Troldtekt Acoustic Panel, FUTURECEM

Spruce shredded to wood wool, mixed with FUTURECEM™ limestone-calcined-clay cement and pressed into a panel whose open surface does the acoustic work — the standard Nordic answer to a hard ceiling that echoes, screwed to battens or laid in a grid, on ceilings or as wall panelling. The wood is PEFC/FSC-certified and the panel holds more biogenic carbon than its production emits, which the declaration shows honestly: the store comes back as +7.47 kgCO2e/m² at incineration (C3), and lime carbonation earns a genuine −0.99 in use (B1). The lower-carbon variant of the panel this catalogue already lists: FUTURECEM replaces part of the clinker with limestone and calcined clay, taking declared production carbon from −0.18 to −2.89 kgCO2e/m² against the white-cement panel. Natural grey in colour rather than the white-cement pale.

Carbon and evidence

Product Evidence

Evidence currently held for the Troldtekt product record.

Troldtekt

Recorded Carbon Result

-2.89kgCO₂e/m²

A1–A3 GWP-total per m² of 25 mm unpainted panel. Negative because 6.85 kgCO2e of biogenic carbon is held in the wood wool against 3.95 of fossil emissions; the same declaration returns +7.47 kgCO2e/m² at end-of-life incineration (C3), so cradle-to-grave is positive. B1 adds a genuine −0.99 carbonation credit in use.

Indicator: GWP-total

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

* EPD transport and installation scenario, not this project's. 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 -6.85 kgCO₂e; Part Z aggregates upfront carbon excluding sequestered carbon, which is the assessor's adjustment to make.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

60 years · EPD reference service life

The EPD states a technical service life of 60 years for the panel.

≈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.
