General comment
The values determined to calculate the LCA originate from verified Aluprof S.A. inventory data. The data for the processes come from the following databases: Ecoinvent v.3.7, specific EPDs, ITB-Database. Specific data quality analysis was a part of external ISO 14001 audit. The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB PCR A. Production of the facade systems is a line process in a factory of Aluprof S.A. in Bielsko-Biala (Poland). Allocation was done on product mass basis. All impacts from raw materials extraction and processing are allocated in module A1 of the LCA. Impacts from the global line production of Aluprof S.A. were inventoried and 34.3% were allocated to the facade systems production. Water and energy consumption, associated emissions and generated wastes are allocated to module A3. The life cycle analysis (LCA) of the declared products covers: product stage – modules A1-A3, construction process stage – modules A4-A5, use stage – modules B1-B7, end of life – modules C1-C4 and benefits and loads beyond the system boundary – module D (cradle-to-grave) in accordance with EN 15804+A1 and ITB PCR A. The details of systems limits are provided in product technical report. Energy and water consumption, emissions as well as information on generated wastes were inventoried and were included in the calculations. It can be assumed that the total sum of omitted processes does not exceed 5% of all impact categories. In accordance with EN 15804+A1, machines and facilities (capital goods) required for the production as well as transportation of employees were not included in LCA.

Technical purpose
Façade systems are used to fabricate glass façades of buildings such as banks, hotels, administration offices, office buildings, car showrooms, gyms, etc. They are also used for multiple spatial structures and roof glazing that light the interior and create a suitable atmosphere and comfort to its users. They are an useful tool for shaping contemporary architecture and implementing designers’ bold visions. The most popular among these products are the mullion-transom systems. ALUPROF’s façade solutions include also a range of products of various design and appearance, including a bunch of individual solutions. The MB-TT50 mullion and transom façade is the company’s most state-of the art solution. This product brings a whole new approach to the construction of profiles and accessories for tightness and thermal insulation. An important place in façade systems is occupied by the mullion-transom wall MB MB-SR50N. It has enhanced thermal insulation variants: MB-SR50N HI and MB-SR50N HI+, as well as variants for fabricating constructions of different appearances: vertical or horizontal line or “semi-structural” façade MB-SR50N EFEKT. When it comes to openable elements, the MB-SR50N is the basis for constructions such as tilt-and-pull windows MB-SR50N OW, façade-integrated windows MB-SR50N IW, and, very aesthetic and functional roof windows MB-SR50N RW. The MB-SR50N mullion-transom system is also a basis for fire resisting façades MB-SR50N EI and glazed roofs. The MB-SR50N-based roof constructions and façades can optionally be fabricated in a fire-resistant variant. ALUPROF façade offering also includes structural glazing systems: MB-SG50 and the semi-structural MB-SG50 SEMI designed to fabricate façades that convey to the buildings a representative character. In top of the façade systems ALUPROF offer EXTRABOND ventilated wall whose external coat consists of wall cladding. It ensures a good appearance and a thermal insulation of the construction. A separate group of façade systems are segment-based walls, such as MB-SE75 and individual solutions, that is, systems designed with respect to strict criteria set out in collaboration with buildings’ designers. These systems are, by definition, designed to meet project-specific requirements for aesthetics and performance.
