EPD-IES-0025133:003
SERIE SC
The SC series air handling units are available in various standard dimensional configurations capable of guaranteeing air flow rates of up to 45,000 m³/h. The combination of the various modular sections proposed for each size allows the creation of units suitable for various needs of air intake/extraction/cooling/heating/recovery/energy recovery/filtering in the environment for which the installation is intended. The SC series can also be configured in "non-standard" versions specifically designed and sized according to the specific needs of the Customer.
For the purposes of the environmental assessment conducted through the LCA methodology, a worst-case approach was adopted, selecting the SC305 model as the representative declared unit. This model, belonging to the SC series, has the maximum dimensions and the highest air flow rate, thus being the most burdensome in terms of consumption of materials, energy and potential environmental impacts. This choice allows us to guarantee a precautionary assessment.

Limitations
EPDs within the same product category but published in different EPD programmes, may not be comparable. For two EPDs to be comparable, they shall be based on the same PCR (including the same first-digit version number) or be based on fully aligned PCRs or versions of PCRs; cover products with identical functions, technical performances and use (e.g. identical declared/functional units); have identical scope in terms of included life-cycle stages (unless the excluded life-cycle stage is demonstrated to be insignificant); apply identical impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterisation factors); and be valid at the time of comparison.
Ownership
The EPD Owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.

Data quality assessment
| Description of data quality assessment and reference years | The data quality was assessed in accordance with the Commission Recommendation 2013/179/EU (PEF) and UNI EN 15804:2019 (Annex E). For each dataset, three scores were assigned related to temporal representativeness (TiR), technical representativeness (TeR), and geographical representativeness (GR), following the criteria set out in Table 5 of the PEF Recommendation. The overall Data Quality Rating (DQR) was then calculated as the arithmetic mean of these three values: DQR = (TiR + TeR + GR) / 3. Based on the obtained value, datasets were classified into quality levels ranging from “excellent” to “poor,” with only those achieving at least a “good quality” level being considered acceptable. Overall, the data quality was considered “very good” and no data were excluded from the analysis in the LCA report. |

| battery | Company data | Ecoinvent 3.11 | 2024 | primary | 11% |
| Total share of primary data, of GWP-GHG results for A1-A3 | 62% | ||||
| The share of primary data is calculated based on GWP-GHG results. It is a simplified indicator for data quality that supports the use of more primary data to increase the representativeness of and comparability between EPDs. Note that the indicator does not capture all relevant aspects of data quality and is not comparable across product categories. | |||||
| Comment on the data sources and other information in the table | Within modules A1–A3, 89,7% of the GWP-GHG results are based on primary data. The table reports the processes that contribute more than 10% to the GWP-GHG results of modules A1–A3 that are represented by the hexagonal plate recuperator and the battery |

Information related to EPDs of multiple products
| Justification for why this is representative | The SC series air handling units are available in various standard dimensional configurations capable of guaranteeing air flow rates of up to 45,000 m³/h. The combination of the various modular sections proposed for each size allows the creation of units suitable for various needs of air intake/extraction/cooling/heating/recovery/energy recovery/filtering in the environment for which the installation is intended. The SC series can also be configured in "non-standard" versions specifically designed and sized according to the specific needs of the Customer. For the purposes of the environmental assessment conducted through the LCA methodology, a worstcase approach was adopted, selecting the SC305 model as the representative declared unit. This model, belonging to the SC series, has the maximum dimensions and the highest air flow rate, thus being the most burdensome in terms of consumption of materials, energy and potential environmental impacts. This choice allows us to guarantee a precautionary assessment. For completeness of information, the additional configurations of the SC range are reported below, ordered by increasing capacity: SC18, SC30, SC35, SC50, SC70, SC90, SC120, SC140, SC170, PAGE 4/17 SC200, SC240, SC265, SC300 and SC305.The support structure is constituted by a strong base in bent plate full of points for lifting and handling. |

e) For the development of the inventory and the calculation of eco-profiles, the SimaPro 9 software was used, and the database "ECOINVENT 3.11" was selected. To characterize the inventory data in relation to the various impact categories relevant to the system under analysis, the "EN 15804 +A2 Method" was applied as the calculation method.
