Carrier has announced the launch of its first Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for residential HVAC systems in North America, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and transparency. The EPD covers the Comfort Fan Coil and Performance Variable-Speed Compact Heat Pump, providing detailed environmental impact data, including carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and resource usage.
This independent declaration follows ISO 14025 standards and is based on life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, ensuring credibility and consistency in environmental performance evaluation. Carrier's initiative aligns with its broader sustainability strategy, which includes a $4 billion investment in intelligent climate and energy solutions aimed at reducing environmental impact and helping customers avoid more than one gigaton of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
Carrier was recently recognized as a 2024 Eco-Leader by Green Builder Media for its commitment to sustainability transparency, including the publication of 48 EPDs for HVAC products worldwide. By providing detailed environmental impact information, Carrier empowers consumers, contractors, and building professionals to make more sustainable choices.
The EPD for Carrier’s residential HVAC products is now available for download. For more information, visit carrier.com or follow @Carrier on X.
