| Additional information about the underlying LCA-based information | The declared unit is 1 piece of installed ventilation/sun control system with 35,46 kg (covering 1 m2) for DucoGrille Classic 130HP (representative product) over the reference service life, including the frame and louvre elements, as produced and installed in the façade. The declared unit represents the product provision of natural ventilation and external air intake/exhaust through a fixed aluminium louvre system with rain protection over the reference service life of the building component. Environmental impacts are reported for all the considered life-cycle stages defined in the EPD, per 1 m² of finished product delivered to the construction site. Although DucoGrille Classic systems are marketed and sold in larger façade assemblies, 1 m² piece can be used as a linear parameterised unit to allow scaling to project-specific dimensions. Note: The DucoGrille 60 HP variant is included within the same product group, sharing identical materials and manufacturing processes. Differences between the variants are limited to geometric configuration and resulting mass per unit area. Time representativeness: Manufacturer specific data have been collected for the year 2021. Although the dataset is from 2021, it remains valid representative for 2024 because all key factors affecting environmental performance—raw materials, suppliers, energy mix, and manufacturing processes—have not changed. The secondary data are modelled based on Ecoinvent 3.8 (2021) and Industry 2.0 (2022). Geographical scope: The DucoGrille Classic 130 HP is manufactured in Belgium, and this Environmental Product Declaration is intended for the United Kingdom market. Accordingly, the transport, installation, and end-of-life scenarios have been modelled based on conditions relevant to the UK. Database(s) and LCA software used: The modelling is done using the Quadrant LCA tool from Enperas NV, coupled with Simapro 9.0.6.1. The Ecoinvent 3.8 (2021) and Industry 2.0 (2022) databases, and the EN 15804+A2 methodology reference based on EF 3.1 have been used. The assessment results indicate that the overall data quality is adequate, with scores ranging on average from 2 to 2.5 (Good to Fair), considering geographical, technical, and temporal representativeness. |

Data quality assessment
| Description of data quality assessment and reference years | The share of primary data used in this study is 18%. The foreground data, originating from 2021, remain representative as no significant changes have occurred in raw material sourcing, product composition, energy mix, or manufacturing processes. Therefore, the data accurately reflect current production conditions for DucoGrille products and comply with the requirement that foreground data should be less than 5 years old at the time of EPD publication. The primary data consists of the energy consumed in the manufacturing process, and the transport data used to model the transportation of the final products from the production plant to the installation. Background data are based on Ecoinvent 3.8. To ensure data quality of ecoinvent 3.8, key datasets (aluminium and electricity) were compared with the latest ecoinvent 3.11. The 3.8 data is considered conservative, generally showing higher impacts across most categories. The impacts related to the capital goods, are included in the background dataset from the ecoinvent database, by including the “infrastructure“ related emissions, and the impacts related to the foreground data is considered negligible. |

| Method used to calculate residual electricity mix | The Belgian medium voltage average grid mix was used as it represents the actual electricity supply conditions for the manufacturing site and reflects the physical electricity consumed during production. Although the calculated residual mix shows lower GHG values, the average grid mix provides a more representative and conservative approach for modelling electricity use in the EPD. |

System boundary
| Description of the system boundary | b) Cradle to gate with options, modules C1-C4, module D and with optional modules (A1-A3 + C + D and additional modules). |
|---|---|
| Excluded modules | Yes, there is an excluded module, or there are excluded modules |
| Justification for the omission of modules | The louvre system is a passive façade component that does not require operational energy or water during use. Due to the corrosion-resistant aluminium construction and durable surface finish, no maintenance, repair, replacement, or refurbishment is required within the reference service life. Also, the cleaning requirements are specific to different use cases, and there is no standardization possible. Therefore, modules B1–B7 are considered not relevant and are excluded from the system boundary. |

| Brief description of the default scenario in module C | Deconstruction and end of life treatment of the product |
| Description of the default scenario in module C | Module C1 addresses the impacts associated with the dismantling of the product at the end-of-life, and it is modelled to have the same amount of energy consumption as in A5. Module C2 accounts for the transport of waste generated at the product’s end-of-life to final treatment. As actual transport distances are unknown at product level, representative UK waste management scenarios were applied in accordance with EN 15804+A2:2019. The following average transport distances were assumed: • 30 km from demolition site to sorting/transfer facility • 50 km from sorting facility to landfill • 100 km to incineration with energy recovery • 200 km to recycling These distances represent typical UK end-of-life routes and comply with the scenario-based modelling approach required by EN 15804+A2 Module C3 covers the waste processing activities, including reuse, recovery, and recycling. It is assumed that major part of the metal components (96% aluminium and 99% steel) go to recycling, and the rest is landfilled. These materials are considered to have reached the end-of-waste status after sorting and are cut-off from the system boundary beyond this point. The plastic components are sorted and sent for a conservative 100% incineration scenario. The table below shows the amount of materials destined for different treatment. The declared end-of-life (EoL) treatment scenario is based mainly on the PEFCR scenarios (2020) for the different materials at the EoL. As this scenario represents a mix of different possible treatment options, the corresponding 100% scenarios (i.e. recycling, reuse, incineration and landfill) are formulated and the results are given as additional information to enable end users to calculate case-specific EoL results. The scenarios are as follows - 100% recycling - 100% reuse - 100% Incineration with energy recovery - 100% landfill The description and the results of these scenarios are given in the additional results section. In module C4, the remaining metals are directed to landfill. The residual plastic fraction is sorted and sent to incineration and disposal. The efficiency of the incineration process is assumed to be less than 60%. |

| Description of the scenario/method | Here, the incineration is accounted with energy recovery in form of electricity and heat. The emissions from the incineration process are attributed to module C3, and the benefits of the avoided energy production due to the recovery is accounted in module D. For the energy recovery, conservative efficiencies of 20% and 10% have been assumed for heat and electricity respectively. |

Additional environmental information
Core Indicators variation due to different dimension
The variability has been assessed for DucoGrille products over an installed surface range from 1 m² to 3.62 m² during the reporting year. The declared unit (DU) is 1 m², representing the smallest and a representative installed area. The calculated variability shows a uniform increase of approximately 262% across all impact indicators, representing the upper range of possible product configurations. This variability does not indicate uncertainty in the LCA model but rather reflects the scaling between the declared unit (1 m²) and the largest configuration considered within the assessment.
This approach is included to comply with the requirements of the applicable c-PCR. It should be noted that DucoGrille 130HP (and 60HP) products are not manufactured as discrete, fixed-size units, but are produced as continuous, project-specific systems. As such, the concept of variability between predefined product sizes is not directly applicable.
Because the product design, material composition, and manufacturing processes remain consistent across all dimensions, environmental impacts scale linearly with surface area and mass. Therefore, the declared unit of 1 m² is representative, and results can be reliably extrapolated to other sizes. The reported 262% variability simply reflects this linear scaling to the maximum assessed configuration and does not imply any variation in environmental performance or composition.
Information related to EPDs of multiple products
| Justification for why this is representative | DucoGrille Classic 130HP and 60HP are from the same product family, with identical materials and production; only the blade geometry differs. The 130HP has a higher aluminum mass per m² and therefore represents the highest environmental impacts (up to ~60% higher than 60HP). Also, DucoGrille Classic 130HP is produced in custom dimensions. A 1 m² product is chosen as the representative declared unit, as the material composition remains constant and environmental impacts scale linearly with the surface area. |
