Environmental Product Declaration
This Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) provides verified life cycle assessment data for Fire-Trol® prefabricated fireproof steel columns, including OH, OO, OS, SH, and SS configurations. Designed for commercial construction and architecturally exposed structural applications, Fire-Trol® columns combine load-bearing structural steel with integrated fire protection in customizable round, square, and rectangular profiles. The EPD reports cradle-to-gate environmental impacts for the extraction and production of raw materials, transportation to the manufacturing facility, and manufacturing processes. It includes data for global warming potential, acidification, eutrophication, ozone layer depletion, smog formation, fossil resource depletion, resource use, water consumption, and waste generation. The assessment is based on 2023 manufacturing data from Fire-Trol’s East Hartford, Connecticut facility and is independently verified in accordance with applicable ISO standards and UL Environment PCR requirements.
