About this factor
From EPD Danmark
What it is
Savede træprodukter af nåletræ er ikke-styrkesorteret træ, som anvendes til forskellige formål i byggeriet, hvor der ikke er krav til bæreevne (herunder forskalling, skillerumslægter og reglar), samt emballagetræ, der kan anvendes til emballering. Savede træprodukter fås enten tørrede og høvlede eller utørrede og uhøvlede.What it includes
Tørrede, ikke-styrkesorterede træprodukter Utørrede, ikke-styrkesorterede træprodukter. Tørrede træprodukter fra Norlund undergår ved tørringsprocessen varmebehandling i henhold til internationale retningslinjer for ISPM 15 godkendelse. Forgrundssystem (A1-A3): For forgrundssystemet i A1-A3 er der anvendt vindelektricitet, da produktet produceres ved brug af oprindelsescertifikater for vedvarende energi (elektricitet fra vindmøller) svarende til det samlede elforbrug for Norlund. Baggrundssystem (A1-A3): For baggrundssystemet i A1-A3 er der anvendt gennemsnitlige elmix. Dette skyldes at ecoinvent v3.9.1 databasen ikke understøtter alle processer med residualmix. Øvrige moduler: I de øvrige moduler er der anvendt gennemsnitlige elmix.Where it applies
Ikke-styrkesorterede træprodukter fra Norlund inkluderer forskalling, skillerumslægter og reglar, som anvendes til forskellige formål i byggeriet, hvor der ikke er krav til bæreevne, samt emballagetræ, der kan anvendes til emballering.Source and licence
