Environmental Product Declarations – an extensive collection of availability, EN15804 revision and the ILCD+EPD format [PDF]
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2022 The increasing awareness on climate issues in the built environment places a greater responsibility on the different actors to map the building emissions, reduce and optimise the use of materials, and thereby lower the environmental footprint. With several countries enforcing legally binding CO2 limits to assess and benchmark the negative environmental
