The Trimoterm production process starts with the unwinding of two coils of steel sheet in unwinding device, with the steel sheets being shaped in the profiling unit of the assembly line. The sheet profile and the side joint of the panels ‘are produced in the profilation process, which is carried out on a rotary motion tool according to the principle of rolling endless sheet Next, mineral wool plates are cut and inser the so-called “carpet of mineral wool”. Th forms the core of the panel, which provides 1 Page 4 of 16 pages EPD-191008, issue 21.9. 2022 TRI MO required mechanical properties of the final product. After the profiling of the steel sheet and the preparation of mineral wool, polyurethane adhesive is applied. The adhesive is two- component and reacts above a certain temperature. Therefore, both adhesive and steel sheets are preheated before the application process. The adhesive represents the adhesion between the outer sheet and the mineral wool and between inner sheet and mineral wool. The final stage in the assembly process is the closure of the top sheet, bottom sheet and the mineral wool by compression in a double belt, where the adhesive finally reacts and creates adhesion between all components of the finished composite. in addition, sealing is inserted in both internal and external panel joint. The final product is an endless panel, which needs to be cut to the desired length. The cutting is done with the band flying saw, which travels in synchronization with the panel. Finally, finished panels are stacked in a package, protected with foil and prepared for transport to construction site. | 1 eat emer (Speen) a “figure 1: The schematic representation of the joterm facade panel production process = Packaging The following materials have been used for the packaging of the final product: br.

On the other hand, it can be seen from Figure 3 that modules C2 and C4 exert a minimal environmental burden in terms of the considered environmental impact categories. Figure 3 also shows that module A4 has a positive environmental impact in terms of POCP, where it presents -10% of the total impact in terms of the photochemical ozone creation potential. The photochemical ozone is generated by sunlight- initiated oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the presence of nitrogen oxides (NO,). The volatile organic compounds react differently with different oxidants (e.g. ozone, NO, etc.) and therefore can either have negative or positive effects on the ozone formation. The negative value of the transport in terms of the POCP is related to the separation of the NO, emissions in the NO» and NO emissions, with NO and 03 (ozone) reacting to NO, BERING; O., during the night time and thus leading to the re@vction of the POCP. e LJUBLAANS6téAtial environmental benefit has been “Gatculalé for benefits and loads beyond the syst boundary stage (ie. module D) for all insidered environmental impact categories.

It can be seen from Figure 4 that there is a potential benefit due to the reusing/recycling of the metal sheets, which can be obtained during the end-of- life stage of Trimoterm Power T facade panels. A potential environmental benefit can be seen in terms of the following impact categories: 26% of the total impact in terms of GWP, 20% of the total impact in terms of AP, 14% of the total impact in terms of EP, 19% of the total impact in terms of POCP and 19% of the total impact in terms of ADP fos. ‘Trimoterm Perform R facade panel Page 15 of 16 pages EPD-191006, issue 21.9. 2022 TRI MO Figure 5: The relative contributions of different life cycle stages (i.e. modules A1-A3, A4, C2, C4 and D) to the environmental impact of Trimoterm Perform R facade panels It can be seen from Figure 5 that the product stage (ie. modules A1-A3) contributes the most to the environmental impact of the considered Trimoterm Perform R facade panels. For example, the product stage represents on average 68% of the total environmental impact in terms of GWP, 100% of the total environmental impact in terms of, ODP, 77% of the total environmental impact in terms of AP, 79% of the total environmental impact in terms of EP, 71% of the total environmental impact in terms of POCP, 98% of the total environmental impact in terms of ADP el. and, 74% of the total environmental impact in terms of ADP fos. The other life cycle stage that has a more significant impact on the environmental burden associated with the life cycle of the considered Trimoterm Perform R facade panels is the construction stage (i.e. module A4). For example, module A4 represents on average 6% of the total environmental impact in terms of GWP, 4% of the total environmental impact in terms of AP, 7% of e total environmental impact in terms of EP and (SE lb average 7% of the total environmental impact in “gs Loueefpat etre 5 that modules C2 and C4 exert a ‘minimal ¢nvironmental burden in terms of the termsf ADP fos. On the other hand, it can be seen consiiisfed environmental impact categories. (Obr, P.U.10-100-8/2 ZAG EPD Figure 5 also shows that module A4 has a positive environmental impact in terms of POCP, where it presents -10% of the total impact in terms of the photochemical ozone creation potential. The photochemical ozone is generated by sunlight- initiated oxidation of volatile organic compounds (Voc) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the presence of nitrogen oxides (NO,). The volatile organic compounds react differently with different oxidants (e.g. ozone, NO, etc.) and therefore can either have negative or positive effects on the ‘ozone formation. The negative value of the transport in terms of the POCP is related to the separation of the NO, emissions in the NO2 and NO emissions, with NO and O; (ozone) reacting to NO, ‘and Oz during the night time and thus leading to the reduction of the POCP. ‘A potential environmental benefit has been calculated for benefits and loads beyond the system boundary stage (i.e, module D) for all considered environmental impact categories.
