Name	ProAir Heat Recovery Ventilation Unit: ProAir PA600LI/PA600PLI
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 PA600LI/PA600PLI Heat Recovery Ventilation system is used in residential units, small offices, classrooms, etc. It supplies fresh air and extracts stale air on a continuous basis throughout the building. It is designed to operate continuously at a low rate to minimise the electrical energy consumption. It removes excess moisture from the premises, and prevents the build up of condensation and consequent mould. It has two low energy electrical fans and it operates silently. It uses G4 grade air filters and has touch screen control. It is best placed within the thermal envelope of the building say at high level in a utility room or hot press in order to save on floor space. If this is not an option it may be placed in the attic. Main features: • Heat Recovery Ventilation unit is suitable for residential and small commercial up to 180 - 220m² • Heat Exchanger: Counter-flow pure polyproplene plates • Fans: Two R3G190 Backward curved impellers • Air Handling Unit body: Expanded polyethylene with metal coverings • Air Filters: G4 Pleated panels on supply and extract • Control: 0-10v input variable speed, with timed boost over-ride • Max Airflow: 323 m3/hr @ 100PA The main materials used in the ProAir 600 PLI/LI are: Material: PE foam kg per FU: 4 - 7 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: PVC and PVC fixings kg per FU: 1 - 2 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Silicone sealant kg per FU: 0.5 - 1.5 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Galvanised steel kg per FU: 3 - 5 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Hytdrocarbon sealant kg per FU: 1 - 2 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Electric motor kg per FU: 2 - 3 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Steel kg per FU: 0.05 - 0.15 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Mild steel kg per FU: 0.1 - 0.4 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Copper kg per FU: 0.1 - 0.2 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Brass kg per FU: 0.01 - 0.04 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Aluminium kg per FU: 3 - 5 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Cardboard kg per FU: 0.1 - 0.4 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: LDPE kg per FU: 0.5 - 0.9 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: PCB kg per FU: 0.2 - 0.5 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Neoprene kg per FU: 0.1 - 0.2 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Polycarbonate kg per FU: 0.001 - 0.01 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: PP synthetic fibre kg per FU: 0.1 - 0.3 Post consumer recycled material (%): 0 Pre-consumer recycled material (%): 0 Material: Polypropylene kg per FU: 4.5 - 6 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 cut-off criteria of section 6.3.6 of EN15804:2012+A2:2019 have been followed, where 99% of the total energy and materials are included, and the total neglected input flows for the modules reported on in the LCA are less than 5% of the energy usage and mass.

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.
