Sustainability as a Standard: NEVA Products with EPD Certification for Modern Construction

In today’s construction industry, environmental responsibility is no longer just a choice; it is a key quality parameter. Our company, ŽALUZIE NEVA s.r.o., has long focused on transparency and minimizing the environmental impact of our production. The key tool for an objective assessment of these impacts is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which provides comprehensive data on the ecological balance of our solar shading systems.

An EPD is a standardized document based on international norms that maps the entire life cycle of a product — from raw material extraction and production energy intensity to recycling. Through collaboration with independent auditors, our partners among architects and planners receive verified data that makes sustainability a measurable and comparable variable.

Key Benefits for Certified Buildings 

The implementation of shading technology with a documented EPD is essential for achieving high ratings in international certification systems: 

  • LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) 
  • BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) 
  • DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen) 

Transparency for Demanding Projects  

Requirements for sustainable buildings are constantly increasing, and EPD certification is becoming a standard part of procurement processes. In such an environment, solutions that can clearly demonstrate their sustainability gain a competitive edge. ŽALUZIE NEVA offers products that meet current demands for sustainable buildings while contributing to the long-term value and future of projects.
