Bathroom module 3.0 - M module with Parmaflow
Use advice for data set The studied system boundary was cradle to gate with options, modules C1–C4 and module D (A1–A3, B5, C1- C4 and D). The Studied system covers the following steps of life cycle according to EN 15804: A1 Raw material supply, A2 Transport, A3 Manufacturing, A5 Installation to building B5 Refurbishment, C1 construction, C2 Transportation of end-of-life C3 Waste processing and C4 Disposal. Additionally, the benefits and loads beyond the system boundary are included to the stage D, which consists of product reuse, recycling and recovery
Technical purpose of product or process The bathroom module is a pre-manufactured bathroom that is transported to a construction site. It includes all necessary elements such as a shower, toilet, sink, cabinets, and building technology. The bathroom module is installed on-site. Module 3.0 can be installed in any multi-story building frame. There are standard bathroom modules available that offer pre-designed options for various needs. Additionally, project-specific customized modules are available. Reference Service Life (RSL) was set at 50 years based on the EU directive 2024/1275 Annex III. The EPD has been developed based on the principle of modularity, allowing for the creation of EPD results for any company's product using the main components included in the products. This EPD creating method provides high coverage and adaptability to different product variants. Component-EPD has been developed and accepted by Rakennustieto EPD Publication system. The studied product components and their descriptions are presented in following part. An essential step in the development of a Component EPD is to identify the recurring component parts in the products, which are evaluated as independent EPD components. The EPD components assigned to the product group and included in the work are described below. In general, the modularity of components in the studied product is based on the following variables: The product's room height, as well as the depth and width of the space, change with the size of the module: When the dimensions of the product change, the surface area of the walls, floor and ceiling also changes The customer-specific variation in the floor and wall covering materials of the module The customer-specific variation in the equipment of the module
General comment on data set Allocation rules used are made according to the ISO14044:2006. Allocation is avoided when possible and when necessary, allocation is made based on physical shares and also avoiding double calculations. Allocation is required if the production process produces more than one product and the flows of materials, energy and waste cannot be separately measured for the studied product. Allocation used in generic data sources follow the requirements of the EN 15804 -standard. It should be noticed that the allocation method ‘Allocation, cutoff, EN15804’ has been used for Ecoinvent 3.8 data, which complies with EN 15804. Avoiding allocation could not be avoided for following inputs as the information was only measured on factory process level. • Electricity: only measured on factory level. • District heating: only measured on factory level. • Production waste flows: only measured on factory level. • Production water consumption: only measured on factory level • Packaging materials: only measured on factory level. • Ancillary materials: only measured on factory level. The inputs were allocated to studied product based on production of bathroom module units per year. According to EN 15804, flows leaving the system at the end-of-waste boundary of the product stage (A1-A3) are allocated as co-products. According to EN 15804, process that has a very low contribution to the overall revenue may be neglected in co-product allocation. Flow Modules does not receive any compensation from co-products. Co-product allocation are not carried out. This study follows the cut-off criteria stated in RTS PCR and EN 15804 standard. This study does not exclude any modules or processes which represent more than 1 % of the emissions of studied life cycle stage. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or substances. Excluded processes and the criteria for exclusion are given in following table. Machines and facilities (capital goods) required for and during production are excluded, as is transportation of employees.

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.
