Window Life Cycle Assessment
An independent study on Sustainable Windows. In order to find out exactly what impact our products have on the environment and how we compare to the window manufacturing industry as a whole, we commissioned a study with Dr. Stuart Walker CEng MIMechE at the university of Derby. We asked Dr Walker to find a credible way of measuring the environmental impact of our products, and also to run a comparison to other manufacturers. The research was to be totally independent and unbiased. The point of the experiment was to measure our own success in a genuine and honest way. We needed to know what we had achieved in our goal to make sure that our products really did support a sustainable process. In finding this out we could see any areas where we could improve our performance.
