Carrier, a part of Carrier Global Corporation, has recently launched its first Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for residential HVAC solutions in North America. This milestone reinforces the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and transparency in the environmental performance of its products.
The EPD, based on rigorous Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, provides a comprehensive overview of the environmental impacts associated with the production, use, and disposal of Carrier’s Comfort Fan Coil and Performance Variable-Speed Compact Heat Pump. This independent declaration includes key metrics such as carbon dioxide performance, energy consumption, and natural resource usage, all of which are vital factors influencing the overall environmental footprint of the residential HVAC industry.
Commenting on the development, Hakan Yilmaz, SVP, Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer, Carrier, said, “Publishing our first residential EPD in North America represents a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Transparency is key to empowering homeowners, contractors, and building professionals to make informed choices about the products they install. This EPD not only reflects our dedication to sustainable practices, but it also provides clear, credible data to support green building initiatives.”
This initiative aligns with Carrier’s broader strategy to invest $4 billion in the innovation and development of intelligent climate and energy solutions that reduce environmental impacts and help customers avoid more than 1 gigaton of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
