Use advice for data set	This LCA covers the Product (A1 - A3), Construction Process (A4 - A5), Use (B1-B7), End of Life (C1 - C4), and benefits and loads beyond the system boundary (D).
Technical purpose of product or process	The ProAir FRPRO1 or ProAir FRPRO2 Mechanical Extract Ventilation (MEV) system provides continuous extract ventilation of stale and moisture laden air from damp rooms to a central extract fan via a system of ductwork. The extracted air is then normally discharged outside via a single vent. Replacement air is provided via ventilation openings in the living/bedroom walls. MEV systems help provide good indoor air quality, protecting the home from condensation, damp and mould. The unit is mounted in the attic/ loft or in a cupboard and ducted to extract polluted air from the damp rooms of the house. Main features: • Mechanical Extract Ventilation Unit (MEV) is suitable for residential and small commercial up to 150 m² • The ProAir MEV unit is unique because a filter is built into it. This protects the fan, keeps it working efficiently and extends the lifetime of the unit. The body of the unit is polyethylene • Fan: 190mm backward curved impellers, 163W power rated • MEV body: sound-absorbent dense polyurethane enclosure with metal coverings • Filter: 2no G4 Pleated panel • Max Airflow: 637 m3/hr @ 100 Pa The main materials used in the ProAir FRPRO1 and ProAir FRPRO2 are: Material: PE foam sheet kg per FU: 1 - 2 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Silicone sealant kg per FU: 0.2 - 0.4 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Hydrocarbon sealant kg per FU: 0.1 - 0.5 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Galvanised steel kg per FU: 5 - 7 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Electric motor kg per FU: 0.5 - 1.8 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: PVC fixing kg per FU: 0.2 - 0.4 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Cardboard kg per FU: 0.05 - 0.2 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: PP fibre kg per FU: 0.05 - 0.2 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: PCB kg per FU: 0.01 - 0.04 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Packaging kg per FU: 0 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 The units are delivered to site in company vans. No product packaging is used. Component parts are assembled manually on an assembly line. The raw materials of the constituent components mostly comprise: PE, PVC, PP (fibre), neoprene, aluminium, mild steel, galvanised steel, copper, silicone & hydrocarbon sealants and printed circuit boards. Electricity is used for lighting, heating and power for power tools.
General comment on data set	The dataset is representative for the production processes used in 2021. The data Quality Level, according to Table E.1 of EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, Annex E, is as follows: • Geographical representativeness: Very Good • Technical representativeness: Good • Time representativeness: Very Good Allocation of energy and electricity types and amounts to the various manufacturing processes has been provided by the manufacturers along with production waste. Allocation of impacts to the products is based on the product composition mass. Flows related to human activities such as employee transport are excluded. The construction of capital assets such as buildings, manufacture of machines and transportation systems are also excluded since the related flows are assumed to be negligible compared to the manufacture of the building material when compared to these systems over a full lifetime of operation. The dataset is representative for the production processes used in 2021. The data Quality Level, according to Table E.1 of EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, Annex E, is as follows: • Geographical representativeness: Very Good • Technical representativeness: Good • Time representativeness: Very Good

¹This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
²The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
