The types of EPD include:
·Average product Or Manufacturer-specific product
·Product range Or Product-specific
·Declared unit Or Functional unit
·Business to business Or Business to consumer
How long are EPD typically valid for?
EPDs are typically valid for 5 years, however manufacturers may wish to update their EPDs before then with their latest efficiency gains, composition or new technologies that improve the results. At Year 5, an EPD can be extended for a further 5 years, providing the manufacturer can give sufficient evidence that no significant changes have occurred to the manufacturing process.
How do EPD relate to building assessment schemes, such as BREEAM?
EPD support a projects BREEAM rating in the following 2 ways:
·Mat 01 Building Life Cycle Assessment. The data presented in the EPD results tables can be used within a building level life cycle assessment to demonstrate how different options have been considered to improve the design. 7 credits are available in this section including 2 credits for building performance against a benchmark.
·Mat 02 Environmental Impacts from construction products. Up to 1.5 credits are available for using at least 20 products in the build that have their own product specific EPD.
