Emission intensity of production of flat glass (e.g. for windows). This emission factor reflects manufacturing effort for the provision of selected building materials in Germany in 2015 (average data). Where necessary foreign shares (imports) are included. Total life cycle incl. transport + material input excl. disposal. Reference point is product provision (without use). Retrieved from GEMIS v5.0.
