Specifying Sustainable Water Filtration
White Papers | 28-11-25
Sustainability is reshaping the way architects specify products, demanding clear evidence of environmental performance and compliance. Tools such as Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Environmental Product Declaration (EPDs) provide transparency by quantifying lifecycle impacts, while frameworks like Green Star translate this data into measurable project outcomes. Yet, water filtration systems, despite their everyday presence, are often overlooked in sustainability strategies.
Specifying Sustainable Water Filtration: Understanding LCAs, EPDs and Green Star Certification
explains what EPDs and LCAs are, outlining their relationship and key differences.
