Environmental Product Declarations
Among the major HVAC suppliers in Europe, Swegon is at the forefront of disclosing environmental impacts of its products in the most robust and transparent way.
By delivering Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) based on Swegon specific lifecycle assessments (LCA), we can differentiate and specify environmental impacts in comparison to alternative products or generic data.
More about our EPDs
All Swegon EPDs are published on EPD International and are verified by Bureau Veritas, an accredited third party. Our EPDs have annual accredited third party surveillances to ensure credibility of the EPD.
Swegon has currently EPDs on room unit products, residential products as well as air handing units. Please find the EPDs and more information within each product range below.
Customer benefits
EPDs are credible reference points for comparisons between the environmental impacts of alternative products of the same product category rule (PCR).
Property owners, developers, architects, and contractors use EPDs as guidance when making decisions for green building projects. Depending on the type of EPD and type of building certification, it is possible to score additional points within major green building certifications like BREEAM, LEED and DGNB.
Using EPDs makes it easier to choose products based on reliable environmental impact data. Learn more in our experts' two blog posts below, or in the Eurovent board interview.

Current coverage and scope
We currently cover multiple products and product families like sound attenuators, comfort modules, ceiling diffusers, commissioning boxes within our room unit product range.
For these product types, the most relevant life cycle modules such as production, construction and end-of-life stages are included.
Environmental impacts stated by the EPDs reflect the conditions within Sweden, Norway, Finland. The application in other countries impact the environmental impacts mainly through different transport and end-of-life scenarios.
Customer benefits
EPDs are credible reference points for comparisons between the environmental impacts of alternative products.
Our customers such as property owners, developers, architects, or contractors receive reliable EPD documentation in order to score additional points within major green building certifications like BREEAM, LEED, DGNB.
Given this data, the choice of ventilation products takes on a new level of importance. Learn more context in our blog article about “How HVAC suppliers can benefit from conducting lifecycle assessments”.
Outlook
These new insights gained from LCA enable our product development and R&D departments to improve decision-making when choosing materials, energy sources and production processes.
Disclosing environmental performance of initially four major room unit products is only the beginning for Swegon.
