Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) as a competitive parameter within sustainable buildings and building materials

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
Abstract The demand for technical and verified documentation of buildings and building materials is growing, along with the increasing focus on sustainability in the built environment. However, despite a common wish to build sustainably, it is still found that EPDs and LCAs are not always similarly interpreted, leading to ...

Environmental product declaration (EPD) usage in early building design stages: Review of effects on the environmental life cycle of a multi-residential building

open access: yesBioResources, 2023
The building sector has seen recent growth in the number of published environmental product declarations (EPDs). EPDs share environmental data of construction materials, which can help building practitioners prioritize products with lower environmental impacts. However, EPDs rely on varying assumptions within their life cycle assessment (LCA).

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Clay Construction Product

open access: yes, 2021
Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) for clay construction products provide important information about those products and their use. The professional and technical foundations of the EPD must be verifiable and must meet the requirements of ISO 14025 for ecolabels, the ISO 21930 for EPD for building products, and the more specific EN 15804 for ...

Emerging Materials and Future Strategies for Solid Oxide Electrochemical Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Solid oxide electrochemical cells operate under strongly coupled electrochemical and thermodynamic conditions, where performance is constrained by interactions among crystal structure, defect chemistry, and interfacial evolution. This review, based on a structure‐defect‐property‐durability framework, reveals the roles of lattice symmetry and defect ...

Sustainability of earth building materials - Environmental product declarations as an instrument of competition in building material industry

open access: yesVitruvio: International Journal of Architectural Technology and Sustainability, 2015
The evaluation of the building process in terms of their environmental impact in all life cycle phases of a building leads to the key principle of sustainable building: the analysis of the life cycle of the materials used in a building.

Pancake Lenses through Curved Lamination for Compact Virtual Reality

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents an ultrathin VR optical system based on a 1.35 in. microdisplay, leveraging curved lamination technology. Compared to mainstream solutions, the proposed design demonstrates superior compactness (volume compression by 12%) and enhanced optical performance.

Environmental impact analysis of structural steels using retrieval-augmented generation and large language models

open access: yesGreen Technologies and Sustainability
Reducing embodied carbon in the built environment requires reliable methods to assess structural materials, particularly steel, one of the most carbon-intensive. While environmental product declarations (EPDs) provide standardised and verified life cycle
