Description

#### Description:
See https://buildingtransparency.org/ec3/epds/ec37yaqu for reference. This pulls as being per m3, but is really per m2 with a thickness applied to make R_SI = 1 m2K/W. In this case, that thickness is 34mm, not the 1000mm that the pulled per volume value implies.

See also https://buildingtransparency.org/ec3/industry-epds/92f158ad940142f9af73d28980bd9004 for reference for issues when pulling Opening material values, as density is not provided and results in being pulled as 1 leading to inaccurate calcs as QuantityType is per mass.

Also occurs for gyp where the unit is per 1000ft2 as per https://buildingtransparency.org/ec3/epds/ec34aqja, QuantityType is incorrectly pulled as per volume.
