Building projects can be assessed against six different BREEAM certification levels, ranging from Pass to Outstanding. The final rating is determined by the number of credits achieved across a range of categories, including energy, water, materials, health, and management.
Products such as taps and shower solutions can contribute valuable credits and help improve a project's overall assessment. By selecting products with documented environmental and performance credentials, developers, architects, and consultants can support the achievement of higher BREEAM ratings while creating buildings designed for long-term efficiency and responsible resource use.
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) provides transparent, verified information about a product’s environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle. For our professional customers, EPDs are an important tool when evaluating the environmental performance of building projects, assessing material requirements, and pursuing certifications such as DGNB, LEED, and BREEAM.
EPDs can be used directly as documentation and input for Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) of buildings and may contribute valuable points within certification frameworks such as DGNB.
Our EPDs are based on Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), a recognised methodology for quantifying environmental impacts across a product’s lifespan. By incorporating EPDs into the building process, project teams gain access to reliable, third-party verified data that supports informed decision-making and accurate environmental assessments.
This is particularly valuable in certification schemes such as DGNB, LEED, and BREEAM, where documented product performance plays an important role. By providing transparent and comprehensive environmental information, we help our customers make well-informed choices that support both project goals and responsible building practices.
