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.

What this number covers

Gases
EPD Italy publishes this factor as CO₂e only, with no split by gas. The CO₂e counts fossil, biogenic and land-use carbon together.
From EPD Italy's record to a comparable factor
EPD Italy 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 Italy
What it is
1 m3 of expanded polyurethane panel Most of the information (material and energy consumption, atmospheric emissions, dust and waste production) is measured and/or calculated directly at company level by yhe year 2021. The overall quality of the data can be considered very good. Cut-off by classification Infrastructure, plant maintenance and administrative activities were not taken into account.Where it applies
Thermal insulation panel made of rigid, closed-cell PIR foam, expanded between two supports. For Construction application. ISOLITE VVB HP / POLYPIR BM HP ; ISOLITE VP HP / POLYPIR ST HPSource and licence
