WE ARE EMBODIED
CARBON EXPERTS
SERVICES
01
EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is a necessary certificate for a building material manufacturer, the purpose of which is to transparently and evidence-based show the environmental impacts of the product.
02
Each EPD requires third party validation. If the EPD has been prepared by another consultant, we are the only one in Estonia to offer the EPD verification or proof service for environmental declarations prepared for the Finnish RTS platform and the Swedish International EPD System platform.
03
We calculate and help optimize the carbon footprint or other environmental indicators from the sketch stage to the working project using the LCA Life Cycle Assessment calculation method. We offer parametric analysis at the sketch stage and based on the project's IFC model or budgeting documents at the preliminary design or main project stage.
