EPDs As A Design Tool

Documented Sustainability from the Ground Up

In contemporary architecture, beauty and responsibility must go hand in hand. With the growing demand for transparency and accountability in sustainable building, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have become an essential tool, and at Hørning, we are ready to make that process easier.

Knowledge-Based Design

Our EPDs provide architects and developers with a clear, verified foundation for making informed, sustainable choices. Every document gathers all the necessary data - from sourcing and processing to energy use and CO₂ emissions - in one accessible format.

This means that when you specify a Hørning floor, you can trace its environmental footprint from raw material to finished surface. You’ll know exactly where the wood came from, how it was processed, and how it contributes to the overall environmental profile of your building.

A Practical Tool for a Changing Industry

Sustainability is no longer an ambition; it’s a requirement. Future building regulations will increasingly demand traceable environmental data, and our EPDs ensure you are already one step ahead.

They enable strategic climate work directly within the design phase, helping architects and engineers integrate measurable sustainability into every decision.

Why EPDs Matter

• Make informed decisions: choose materials based on verified data, not assumptions.
• Meet certification goals: EPDs support compliance with DGNB, BREEAM and LEED standards.
• Show measurable results: demonstrate how material choices affect a project’s CO₂ balance.
• Design responsibly: proving that aesthetics and accountability can coexist beautifully.

Design with Confidence

We believe that beautiful architecture and sustainable architecture are two sides of the same story. With our EPDs in hand, you have the freedom to design with clarity, confidence and conscience, creating spaces that are both enduring and environmentally sound.
