The ABCs of EPDs: An Introduction to Environmental Product Declarations for Building Designers and Managers

Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes

The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is not just an idea about how to “grade the greenness” of products; it is a well-developed, globally recognized way to make responsible comparisons and decisions regarding sustainable material design and continuous improvement. This course discusses the concept of the EPD as applied to building materials and how to integrate EPDs into design and product selection decisions. Detailed information from different thermal insulation EPDs is used to demonstrate how thermal insulation provides a unique and significant payback in terms of energy and environmental impacts.

Presented by Marcin Pazera on behalf of Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA).
