Sustainability services for HVACR manufacturers

Mar 12, 2026

Eurovent Certification's new Sustainability Department has been launched to help harmonise environmental data and support manufacturers in producing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) for HVACR products.

Market pressure

As sustainability expectations rise across the built environment, HVACR manufacturers are facing increasing pressure to provide transparent, credible environmental data for their products. From green procurement requirements to evolving European policies, environmental reporting is quickly becoming a business necessity. Yet many manufacturers face a fragmented landscape, where methodologies, datasets, and programme rules can vary across countries and even within the same sector, making environmental data hard to compare and hard to trust.

Dedicated services

To support the industry, Eurovent Certification now offers dedicated sustainability services designed specifically for HVACR manufacturers. These services simplify complex environmental assessments while ensuring alignment with recognised European standards and market expectations. Through expert support in Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), manufacturers gain clear, structured sustainability insights while preparing their product data for today’s requirements and tomorrow’s digital frameworks.

Our objective

Our goal is simple: help the HVACR industry move from scattered sustainability claims to clear, reliable and comparable product sustainability information, built on robust methods, strong documentation, and a structured approach that stands up to scrutiny. Beyond our first services on EPD and LCA, we are actively working towards greater harmonisation across sustainability practices, supporting new sustainability strategies, looking for more automation in data handling and report generation, and stronger standardisation for HVACR‑specific sustainability datasets, all with one objective: making product sustainability more valuable, simpler and more scalable for manufacturers. We welcome any initiatives and look for support on this matter.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) made simple

One-stop-shop Environmental Product Declarations for HVACR manufacturers.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are becoming a market and regulatory requirement for HVACR products driven by customers expectations, green procurement, EPBD, ESPR and Digital Product Passports.

However, the EPD landscape can be complex. Different programme operators, standards, datasets and methodologies can make the process fragmented and time-consuming for manufacturers.

Eurovent Certification provides a single, trusted entry point to simplify the process. Acting as a one-stop-shop, the organisation supports manufacturers throughout the entire EPD journey - from initial data collection to final publication.

Our one-stop-shop EPD service

We support manufacturers end-to-end, acting as your single technical interface throughout the EPD journey from first data point to publication.

What we do

  • Data scoping and guidance
  • LCA modelling and EPD drafting (EN 15804 / ISO 14025 / EN 50693 where applicable and Eurovent recommendations)
  • Programme Operator selection support
  • Verification coordination and support
  • Registration and publication support

Why Eurovent Certita Certification

  • HVACR expertise
  • Independence by design
  • Structured approach
  • Guidance and support all along the process

By managing the full workflow, Eurovent Certification helps manufacturers reduce complexity while ensuring high-quality, programme operator compliant EPDs.

Built on consistency and market alignment

One of the main challenges in the current EPD landscape is comparability. Different methodologies and assumptions can make it difficult for stakeholders to compare environmental performance between products.

Eurovent Certification addresses this by structuring EPDs in line with recognised European frameworks and industry practices. The approach also aligns with recommendations from the Eurovent Association to support greater consistency across the HVACR sector.

The goal is to help manufacturers produce EPDs that are clear, comparable and reusable, supporting both internal sustainability strategies and external market requirements.

Consistency

We work in line with widely recognised European practices and frameworks

Alignment

We provide alignment with Eurovent Association recommendations

Scalability

We help manufacturers produce EPDs that are comparable and reusable

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Turning data into better product decisions

Life Cycle Assessment for HVACR manufacturers with clear insights and comparable results.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) turns operational data into a decision making tool. It helps manufacturers see where impacts really come from, test improvement options, and build credible evidence for product and portfolio choices.

Through structured lifecycle modelling, manufacturers can:

  • +Identify environmental hotspots across the full product lifecycle
  • +Compare design, sourcing or technology scenarios before committing resources
  • +Build a reliable baseline to support EPDs and broader sustainability strategies

LCA service

Eurovent Certification provides structured lifecycle studies for cases where the priority is decision making and deeper insight (Ecodesign, portfolio baselines, sourcing choices), not necessarily publishing an EPD.

We act as your single technical interface from scoping to results interpretation.

What we do

  • PEF ready LCA studies (single or multiproduct / plant) aligned with the European Commission PEF methodology and applicable PEFCRs, using EF compatible datasets and data quality checks
  • Advanced LCA models to support ecodesign, portfolio decisions, and sustainability roadmaps
  • Scenario & sensitivity analysis to test assumptions and improvement options
  • “EPD ↔ PEF” bridge work to avoid duplicate modelling when stakeholders ask for PEF numbers instead of an EPD

What LCA unlocks

  • Environmental Hotspot identification across the full lifecycle
  • Comparison of design, sourcing and technology scenarios
  • Robust baselines to support EPDs, PEF work and broader sustainability strategy
  • Reusable lifecycle models

Built for consistency and market alignment

Our approach is designed to support comparability and reusability of lifecycle results — across internal decisions and external frameworks.

Alignment

We work in line with recognised European methodologies and frameworks

Compatibility

We structure studies so results can feed into EPDs, PEF and future digital requirements

Futureproofing

We help manufacturers build lifecycle models that remain reusable
