Environmental & Product Declaration (EPD)

In the evaluation of buildings in regard to their sustainability, EPDs (Environmental Product Declaration) are an essential prerequisite for construction. We create EPDs and analyze in this context, the energy efficiency and environmental friendliness of your production.

Sustainability of construction products for construction certification become an increasingly important aspect in the design and execution of buildings of all kinds. Many construction product manufacturers have therefore been chosen to create an EPD to represent the performance of their product effectively and transparently.

The EPD states the CO2 footprint for the manufaction of individual products and provides information on the energy and resources and the extent to which a product to the greenhouse effect, acidification, eutrophication, ozone depletion and smog formation contributes.


Why EPD's?

  • data base for the green building rating according to DIN EN 15978 sustainability of construction –evaluation of building`s environmental quality - calculation method
  • data base by environmental characteristics of a product for marketing or sales and  reflection of CO2 footprints
  • EPD's are internationally coordinated, based on international standards (ISO14025; ISO14040ff), as well as the European DIN EN 15804. They are suitable as a proof of environmental claims in public procurement
  • EPD's are the basis for a certification according to the certification standards DGNB, LEED and BREEAM

With these quantitative statements about the environmental performance of building products we offer you a product with the creation of an “ISO Type III” declaration, which is of interest for all participants in the value chain from raw materials to the building.
