This paper presents the current situation of the environmental behavior, throughout its life cycle, of air conditioning ducts made of glass wool panels. Their use is more and more common in the realization of high efficiency installations, frequently replacing sheet metal ducts coated with glass wool blankets, due to the advantages they bring to the installation. The life cycle analysis allows us to quantify the environmental impact of these products. The procedure will be based on the UNE-EN 15804: 2012 + A1 standard, which defines the common framework for harmonizing the structure of Environmental Product Declarations in building materials and gives veracity scientific based on the environmental data provided, when verified by a third part.
