General comment
Co-product allocation has not been used. The study includes all major raw material and energy consumption. All inputs and outputs of the unit processes, for which data is available for, are included in the calculation. There is no neglected unit process more than 1% of total mass or energy flows. The module specific total neglected input and output flows also do not exceed 5% of energy usage or mass.

Technical purpose
bauroc GREEN product is made from natural raw minerals - sand and gypsum, practically inexhaustible in nature and secondary raw material – oil shale ash, mixed with water and using an aerating agent, the aluminium. Mixed slurry formulation is poured into the casting moulds. After expansion of the mixture in pre-curing room during several hours, the aerated concrete blocks are cut and then they are put into the autoclave in groups for steam curing. bauroc GREEN products is produced with average density of 475 kg/m3. bauroc GREEN is extremely strong and durable despite its lightweight. Solidity of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) comes from the calcium silicate that encloses its millions of air pores and from the process of curing in a pressurised steam chamber, an autoclave. bauroc GREEN blocks are used in single and multi-family houses, social and public buildings as well as commercial and industrial buildings, providing economy, quality, comfort and speed in constructions, where the goal is to have the lowest possible environmental impact (and the building is being applied for a BREAAM, LEED or other sustainable building certificate). The use of secondary raw materials in the bauroc GREEN recipe has brought the environmental impact to a record low level. The products are used as interior or exterior wall material in both load-bearing and non-load bearing constructions. Having a porous structure, bauroc GREEN products provide a high level of thermal insulation and have excellent resistance to fire. It is an ideal material that offers significant savings in the initial outlay and running costs of heating or cooling buildings as well as opportunity for exploiting other potential benefits. All bauroc AAC products are classified as non-combustible and have Class A1 reaction to fire. A 150 mm thick bauroc block wall is fire resistant up to 4 hours in non-loadbearing situations and 2 hours in loadbearing situations. AAC inhibits heat transfer through a wall several times better than normal concrete. Product properties can be found on the manufacturer website at https://bauroc.eu/products. Further information can be found at https://bauroc.ee/. Packaging composition (mass-%): 95% wooden pallet and 5% of plastic film.
