Vitro Architectural Glass announced it has updated its third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) so that its architectural glass products all meet the Top 20% Low Embodied Carbon (LEC) material category based on standards set by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).
On May 16, 2023, the GSA announced new standards for products considered LEC. These standards require that products offer a Type III EPD with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) value expressed in kilograms of carbon (CO2) equivalent per metric ton.
