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.
