What dropped in May
Two product‑specific EPDs are live. One covers the P450x and P650x Storefront family, signaling a scope broader than a single SKU. The second covers the P3015x Unitized Curtain Wall, a factory‑assembled curtain wall platform. Both appear as system‑level declarations suited to commercial envelopes. The public listing does not yet display the program operator or the LCA developer, which is fine to start but worth clarifying on the PDF and registry soon.
Why this matters in specs
Curtain wall EPDs remain a focused club, which means each new entry shifts the playing field. As of early 2026, the US snapshot shows 17 current curtain wall EPDs from 9 manufacturers across four operators, a small but active pool (EPD Guide, 2026). Getting into that pool means fewer headaches with conservative defaults in project carbon models and less risk of being swapped out late.
Where this places them among peers
- EFCO Corporation shows current storefront and curtain wall EPDs through ASTM International, often developed with Four Elements Consulting. That is full coverage across Silicon Consultant’s two categories.
- YKK AP America lists current storefront and curtain wall EPDs through UL with Sphera noted on several items. Also full coverage.
- Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope highlights storefront EPDs under UL. A curtain wall system EPD is not visible in the main public registries that specifiers lean on as of January 2026, which leaves a gap Silicon Consultant can press on for unitized packages (EPD Guide, 2026).
Net take: Silicon Consultant has entered the transparency arena at system level. They are catching up to incumbents that already list across both storefront and curtain wall, while gaining an edge against brands that still lack a curtain wall declaration in public view.

Category clarity for teams
If you are mapping these to Division 08, the storefront EPD lines up with 08 43 00 Storefronts and the unitized system aligns with 08 44 00 Curtain Wall and Glazed Assemblies. That makes comparison work far easier for submittals and for internal product line planning.
Company snapshot, in brief
Silicon Consultant LLC focuses on building‑envelope solutions for commercial projects, now documented with product‑specific EPDs for a storefront family and a unitized curtain wall. That scope points squarely at mid‑rise and high‑rise applications where verified data is quickly moving from nice‑to‑have to table stakes.
Website visibility check
We looked for EPDs on siliconconsultant.com and did not find a sustainability or EPD page at the time of writing. Posting the PDF links and a short “How to specify” note on a dedicated page will increase discoverability with architects and GCs who skim first and bookmark later. That visibilty lift is usually the fastest win after publishing.
Smart next steps
- Add window wall and entrances to the disclosure roadmap so Division 08 coverage reads as a coherent suite.
- Confirm and publish the program operator and LCA developer on each PDF plus the website. It builds confidence with reviewers who audit details.
- Prep a one‑pager that pairs the EPDs with typical system configurations and thermal options. Make it easy to drop into a submittal set.
Bottom line
First‑ever EPDs for a storefront family and a unitized curtain wall, issued in May 2026, is the right move at the right time. It puts Silicon Consultant into the conversations where verified numbers decide shortlists. Keep the cadence up, close the small gaps on public documentation, and this debut will pay back quickly. Nicely done, and definately one to watch.
