Offering transparency through LCA – we have a vast number of EPDs

We offer a comprehensive range of EPDs for a wide range of German-made building materials.  Offering transparency through LCA, specifiers are in an informed position to reduce environmental impacts by calculating embodied carbon, eliminating toxic materials, and understanding the ‘Cradle to Grave’ impact of their chosen materials.  Under the new nZEB building regulations, the carbon embodied in building materials will account for up to 50% of the total life cycle carbon emissions of the homes and buildings designed.  By 2050 we need to reduce the carbon emissions from the construction and operation of buildings to zero including materials. SMET’s online EPD Platform published by the IGBC offers this comparative ability in decision-making.

Quality, Environment, and Health are at the forefront of what we do

We recognise as a supplier of superior quality building products and services, we must ensure our operations are carried out to the highest of standards.
