Q1: What is an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)?
An EPD is a standardized document that reports the environmental impact of a building product based on lifecycle assessment methodologies.
Q2: Why is an EPD important for modular construction?
EPDs improve product transparency, support green building certification, and help buyers compare environmental performance across different materials.
Q3: What do international buyers usually evaluate?
Buyers commonly review verified environmental data, lifecycle impacts, certification status, carbon footprint information, and material sustainability.
Q4: What are the future trends?
Future developments are expected to include digital EPD platforms, broader international adoption, carbon disclosure requirements, and integration with BIM and digital product data.
