Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is heat production, at hot water tank, solar+electric, flat plate, multiple dwelling. The Reference Product is heat, solar+electric, multiple-dwelling, for hot water. This product represents heat measured in MJ. Heat for hot water is produced with a combination of a solar collector system and auxiliary heating unit powered by electricity. The collector system is made up of a pump, a water storage, tubes and the collector itself. This heat product is intended for a multiple dwelling house. Approx. 25% of heat delivered is produced through the collector system. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/4892/documentation
