Emission Factor
Double glazed unit - 8 mm of glass - ex cavity and ex frame
32.51kgCO2e/m2
Emission factor summary
Emission intensity of double glazed unit - 8 mm of glass - ex cavity and ex frame. A example of a typical double glazed unit e.g. 4 mm spacer 4mm - giving 8mm glass total. Total thickness of glass excludes any spacer thickness. Air or argon filled.. Embodied carbon of the glass is the average of data collected from 10 datapoints The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.
