A1–A3 GWP-total per m² of 100 mm panel, per EPD

A1–A3 covers raw-material supply, transport to manufacture and manufacturing. It is product-stage information, not a whole-life result.

Verification
Third-party verified

Third-party verified (ITB / ECO Platform). Figure is for the 100 mm panel; the EPD tabulates 40–200 mm and impact scales with thickness. Module D (−37.7) is large because the coated-steel facings are recyclable — the recovery credit exceeds the product-stage carbon.

* EPD transport and installation scenario, not this project's. Not declared: site, use. Module D shows potential impacts or benefits from reuse, recovery or recycling after the product's assessed life. It is reported separately and never added to A-C. Do not compare bar lengths between materials. Each chart may use a different scale and declared unit.

* A4/A5 are EPD scenarios, not project-specific results. Module D is outside the A–C system boundary and is not added to A–C. Module nomenclature follows BS EN 15978 / EN 15804. Declared values are suitable as inputs to a whole life carbon assessment under the RICS Professional Standard (2nd edition); this panel is not an assessment.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

50 years · EPD reference service life

≈2 installations over a 60-year building study period.

B4 (replacement) follows the building, not the product: an assessor multiplies replacement cycles by project quantities. This record supplies the service life and does not compute B4.

2 claims and 1 certification are held in the staging record but not presented as product evidence because an exact public source has not yet been mapped.

Comparison Status

This result should be displayed for information only and not ranked against another product.

  • • The PCR and version are missing.
  • • The GWP indicator is missing.
  • • The carbon result is not linked to an evidence source.
  • • The EPD is not linked to an evidence source.

Evidence Gaps

  • 2 sustainability claims are withheld because exact public evidence is not mapped.
  • 1 certification is withheld because exact public evidence is not mapped.

Design & Specification Notes

Qualitative notes for early design discussion. Not product-specific EPD evidence, and not a basis for numerical comparison.

Structural insulated cladding and roofing panel — twin coated-steel facings bonded to Kingspan’s QuadCore hybrid insulation core, forming a single-component building envelope with high thermal performance and fast dry installation.

Typical Uses
