Insulation materials play a key role in the function of a building. Different type of insulations offer different types of insulating properties and can differ in emissions significantly.
As a rule of thumb, if you have an EPD, search for the EPD number first. If the data is eligible for use in your calculation tool the majority of the times it will already be available.
In this article we will discuss how you can find the right insulation in One Click LCA. Insulation products you are looking for can be fund by free-text search or using our pre-defined material filter.
Material filter: 'Insulation' and selecting the 'specific type of insulation.'
Any material or product meeting these requirements can be found with this filter. This will include different types of insulation products.
In our material sub-class we make a differentiation between:
Glass Wool Insulation
PUR (Polyurethane foam) Insulation
PIR (Polyisocyanurate foam) Insulation
XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) Insulation
EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) Insulation
Organic Insulation
Rock Wool Insulation
Acoustic Insulation Panels
Cellular Glass Insulation
ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems)
Other Insulations (e.g. Phenolic, FEF, PE, Thermoset and so on)
