Course Description: AEC Daily: Using HPDs, EPDs, and LCAs in Design

This course explores the impact of construction materials and manufacturer transparency on health and environmental sustainability. It emphasizes the architect’s role in influencing these outcomes through product specification. Health product declarations (HPDs), environmental product declarations (EPDs), and life-cycle assessments (LCAs) are examined for their contributions to informed decision-making and alignment with green building frameworks such as the LEED® v5 Building Design and Construction and Interior Design and Construction rating systems and the WELL™ Building Standard v2. A prefabricated fireproofing product serves as a real-world case study in documentation.

Describe HPDs, EPDs, and LCAs and explain how they relate to environmental performance and occupant health and safety.
Differentiate between HPDs, EPDs, and LCAs, including their purpose, content, and where they are typically accessed during the design and specification process.
Explain the value of material transparency in supporting informed decision-making by architects and its role in promoting occupant well-being and sustainable design outcomes.
Evaluate documentation developed for a prefabricated fireproofing product and its contribution toward green building certification goals.
