To support buyers, specifiers, design firms and project owners in meeting their sustainability goals and demonstrate environmental leadership, Schneider Electric has published environmental product declaration (EPD) data through its own website as well as on the One Click LCA (OCL) platform. Leveraging on EPD data for over 100,000 Schneider Electric products, users are empowered to make data-driven sustainable design choices and lifecycle assessments through the OCL platform.
According to CIBSE research, MEP products contribute 15% to 50% of embodied carbon in commercial buildings and up to 50% of embodied carbon in retrofits over the building's lifetime. Therefore, choosing electrical products with lower levels of embodied carbon can have a significant impact on the whole-building carbon performance.
Moreover, growing regulatory pressure for disclosures of embodied carbon, ESG reporting compliance and carbon reduction pathways increasingly require accurate and reliable environmental data for the built environment. Sustainability certifications like LEED and BREEAM also reward the inclusion and use of product environmental data with additional credits and points in their assessments.
