Because of the environmental impacts that a building product and its associated manufacturing process pose to the physical environment, building products have come under increased scrutiny by a growing segment of environmentally concerned stakeholders. The economic costs, the energy use, and the environmental impact of residential building materials are playing an increasing role in the product choice decisions of the general public and contractors. Life-cycle inventory (LCI), a major component of life-cycle analysis, is emerging as an unbiased, scientifically rigorous method of understanding a product’s total impact from “gate to gate.” This study examined engineered wood flooring in the eastern United States. The LCI results for this product may provide a means of comparing wood and non-wood materials such as carpet, vinyl, or tile on an energy and environmental basis. Methodology put forth by the Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials was used. One square meter (10 mm thick basis) was selected as the unit basis for the final product of engineered wood flooring. Five engineered wood flooring manufacturers were surveyed in the eastern United States that represented 18.7% of total annual production in 2007. For the year 2007, data were collected for annual production, energy use and generation, material inputs, product outputs, and other by-products. Engineered wood flooring was produced from either 3- or 5- ply hardwood veneer panels. Some preliminary results found were weight-averaged values of 26.3 and 21.2 thousand cubic meters of dried veneer and wood flooring produced per manufacturing facility, respectively. Most facilities used urea-formaldehyde resin for gluing hardwood veneer into panels. These data were modeled using SimaPro to estimate the environmental footprint of engineered wood flooring manufacturing in the United States.
