| Use advice for data set | Scope: The life cycle assessment (LCA) is based on data acquired for the 2011-2012 financial year (June 30 to June 30) at the production site in Westerstede/Ocholt, Germany. System boundary: EPD type: Cradle to grave (with options) In accordance with EN 15804, the following modules have been given consideration: Product stage: A1 – A3 The extraction and processing of the raw materials and biomass production and processing, including all relevant upstream activities, the provision of electricity, steam and heat from primary fuels, and also the extraction, refining and transportation of same, together with the necessary delivery transportation to the factory gate and manufacture of the packaging are incorporated in this module. For further information, please consult section 3.8. Construction stage: A4 – A5 This module encompasses the distribution channels and the process of energy recovery from the packaging materials. Use stage: B6 The use stage relates to the operation of the building and encompasses the energy input for operation of the declared product. End of life stage: C2 – C3 Included in this module are transportation to the recycling facility and the collection, processing and recovery processes applied. Credits: D The resultant value streams arising from material recycling and energy recovery for the downstream product system are indicated in this module. The life cycle assessment was prepared for the reference territory of Germany. This means that, in addition to the production processes performed under these conditions, the upstream stages relevant for Germany, such as electricity generation or fuel provision, have also been taken into account. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The separate, independently operable elements are moved into the required position on ceiling-mounted tracks. The elements are controlled by a ComforTronic actuator which uses an electric motor to automatically retract and extend the sealing strips, in the latter case ensuring maximum sound insulation and stability of the partition. The power is transmitted from element to element via end face contacts. All the partition functions are microprocessor-monitored. The partition system offers flexible space utilisation thanks to multifunctional and open room configuration possibilities: Movable MOVEO walls serve to separate areas and rooms Room sizes can be adapted to group size High level of sound insulation means different events can be held simultaneously in adjacent rooms Areas and rooms can be more efficiently utilised Areas of application include: Offices, hotels, conference centres, fairs and exhibitions, schools, religious amenities and studios |

| Technology description including background system | 1. Cutting / Pre-assembly Aluminium profiles for the rectangular baseframe are sawn to length. Sealing rail extrusions are inserted and fixed in chambers especially provided for this purpose in the horizontal and vertical profiles. The profiles are assembled together to form the frame using plastic angle brackets. The top and bottom sealing strips are provided by assembling together cut aluminium profiles and PU mouldings. Coated MDF boards are sawn to size to provide the cover panels both sides. Sawdust, chips, swarf and residues are vacuumed up and collected. The cover panels are provided with and edge using hotmelt adhesive around their periphery. 2. Final installation The pre-assembled frames and the prepared cover panels are joined together in a fully automatic hotmelt bonding machine to produce the partition element shells. Mineral wool is introduced into the element cavity. Electric sealing strip actuators are mounted on the top and bottom profiles. Roller carriers are also bolted to the top load-bearing profile. The prefabricated sealing strips are clipped onto the actuator units. Contact connectors are bolted on both ends above the vertical profiles with a cable connecting them to the actuator unit. The completed partition elements are electrically tested (extension and retraction of the top and bottom sealing strips) and then packed on a pallet for shipment. The offcuts are collected and sent to a disposal company for recycling (see section 2.16). Technical data: Sound insulation index R in [dB] = 38 dB to 55 dB per DIN EN ISO 140-3:2005 Heat transfer coefficient (U value) in [W/(m²K)] = 0.42 to 0.46 – calculated in accordance with ISO 6946 Load arising from the partition weight in [kN/m²] = 0.16 to 0.40 Declared unit: The declared unit is 1 m² of the fullwall element of the MOVEO partition system (movable wall), excluding the associated fixing components and sealants at the interfaces with the stationary wall, floor and ceiling. |
