By allowing abundant natural light into homes, offices and vehicles, glass products can help contribute to occupants’ well-being.
Guardian EPDs
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a verified and registered document that communicates transparent information about the life-cycle environmental impact of a product.
Guardian EPDs are developed specific to the region where the glass is manufactured. By publishing EPDs, Guardian supports architects and designers who strive to understand the environmental impact of the buildings they design through the products they specify. The goal is to provide them with the information needed to calculate their buildings whole life carbon (WLC) emissions and achieve credits in global building rating systems, such as LEED® and BREEAM®.
Four EPDs are available from Guardian Glass Asia Pacific. For certifications and declarations for Guardian Glass products manufactured in North America, Europe, Latin America and AMEI (Africa, Middle East, India) regions, please refer to that region’s webpage.
