Thus, a more widespread use of EPD must be regarded as the most practicable way toward a sensitive choice of materials at the working plan and construction stages, otherwise designers have no access to the necessary information for whatever environmental evaluation. However, a ‘sustainability’ perspective on
materials’ selection (according to the LCA principles recalled in ISO 14025), although fundamental, is only partial for the achievement of the ‘Green Buildings’ target, as the aspects of environmental impact and contribution to indoor air quality should be always jointly considered.
