LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)

A building LCA quantifies the lifetime environmental impacts of the actions and processes needed to construct a building.​

The main goal of performing the LCA of your building, is to improve the design and reduce the environmental impacts of the project.​

EPD (Environmental Product Declaration)

EPD quantifies the lifetime environmental impacts of a single product, based on the product LCA. It transparently reports objective, comparable and third-party verified data about products environmental performances from a lifecycle perspective.​

If there isn´t any product EPD’s for a single product, generic data needs to be used in calculations (20 – 25 % worse than specific EPD’s).​

That´s why EPD´s on products can help specifiers and planners to keep their LCA calculations below limits, within local regulations or environmental building certification as DGNB, BREEAM and LEED.​
