Inc.]Cradle-to-gate production of mill-finished extruded aluminumProduction-weighted average, multiple locations2700 kg/m3SystemsConstructionThis dataset for mill-finished aluminum extrusions, produced by Kawneer, come from four U.S. plants: Bloomsburg, PA; Cranberry, PA; Springdale, AR; Visalia, CA; and a Candian plant in Lethbridge, AB.0Primary data were collected from four facilities in the U.S. and one in Canada with seasonal variations accounted for by collecting 12 months-worth of data. US-specific background data were used whenever possible.The manufacturing process comprises the following production stage (without surface treatment):
− Extrusion: Aluminum billet (rods approximately 24 feet in length and 8-9 inch in diameter) are heated and
pressed through various die shapes to create an aluminum extrusion.Kawneer extruded aluminum is used in a variety of commercial building and construction applications, including: high
rise curtain wall, commercial and architectural windows, storefront framing systems, sun control and shading devices,
entrances/doors, skylights, interior framing and impact resistance.LCI resultAttributionalnoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massAs required by EN 15804, in case of insufficient input data or data gaps for a unit process, the cut-off criteria were 1%
of renewable and non-renewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass input of that unit process. The total of
neglected input flows per module was a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass.
In practice, all inputs and outputs, for which data are available, have been included in the calculation. Data gaps have
been filled by conservative assumptions with average or generic data.Environmental Product Declaration - Aluminum extrusions95.02014No statementthinkstepthinkstep2020-01-01T00:00:00.000ILCD format 1.1thinkstep2020-01-01T00:00:00.00000.00.001Data set finalised; entirely publishedthinksteptrueOtherThe EPD owner (source code, database including extension modules and single data sets, documentation) remains property of thinkstep AG. thinkstep AG delivers GaBi licenses comprising data storage medium and manual as ordered by the customer.
