ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES)’s Post

How often are you requesting EPDs from manufacturers today compared to a year or two years ago?   Last year we produced a short blog post series looking at environmental product declarations. Understanding around EPDs can still be mixed, so it seemed like a good time to revisit our series.   The first post deals with the most fundamental question of all: what is an EPD?   If you find this blog post useful, why not share it with someone else who you think might also get some value from it?   #epd #embodiedcarbon #wholelifecarbon #insulation #specification #buildingdesign #buildingperformance #buildingproducts

How can manufacturers create environmental product declarations in 5 simple steps 👇 Environmental product declarations (EPDs) provide a standardized method to communicate your product's environmental footprint throughout its lifetime. While highly beneficial for manufacturers, the EPD creation process can often seem daunting. One Click LCA’s Simple Guide to EPDs breaks down the process into five simple steps: 1️⃣ Select the right product category rule (PCR) 2️⃣ Conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) 3️⃣ Prepare the background report for the EPD Document 4️⃣ Secure third-party verification 5️⃣ Publish and promote Read more about how you can generate environmental product declarations: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dEW78MkM Creating #EPDs requires the right set of tools. Watch how One Click LCA’s EPD Generator helps you streamline the creation process 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d9qXmNhZ #EPD #environmentalproductdeclaration #productlca #productcarbonfootprint #buildingmaterials #construction

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide a standardized way to share the environmental footprint of your product over its lifespan. But do you find the process of creating EPDs complex? Join our expert-led webinar on March 27 to discover how the EPD Generator can simplify and streamline your EPD creation process 👉 https://lnkd.in/d-dHcXFY #epd #buildingmaterials #construction #productcarbonfootprint

Buildings are responsible for 39% of global carbon emissions, with 11% coming from materials and construction. This is why reporting a product and/or material's #carbonfootprint is becoming increasingly mandatory. EPDs are the next step forward in this equation, but creating EPDs might often seem daunting. During One Click LCA's webinar, we'll tackle what's the importance of an #EPD and how the EPD Generator can help you streamline this process. Link to the event ➡ https://lnkd.in/dmYFrdZM

What's an 'EPD'? An EPD is an internationally recognised ‘environmental product declaration’ which is used to certify the environmental credentials of a construction product. It is designed to assist with the selection of materials for a project and whether they meet the standards/performance required for it. This is particularly helpful when aiming for certification under ‘sustainable construction’ programmes. See our Sustainable Construction FAQs: https://zurl.co/oZId #SustainableConstruction #EPDs
