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

IOP 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 ...

Hyperledger Fabric for the (digitalized) lifecycle of construction products: Applied review on fastening technology

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 9-22, March 2025.
Abstract Blockchain technology is a digital decentralized data ledger recording transactions in an encrypted format. Its implementation can potentially hold significant advantages for the built environment, particularly in manufacturing and building product usage aligned with Building Information Modeling (BIM). This paradigm shift toward decentralized

Life Cycle Analysis as a Sustainable Governance Lever for Environmental Performance: Evidence From French SBF 120 Companies

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study draws on neo‐institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and the resource‐based view to examine the relationship between the use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and firms' Environmental Performance (EP). Focusing on French companies listed on the SBF 120 index from 2002 to 2021, it investigates how LCA adoption influences EP across three

Environmental Impacts of Light Sources in Buildings: Analysis of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in European Union

Buildings
Benchmark studies of the environmental impacts of buildings often overlook the contribution of lighting systems. This omission presents a significant knowledge gap, especially given the growing focus on energy-efficient technologies and sustainable building designs.

Recommended Approach for Use of Cradle-to-Gate Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in Procurement of Civil Infrastructure Materials

, 2023
Procurement of more environmentally sustainable materials for civil infrastructure can be supported using environmental product declarations (EPDs). An EPD is a standardized label that is a scientifically sound way to communicate the potential environmental impacts and selected resource use and waste production flows from all or part of the life cycle ...

What Drives CSR Performance: Structures, Declarations or Values?

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are increasingly central to strategic management, yet a gap persists between formal commitments and actual practice. The study explores the structural and value‐based predictors of the institutional integration of CSR and sustainability, with a focus on the mediating role of the CSR ...

Dual‐Mode Electrophoretic Displays Enabled by Quantum Dot‐Decorated PR48:2 Pigment Particles and TiO2 for All‐Weather Visibility, Excellent Bistability, and Enhanced Readability

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel quantum dot electrophoretic display (QDEPD), which combines electro‐controlled reflection and optically‐triggered emission to achieve efficient multi‐modal switching within a single pixel. By incorporating multi‐component nanostructures, the system enhances functional integration and multi‐modal response capabilities.
