Frequently asked questions

Learn more about the EPD Generator for NMD

What are the main regulatory requirements for creating EPDs in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands, the Milieu Prestatie Berekening (MPG) methodology is mandatory for all office buildings over 100 m² and all residential buildings. The Dutch Building Decree requires these buildings to undergo an LCA assessment using data compliant with EN 15804 +A2 standards. Environmental impacts must be expressed as shadow prices in €/m²/year, and the assessments must include foundations, floors, supporting structures, facades, roofs, and building installations, but exclude operational energy and water usage.

How does One Click LCA's EPD Generator simplify the EPD creation process for the Dutch NMD?

One Click LCA's EPD Generator streamlines the EPD creation process by automating data input from the ecoinvent 3.6 database, conducting detailed scenario analyses, and generating comprehensive impact reports. The tool ensures compliance with Dutch NMD and EN 15804 +A2 standards, helping manufacturers produce accurate and high-quality EPDs efficiently. Additionally, it offers support for verification, making the entire process more straightforward and less time-consuming.

What types of data are included in the Dutch National Environmental Database (NMD) and how are they categorized?

The Dutch National Environmental Database (NMD) includes three categories of data: Category 1 consists of product-specific data, Category 2 contains sector average data, and Category 3 features generic government-commissioned data. These categories are used to ensure comprehensive environmental impact assessments, with Category 3 data being penalized with a 30% top-up in calculations to encourage manufacturers to develop their own EPDs.
