What Is An EPD and Why Is It Important?
At Intectural, we're proud to partner with manufacturers who share our commitment to sustainable, high-performance building materials.
That’s why we’re excited to share that Arbor Wood Co. has officially completed their Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) — a major milestone in transparency, accountability, and innovation in the wood products industry.
View EPD
An EPD is essentially a "nutrition label" for building materials — a third-party verified document that outlines a product’s environmental impact across its entire lifecycle, from raw material sourcing to production and beyond.
What does this mean for architects, designers, and builders?
Support for Green Building Certifications: Arbor Wood’s thermally modified wood products now come with verified documentation to support LEED, WELL, and Living Building Challenge (LBC) projects.
Informed Material Choices: Clear, quantifiable data helps building professionals confidently specify Arbor Wood for sustainable, low-impact projects.
Carbon Conscious Building: Arbor Wood products are naturally carbon-sequestering, and their thermal modification process enhances durability without harsh chemicals—making them an ideal choice for carbon-conscious design.
At Intectural, our mission is to bring forward-thinking, sustainable materials to the market—and Arbor Wood’s EPD is another step forward in providing the transparency our industry needs to build a better future.
Congratulations to the Arbor Wood team—and here’s to driving positive change together!
