Prefabrication offers a reliable pathway to improve enclosure performance by increasing quality, consistency, and integration of key building science principles
Over the next five years, prefabricated building systems are expected to grow from a $91.25B market to $130B worldwide. While this substantial growth is often attributed to prefabrication schedule and quality advantages, it is also driven by its ability to deliver meaningful sustainability benefits.

December 1, 2025
The Brick Industry Association (BIA) announces a new Industry Average Environmental Product Declaration (IA EPD) for clay masonry products including clay brick, structural clay tile, thin brick and clay brick pavers.
This presentation will explain what an EPD is, how it is developed using product category rules, and how it shows environmental impacts of typical construction products. We will then look at how various industries develop EPDs, what different types of EPDs are available, and how these can be used in the life cycle assessment of a building project.
