EPDs in ventilation — impact and strategy with Soler&Palau: How to act on the real carbon hotspots in HVAC

Ventilation plays a critical yet often overlooked role in building performance and occupant health. But as carbon regulations tighten across markets, understanding and communicating the environmental impact of HVAC components — especially through Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) — is becoming essential.

In this session, Product Sustainability Manager at Soler&Palau, Martí Roig Rabadà shares how the company is using life-cycle assessment (LCA) and EPDs to quantify, reduce, and report the environmental impact of their ventilation products — and how One Click LCA has supported this transformation.

Drawing from their recently published EPDs under the International EPD System — including the industry-first for an in-line extract fan — this webinar explores:

• The environmental significance of mechanical ventilation systems in modern buildings
• Key challenges and limitations in developing HVAC EPDs, including data quality, scalability, and cost
• Operational vs. embodied carbon — and why energy use dominates GWP impacts for many ventilation units
• Practical carbon reduction strategies through energy efficiency, materials selection, and green manufacturing
• How automation and One Click LCA’s onboarding program accelerated the EPD journey at S&P

Who should attend:

This webinar is tailored for product sustainability managers, LCA specialists, HVAC manufacturers, EPD program operators, and construction sustainability professionals interested in learning from a manufacturer’s practical experience in delivering multi-product, third-party verified EPDs.

Why attend:

• Gain actionable insights into scaling EPDs across complex product portfolios
• Understand how to meet increasing demand from AEC professionals and regulatory frameworks
• Learn from a real case: environmental performance metrics, energy source implications, and carbon hotspots
• Discover the benefits of digital tools for LCA automation and data harmonization

Secure your spot and join the conversation on how EPDs are shaping the future of ventilation and sustainable construction.
