* EPD transport and installation scenario, not this project's. Not declared: 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.

* Includes the EPD’s A4/A5 scenario assumptions, not project-specific transport or installation. This is the aggregation the proposed Part Z applies upfront limits to. The A1–A3 figure includes declared biogenic storage of -762 kgCO₂e; Part Z aggregates upfront carbon excluding sequestered carbon, which is the assessor's adjustment to make.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

100 years · EPD reference service life

≈1 installation 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.

Comparison Status

The record contains the basic metadata required for a controlled comparison. Products must still perform the same function and use compatible units, PCRs and lifecycle scope.

Evidence Gaps

  • •1 sustainability claim 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.

Cross-laminated timber: layers of PEFC-certified spruce stacked crosswise and bonded with formaldehyde-free PU adhesive into large solid-wood panels.

Typical Uses

  • •Primary frame
  • •Long-span elements
  • •Load-bearing supports

Key Performance

High load-bearing capacity for primary frame.

Specification Actions

  • •Confirm FSC or PEFC certification for all timber products.
  • •Request chain-of-custody documentation from supplier.
  • •Confirm the current EPD covers the selected product, finish and manufacturing route.

Indicative Health & Indoor Air

low Risk

Solid timber with formaldehyde-free PU adhesive; no added-formaldehyde emissions.
