Bravo, Yitac: first EPD enters the spec arena

What launched in January 2026

Yitac published its first ever Environmental Product Declaration in January 2026. The declaration covers the Passive Displacement Ventilation System, a wall coil based system that supplies cooled air into the occupied zone while warmer air rises back to the coil for return. It reads like a system level entry rather than a one off model, which is exactly what spec teams need when portfolios evolve.

The essentials, straight from the record

This debut set contains one product specific EPD for the Passive Displacement Ventilation System. The program operator is EPD Hub. The LCA and EPD development is credited to climate asia pte ltd. The underlying rule set notes EPD Hub Core Product Category Rules as the reference. Clean, credible, ready for submittals.

Why this matters for Yitac’s buyers

Yitac is a Singapore based engineering firm that brings building efficiency tech into commercial, residential, and industrial projects, with the Twenty80 PDV as a flagship offer. Teams choosing comfort systems for offices, schools, and mixed use spaces can now compare this solution with product specific values instead of generic factors that often inflate carbon scores.

Competitive lens, quick and fair

Two well known ventilation players already operate with broad EPD libraries. TROX shows dozens of current declarations across air terminal units, grilles, silencers, and selected air handling units. Systemair lists double digit current declarations that span fans, air handling units, and flow measurement devices. Halton posts current declarations for chilled beams and specialty kitchen ventilation. In short, Yitac has entered a field where leading lines are already documented, and this first PDV EPD closes a key gap for displacement cooling conversations.

What spec scope this unlocks

Displacement strategies compete with diffusers, beams, or packaged air handlers depending on room loads. With a product specific EPD in hand, PDV can remain in play when owners or design teams prefer verified impacts. That keeps the conversation focused on comfort, energy, and lifecycle outcomes rather than default penalties for missing declarations. It also helps distributors and reps avoid last minute swaps when materials credits are scored under LEED v5 pathways.

Program operator and partner

Publishing through EPD Hub signals a digital first path for verification. The LCA work credited to climate asia pte ltd points to regional expertise, which often speeds data collection across suppliers and utilities. That pairing should make future additions easier if Yitac chooses to expand coverage to variants or related components.

Where to find it

As of February 6, 2026 we could not locate the EPD PDF on Yitac’s public site. The PDV product pages describe the concept, yet a direct EPD download link was not visible, so visibliity can improve with a simple documents section. Posting the declaration on the product page and in a central library helps estimators and spec writers move fast when deadlines bite.

The takeaway

Yitac is now in the transparency arena with a clear opening bid. One EPD for the Passive Displacement Ventilation System gives buyers a credible option in early design and in late stage value engineering. Competitors like TROX, Systemair, and Halton already show wide coverage, so the next logical move is a roadmap that extends EPDs across adjacent components. Keep the cadence steady, keep the data tidy, and let the spec momentum build.
