Zenon GRP Rooflights – Calculatable Data

As the construction sector concentrates with ever-more clarity on Zero Carbon by 2050, it has become increasingly important for manufacturers to be able to play their part in enabling the measurement of embodied carbon before any project is specified.

Hambleside Danelaw were the first UK GRP rooflight manufacturer to have systems assessed and independently verified by BRE (Building Research Establishment), leading to three Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).

BRE’s comprehensive mechanism for calculating the embodied carbon of products comprises a number of separate calculations relating to each component and manufacturing process of the product.

Hambleside Danelaw’s Performance Calculator was based on the data extracted from these EPDs to allow architects, developers, contractors, building owners and land agents to use this knowledge to play their part in cutting embodied carbon. The Calculator allows for various configurations of components, according to the requirements of the project – meaning that whatever configuration is used, the embodied carbon will be clear and measurable.
