Product information
| Product name | UnitiWall insulation panel wall system |
|---|---|
| Product identification | UnitiWall insulation panel wall system - a customized, fully unitized prefabricated rainscreen exterior wall panel system with structural frame, mineral wool insulation, sheet steel AVB, thermal plenum for drainage and ventilation, cladding support, and integrated high-performance window options. |
| Product description | The declared product is a 10 ft × 10 ft UnitiWall Wall Panel with 8-7/8-inch insulation thickness configuration. It is a customized, fully unitized prefabricated rainscreen exterior wall panel system with structural frame, mineral wool insulation, sheet steel AVB, thermal plenum for drainage and ventilation, cladding support, and integrated high-performance window options. The panel provides thermal insulation and contributes to enclosure performance by combining insulation, metal framing/support elements, exterior/interior facing materials, seals, and attachment components into a factory-assembled wall panel system. The UnitiWall Wall Panel system is typically 11–15 inches thick plus cladding thickness, and panel formats are customized based on manufacturing parameters. Functional performance includes clear-wall thermal performance of RSI 4.72 m2K/W, with enhanced performance up to RSI 6.34 m2K/W when additional insulation is added to the interior structural framing cavity; air infiltration/exfiltration of <0.1 L/s·m at ±300 Pa; plenum ponding resistance of 735 Pa; dynamic water penetration resistance of 720 Pa; and uniform structural design load of ±3,375 Pa. |
| Technical purpose of product | Prefabricated rainscreen wall panel system for new construction projects and deep energy retrofits. The system is used as part of the exterior building envelope and provides true rainscreen functionality, thermal isolation, drainage and ventilation, air and vapor barrier function, and compatibility with project-specific cladding and window configurations. |
| Manufacturing or service provision description | The UnitiWall Wall Panel System is prefabricated off site at the manufacturing facility. The manufacturing process includes forming and assembling steel frame components, integrating insulation and sheet steel elements, applying sealants and related panel components, and preparing the finished wall panels for delivery. Panels are customized based on project requirements, including building structure type, cladding and architectural finish, and window or curtain wall configuration, and are delivered ready for installation. |

| Additional information about the underlying LCA-based information | Allocation: No co-product allocation was applied to the manufacturing data collected for this study. The declared product system represents 1 m² of insulation wall panel, and no co-products are generated from the manufacturing process. Where shared manufacturing activities were included, the quantities used in the model were based on product-specific equipment use or product-specific quantities provided by the manufacturer. No mass-balance allocation between different products manufactured at the facility was applied. Background datasets were taken from Ecoinvent v. 3.11 using the Allocation, cut-off by classification system model, as implemented in SimaPro. The allocation procedures embedded in the selected background datasets follow the Ecoinvent database methodology. No additional allocation was applied to these background datasets in this study. Cut-off Criteria: This study follows the cut-off criteria defined in the applicable PCR and the EN 15804 standard and does not exclude any mandatory modules or processes required under EN 15804 or the PCR. The following procedure was followed for the exclusion of inputs and outputs: • All inputs and outputs to a (unit) process shall be included in the calculation for which data is available. • Data gaps shall be filled by worst-case estimates with average or generic data. Any assumptions for such choices shall be documented. • All known mass and energy flows shall be reported; no known flows shall be deliberately excluded. • Particular care should be taken to include material and energy flows known to have the potential to cause significant emissions into air and water or soil related to the environmental indicators of this standard. Conservative assumptions in combination with plausibility considerations and expert judgement can be used to demonstrate compliance with these criteria. The following exclusions from the scope of the study were made: • Human and animal energy inputs to processes. • Production and disposal of infrastructure (machines, transport vehicles, roads, etc.) in accordance with the Section A.3.1.2 of GPI V5.0.1 • Transport of employees to and from their normal place of work and business travel • Environmental impacts associated with support functions (e.g., R&D, marketing, finance, management etc.). • No known significant environmental flows are excluded using this criterion. |

Description of the process flow diagram(s)
The product system begins with the extraction and production of raw materials, ancillary materials and packaging materials, followed by transport of these materials from suppliers to the manufacturing facility. At the manufacturing stage, the insulation wall panel system is produced at the UnitiWall facility in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, where electricity is used for production processes, the finished product is packaged, and manufacturing waste is generated. After manufacturing, the finished wall panels are transported to construction sites. At end of life, the wall panel waste is transported to disposal and sent to landfill.

| Disclaimer 1 | The GWP-GHG indicator is termed GWP-IOBC/GHG in the ILCD+EPD+ data format. The indicator accounts for all greenhouse gases except biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and emissions and biogenic carbon stored in the product. As such, the indicator is identical to GWP-total except that the CF for biogenic CO2 is set to zero. | ||||||||||||||||
