It contains the results for the modules A1-A3 according to EN 15804 and the PCR: Asphalt Shingles, Built-up Asphalt Membrane Roofing and Modified Bituminous Membrane Roofing. It includes the preparation of the precursor materials through to raw material extraction and processing, their transport to the factory and the production itself, including the provision of all supplies and materials, energy, and the complete waste treatment or the residual waste during the stage of production.
A comparison with other products is only allowed by a similar application in the building. In principle, a comparison or evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the datasets are created to be compared to EN 15804 and the product-specific features are considered.0The dataset represents leak barrier production in the United States and Canada.Foreground system:
Leak barrier manufacture involves impregnating and coating a fiberglass mat with a polymer-modified asphalt. The
polymer-modified asphalt is produced by mixing appropriate proportions of polymer, non-oxidized or lightly oxidized
asphalt, and limestone or other suitable mineral stabilizer. A fine mineral or film surfacing is applied to one side and a
removable release liner to the other side. Some products incorporate a narrow strip of permanently attached or
removable film along one edge to facilitate connection to overlapping sheets during installation. The product is cooled,
wound into rolls, and packaged for shipment.
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources.Steep-slope roofing systems are installed on roofs with slope equal to or greater than 2:12. Steep-slope roofing systems are primarily used to protect residential and light commercial construction from the weather. They are available in a variety of colors and textures. Asphalt shingle roofing systems provide protection against wind, rain, snow and extreme temperatures.LCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massForeground system:
As several products are often manufactured at the same plant, participating companies used mass allocation to report data since the environmental burden in the industrial process (energy consumption, emissions, etc.) is primarily governed by the mass throughput of each sub-process. The impacts due to the use of any recycled materials during manufacturing come only from further processing required during the recycling process. Where in-house recycling is used to create other products, co-product allocation by mass is used and any additional processing steps required for use of the recovered materials are accounted for.
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.

Primary data, collected from the participating ARMA member companies, is representative of the year 2012. The geographic coverage represented by this study is the United States and Canada, though some manufacturers source their raw materials from outside this region. Whenever US background data were not readily available, European data or global data were used as proxies, depending on appropriateness and availability. Results are presented as production weighted averages for the US and Canada.NoneFor details please see the document "GaBi Databases Modelling Principles"NoneGaBi databases75.0Not applicable2013-2014NoneA1-A3: The environmental profile includes expenses for the life cycle stages cradle-to-gate (module A1-A3). The production of the packaging has been taken into account within the modules A1-A3. The output waste flows represent the ultimate disposal of this packaging during installation. All packaging waste generated during installation, as well as 40% of the wooden pallets used for shipping of products, should be sent to landfill and the system credited with any avoided production of electricity generated from the combustion of landfill gas. The EoL scenario utilized by the EPDs assumes 100% landfilling.No statementPrimary energy from non renewable resources (gross cal. value)Primary energy from non renewable resources (net cal. value)Primary energy from renewable resources (gross cal. value)Primary energy from renewable resources (net cal. value)Primary energy demand from ren. and non ren. resources (net cal. value)Primary energy demand from ren. and non ren. resources (gross cal. value)TRACI 2.1, Ecotoxicity (recommended)TRACI 2.1, Human toxicity, cancer (recommended)TRACI 2.1, Human toxicity, non-canc.
