Architects, specification writers and consultants can now find Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) published through MRPI on Bouwspex.nl.
Thanks to a direct connection to the MRPI database, this environmental information is automatically synchronised. This is another step in ZeeBoer’s ongoing development of Bouwspex.
Bouwspex.nl is an initiative by ZeeBoer that helps specifiers find reliable building product information. From specification services and product selection tools to manufacturer-specific product specifications (FPS) and KOMO certification information. Everything is conveniently organised by product category.
For example, an architect looking for insulation products can simply select the insulation category. Bouwspex then displays the manufacturers active in this category, along with access to the available information and tools.
The addition of EPDs makes the information available on Bouwspex even more comprehensive. Alongside technical performance and application details, specifiers can now also access environmental product data more easily.
An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) provides insight into the environmental impact of a building product throughout its life cycle. This information is becoming increasingly important when selecting materials and substantiating those choices.
ZeeBoer has connected Bouwspex directly to the database of Stichting MRPI, which publishes environmental product declarations from manufacturers. By selecting the MRPI filter within a product category, visitors can find manufacturers for which EPDs are available.
The information is automatically synchronised with the source database. This eliminates the need to collect and maintain EPD information manually. For specifiers, it provides another convenient way to access relevant environmental documentation alongside existing specification services and product information.
We have already added a large number of manufacturers from the MRPI database to Bouwspex. A few are still missing. We are currently completing these company profiles with logos and descriptions to make it easier for visitors to identify the manufacturers.
Has your company published EPDs through MRPI, but is your organisation not yet listed on Bouwspex.nl? Please contact ZeeBoer. We will be happy to make sure your company is properly represented.
With this addition, we hope to make Bouwspex even more valuable to architects, specifiers and other construction professionals. Whether they are looking for a specification, product advice, a quality certificate or environmental data, reliable building product information should above all be easy to find.
