NIST Releases Building Systems Repository and Updates Construction Materials Repository
The Engineering Laboratory (EL) in collaboration with the Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) released the second National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) repository on the Federal LCA Commons (FLCAC): a set of building systems models built using data from the FLCAC. This repository contains single- and multi-silicon photovoltaic panel supply chain data. It includes silicon refining from metallurgical grade to single- and multi-crystalline silicon, and the manufacturing of wafers, cells, panels and laminates, as well as consumption mixes for 2018.
