Need Pre-EPD or EPD Support? We’ve Got You Covered.
We help small manufacturers of bio-based and low carbon construction materials measure and prove their environmental performance, without the high fees or long timelines of typical LCA consultants.
- Get to pre-EPD stage fast when you need GHG savings data for a funding application.
- Full EPD development when you’re ready to publish.
- Priced for small manufacturers, not big industry budgets.
Straightforward Pre-EPD and EPD Support.
Most LCA and EPD consultants are built for big industry budgets. We’re not. We work with small manufacturers, and we price and pace our services accordingly.
- Pre-EPD screening gives you real GHG savings numbers, fast, when a funding application is on the clock.
- Full EPD development takes you the rest of the way when you’re ready to publish.
- We work exclusively with bio-based and low carbon materials, so you’re not explaining your product from scratch.
Straightforward from day one
Clear scope, clear price, clear timeline, as always. No surprise invoices halfway through.
Priced for small manufacturers
No enterprise consulting fees, no bloated timelines. We provide clear GHG numbers, priced for where you’re at.
We actually care about this material
Bio-based and low carbon materials aren’t a side project for us. We believe they are key to building better buildings so you’re working with people who get why your product matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are Embodied Emissions?
Embodied Emissions (also called Embodied Carbon) are the sum of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions associated with raw material extraction, manufacturing, and transportation for materials production and the emissions associated with the construction, maintenance, renovation, and end-of-life of buildings and infrastructure. Greenhouse gas emissions are calculated relative to the impact of one molecule of carbon dioxide and reported as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) with units of mass.
Q: What is a Life Cycle Assessment?
A: A Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a methodology for assessing environmental impacts associated with all the stages of the life cycle of a product, process, or service, from the acquisition of raw materials until its end of life (“from cradle to grave”).
Q: Why are Embodied Emissions important?
Unlike operational carbon emissions, which can be reduced over time with energy efficiency upgrades and the use of renewable energy, embodied carbon emissions are locked in place as soon as a building is built. As we build more energy-efficient homes with low-carbon fuels, Embodied Emissions represent a bigger portion of the emissions pie (up to 90% for an electrically heated Step 5 home!) and become an increasingly pressing issue.
