Data
Background This product-specific declaration was created by collecting production data from the British Columbia, Canada location. Secondary data sources include those available in ecoinvent v3.10 and US-EI 2.2 databases. The materials, energy usage, and transportation to the point of usage of fenestration assemblies reported in this document include the production of the final fenestration assemblies, any other ancillary materials used during production, and the primary packaging of the final product.
Allocation The PCR prescribes where and how allocation occurs. Since only facility-level data were available, allocation among the facility's other products was necessary to determine the input and output flows associated with the product. To accurately allocate electricity and natural gas used at the facility to window, door, and window wall production, the total annual energy consumption was calculated through labor unit allocation, which proportionally assesses the percentage of manufacturing activities for each product type versus total annual labor activities. Additionally, no co‐products were produced during the fabrication processes.
Cut-off criteria for the inclusion of mass and energy flows are 1% of renewable primary resource (energy) usage, 1% nonrenewable primary resource (energy) usage, 1% of the total mass input of that unit process, and 1% of environmental impacts. The total of neglected input flows per module does not exceed 5% of energy usage, mass, and environmental impacts. The only exceptions to these criteria are substances with hazardous and toxic properties, which must be listed even when the given process unit is under the cut-off criterion of 1% of the total mass.
No known flows are deliberately excluded from this declaration, and no substances considered to be hazardous or toxic according to the TRI or local regulations are present in the products. Therefore, these criteria have been met. Biogenic carbon is included in reported results.
Quality of inventory data is judged by its precision (measured, calculated, or estimated), completeness (e.g., unreported emissions), consistency (degree of uniformity of the methodology applied on a study serving as a data source), and representativeness (geographical, temporal, and technological).
To ensure reliable results, first-hand industry data in combination with consistent background LCA information from SimaPro and LCI databases were used. Primary data associated with the manufacturing process was collected and checked for mass balance and data inventory completeness. Background data were sourced primarily from the ecoinvent database, and other databases were used if data were not available in ecoinvent or the data set was judged to be more representative.
Other methodological choices were made consistently throughout the model. The data set is considered complete based on a review between the LCA team and key Cascadia stakeholders. Where country-specific data were unavailable, global or rest-of-world averages were used to represent transportation in those locations. Additionally, no proxy data were used to represent materials and therefore did not have a significant impact of the results.
The following data sets were used in the LCA for modeling glazing:
- Flat glass, uncoated, at plant/US- US-EI U
- Flat glass, coated, at plant/US- US-EI U
- Aluminum, production mix, at plant/US- US-EI U
- Sheet rolling, aluminium/US- US-EI U
- Argon, liquid, at plant/US- US-EI U
- Zeolite, powder, at plant/RER S
- Polybutadiene, at plant/US- US-EI U
- Polysulphide, sealing compound, at plant/US- US-EI
Major system boundary exclusions:
- Construction of major capital equipment & maintenance and operation of support equipment
- Human labor and employee transport
- Manufacture, transport, and disposal of packaging materials not associated with the final product
- Building operational energy and water use
Major assumptions and limitations:
- Primary data were modeled based on the information provided by Cascadia and supplemented by the technical and safety data sheets provided.
- Since energy inputs were not available on a per-product basis, electricity and natural gas consumption were allocated based on the percentage of labor units per product.
- Generic data sets used are considered good quality, but actual impacts from material suppliers, transport carriers, and waste processing may vary.
Scenarios and additional technical information
Installation [A5] Biogenic carbon emissions generated in the installation phase stem from wood crates used as packaging. While the impacts from installation are out of the scope of this cradle-to-gate study, ISO 21930:2017 requires that biogenic carbon emissions associated with packaging disposed after product installation be separately reported. The table below shows that the biogenic carbon removals from packaging in the manufacturing stage (A3) are then accounted for as biogenic carbon emissions from packaging in the installation stage (A5).

Scaling factors: double-glazed to triple-glazed
Results in this EPD are presented assuming a default double-glazed option. In order to calculate results for triple-glazed products for the applicable product types, multiply the results in each impact category by their associated product-specific scaling factor shown here:

Significant data limitations currently exist within the LCI data used to generate waste metrics for Life Cycle Assessments and Environmental Product Declarations. The waste metrics were calculated in a way conformant with the requirements of ISO 21930:2017, but these values represent rough estimates and are for informational purposes only. As such, no decisions regarding actual cradle-gate waste performance between products should be derived from these reported values.
