The Inter­na­tion­al Dimen­sion of EPDs – Valid­i­ty, Mutu­al Recog­ni­tion, Euro­pean Collaboration

In recent times, stake­hold­ers increas­ing­ly seek advice on top­ics regard­ing the inter­na­tion­al dimen­sion of EPDs: Are EPDs pub­lished with IBU rec­og­nized all over Europe and beyond? What addi­tion­al require­ments may apply in cer­tain coun­tries? What does mutu­al recog­ni­tion mean, and how does it relate to mul­ti­lat­er­al ini­tia­tives such as EcoPlat­form and InData

Gen­er­at­ing EPDs – Tips from an Expe­ri­enced LCA Prac­ti­tion­er and Verifier

What do I need to know to suc­cess­ful­ly gen­er­ate an Envi­ron­men­tal Prod­uct Dec­la­ra­tion? What are typ­i­cal mis­takes and omis­sions that cost time in the ver­i­fi­ca­tion process? Jane Ander­son, a lead­ing expert on build­ing LCA and approved IBU Ver­i­fi­er, will talk about these top­ics from the point of view of both an LCA practition

Webi­nar by Sphera: On the Road to Net Zero – EPDs as Build­ing Blocks of the Decar­boniza­tion Strategy

2021-05-21T11:47:51+02:0010.06.2021|

Envi­ron­men­tal Prod­uct Dec­la­ra­tions (EPDs) are estab­lished com­mu­ni­ca­tion tools for the envi­ron­men­tal per­for­mance of prod­ucts, espe­cial­ly in the con­text of green build­ing pro­grams. But EPDs can do more!

For the build­ing and con­struc­tion indus­try, decar­boniza­tion of the sup­ply chain (Scope 3 emis­sions) plays a key role in achiev­ing the EU net-zero

IBU sup­ports tran­si­tion to new EPD stan­dard with attrac­tive pricing

2020-11-04T16:10:11+01:0015.08.2019|

The new Euro­pean stan­dard EN 15804+A2 reg­u­lat­ing EPDs for con­struc­tion prod­ucts will have par­tic­u­lar impacts on the impact assess­ment stage; there­fore, it will be impos­si­ble to com­pare EPD results with those accord­ing to the pre­vi­ous ver­sion EN 15804+A1. In order to offer all dec­la­ra­tion own­ers an effi­cient and effec­tive solu­tion for the long tran­si­tion peri­od of 3 years, IBU has devel­oped an attrac­tive pric­ing mod­el; it ful­ly pass­es on the con­sid­er­able syn­er­gies from a par­al­lel EPD calc

From EPDs to LEED Cer­tifi­cates to CO2-Neu­­tral Urban Districts

Kay Kill­mann, Pres­i­dent of the Ger­man Green Build­ing Asso­ci­a­tion (GGBA), has a mis­sion: ensur­ing that envi­ron­men­tal prod­uct dec­la­ra­tions are avail­able for every prod­uct installed in a build­ing. Dur­ing a pre­sen­ta­tion at the EUREF cam­pus in Berlin, he empha­sised that this is because ‘they con­tribute to the con­struc­tion of sus­tain­able build­ings and are also very much

Doc­u­ment­ing Envi­ron­men­tal Cri­te­ria in Pub­lic Tenders

Green Pub­lic Pro­cure­ment (GPP), an envi­ron­­men­­tal­­ly-con­s­cious approach to pur­chas­ing, is a valu­able tool for ensur­ing that envi­ron­men­tal cri­te­ria weigh in more heav­i­ly in the con­struc­tion indus­try. This option has rarely been put in prac­tice until now, how­ev­er, since con­tract­ing orga­ni­za­tions have been uncer­tain as to how to for­mu­late legal­­ly-com­­pli­ant envi­ron­men­tal requiremen
