About this factor

Publisher's description

This data set has been modeled according to the European Standard EN 15804+A2 for Sustainable Building. Results are depicted in modules that allow the structured expression of results over the entire life cycle.

Included processesmachine-translated

This dataset includes crude oil extraction, refinery processes, transportation and combustion of the fuel oil. Since final energy according to EnEV is provided as a reference, a boiler efficiency of 100% was modelled. Usually occurring system losses, as well as auxiliary energy and electricity consumption in relation to boiler operation are not included in this data set. The life cycle assessment is dominated by the combustion process.

Applicability

Thermal energy from light fuel oil is used for heating a building or technical processes (e.g. drying).
