QCfaçades Publishes EPDs for QCglass and QChoneycomb Rainscreen Panel Systems

QCfaçades has announced the publication of Environmental Product Declarations for its QCglass and QChoneycomb rainscreen panel systems. The QChoneycomb EPD and QCglass EPD provide impact data for façade attachment components as well as the panels. Both QCfaçades EPDs also cover the entire system life cycle, from raw-material supply and manufacturing through transportation, installation, and end of life, enabling more meaningful material evaluations and whole-building life cycle assessments.

The EPDs were developed following detailed LCA studies conducted by sustainability consultancy Tunley Environmental in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804 requirements. They underwent independent third-party verification by ViridisPride and are published by the International EPD System.

What people are saying

“Sustainability is part of the holistic engineering approach we take to solve complex façade challenges and deliver resilient systems,” says Jason Summers, QCfaçades founder. “Our EPDs provide transparent environmental data for architects, engineers, and façade consultants to consider alongside things like performance and design.”

“Architects increasingly look beyond individual sustainability claims and ask for credible data that allows them to understand the environmental impacts of the products they specify,” says Dr. William Beer, CEO of Tunley Environmental. “These EPDs extend that mission by giving architects verified life-cycle data for façade systems where performance, durability and design intent must all be considered.”
