What AWIP just published
Here is the headline many specifiers were waiting for. As of today, we see hundreds of current, product‑specific EPDs for All Weather Insulated Panels, released in December 2025, spanning insulated metal wall panels, insulated metal roof panels, and the OneDek roof‑deck line. The set is plant and thickness specific across Vacaville CA, Little Rock AR, and East Stroudsburg PA, which mirrors how projects are actually bought and installed. In short, this is a portfolio launch rather than a single SKU cameo.
Where these EPDs fit on specs
The declarations cover common thicknesses and gauges for wall and roof assemblies that show up in distribution centers, cold storage, manufacturing, and modern commercial shells. For LEED v5 pursuits, each product‑specific, externally verified Type III EPD counts more than an industry‑wide or generic declaration, which helps teams hit the 20‑product target in Option 1 with less scramble (USGBC Credit Library, 2024).
Who verified and who built the LCAs
Program operator: SCS Global Services, a well known verifier and EPD program that many North American project teams already recognize (SCS Global Services, 2025). LCA and EPD development support: WAP Sustainability. The PCR referenced is Part B for Insulated Metal Panels, Metal Composite Panels, and Metal Cladding, paired with a standard Part A. That combination keeps comparability clean against the current competitive set in metal panels.

Competitive snapshot in insulated metal panels
Kingspan remains a heavyweight with broad EPD coverage for insulated panels in multiple regions and programs, so parity here matters. For a deeper read on their footprint, see our overview of Kingspan’s portfolio and EPD coverage (Kingspan in brief, 2025).
Metl‑Span shows dozens of current, product‑specific EPDs for wall and roof panels through SCS in the United States, so AWIP’s portfolio play now meets that expectation head‑on.
Centria has a smaller but visible set of current IMP EPDs, also through SCS, which keeps them competitive on spec packages that ask for verified product data across the envelope.
Norbec’s EPDs show as expired today in the main directories, which quietly hands AWIP an edge in bids that require current, product‑specific declarations.
Make the win visible
We found AWIP’s EPDs live on their website, including a roof panel EPD page and OneDek documentation that specifiers can point to in submittals. Useful starting points include the Roof Panel EPD page and a OneDek membrane EPD PDF for quick download (Roof Panel EPD, OneDek EPD PDF). If any newer plant or thickness variants are missing from the site’s resource hub, add them promptly so field teams do not go hunting. Website visiblity is half the battle.
Why this debut matters now
Insulated metal panels often decide schedules and envelopes, yet bids can stall when the product list lacks product‑specific EPDs. AWIP’s December 2025 wave removes that hurdle and lines the portfolio up with how owners, GCs, and designers now document embodied carbon. If your team sells walls, roofs, and roof deck together, having matching EPDs across those families keeps the package simple and defensible.
A quick timing note on directories
These declarations landed in December 2025 and today is May 20, 2026. There is often a delay of weeks to months between program‑operator issuance and the big directories that specifiers search most. That delay can cost momentum. If future releases need to appear in public directories within a day or two, reach out to the author for the playbook we use with manufacturers.
The takeaway
AWIP has entered the transparency arena with a full kit: wall, roof, and roof‑deck EPDs that mirror how projects buy insulated metal panels. The move creates parity with established players where they already publish deeply, and it opens doors where rivals still lack current declarations. Keep every new variant visible on your site, reference the SCS‑verified PDFs in submittals, and treat EPD upkeep like a product launch calendar rather than a side task. That is how this debut turns into durable spec wins.
