Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is beam, softwood, raw, air drying to u=20%. The reference product is sawnwood, beam, softwood, raw, dried (u=20%). The product sawnwood, beam, softwood, raw, dried (u=20%) represents sawn, softwood which has been kiln or air dried to a water content (water in wet mass [kg] / dry mass [kg]) of 20 %. Beams are wooden construction elements with a large cross section (60mmX80mm or more common being 1000x1000 to 140x140 for square cross section and 60x200 for non square cross sections). Production takes place at a sawmill. Sawnwood is used as a construction material, for the production of wooden furniture, glued laminated timber, and wooden boards. Beams are mainly used as construction elements in building envelopes. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
