Congrats, Caice Acoustic Air Movement: first EPDs published

What launched and when

Caice’s debut EPD covers the Horizontal Chassis Fan Coil Unit, verified and published with EPD Hub in March 2025. The document reads as a family declaration across common FCU variants. Validity extends to March 2030, and the PDF is already posted on the company site for quick submittals (Caice FCU EPD, 2025). Later in October 2025, a galvanised steel rectangular attenuator joined the set under the same operator.

Why this matters for specs and bids

In many projects, choosing a product without a product‑specific EPD triggers conservative default impacts in carbon accounting. That can quietly push a swap toward a rival that has one. With FCUs and attenuators now documented, Caice reduces that friction and gives design teams a clean handoff into models and submittal packages.

A quick look at Caice’s lane

Caice designs and manufactures HVAC noise control and air movement hardware for commercial buildings, education, and data centers. Think duct attenuators, acoustic louvres, enclosures, and high‑efficiency FCUs that aim for low sound and practical service access. EPDs fit this story because quiet performance and verified impacts often sit on the same decision matrix for specifiers.

Competitive snapshot

For duct silencers and other ventilation components, established players like Lindab and TROX already show broad EPD coverage across multiple families. That means Caice is catching up where it sells every day, which keeps parity in tenders that screen on documentation. On FCUs, several global brands publish product‑specific fan coil EPDs through the PEP association, so Caice’s FCU EPD puts it on equivalent footing in that category too.

Program operator choice

Both releases sit with EPD Hub, a program operator aligned to EN 15804 and ISO 14025. For teams comparing operator routes, here is a plain‑English explainer of how EPD Hub fits into the market and ECO Portal visibility. See our overview of EPD Hub for context.

Scope notes worth knowing

The FCU declaration reads as a product family rather than a single SKU, which is useful when project variants shift late. The attenuator record covers rectangular silencer construction typical in ducted systems. If your bid hinges on one exact size or liner spec, check the declared ranges before you lock copy into the submittal. That tiny check can save a rework loop.

Visibility check on Caice’s site

Good news. The FCU EPD is linked directly from the Fan Coil Units page, which makes downloads painless during submittals. We did not find the rectangular attenuator EPD in the same way on the public site at the time of writing. Adding it, ideally with an easy‑to‑scan “EPDs and Certifications” hub, will make discovery faster for distributors and GCs. It is a small web task that pays back daily, definately.

Timing note spec teams will care about

Caice’s first EPD landed in March 2025. Today is February 9, 2026. There is often a lag of weeks to months between publication with the operator and discovery in the global directories teams use. Tighten that gap next time so buyers can find new EPDs within a day or two. If you want details on how to streamline that release choreography for future declarations, reach out to the author.

What this debut signals next

Treat these two as a beachhead. Extending coverage to adjacent attenuator sizes, a second FCU family, and prominent acoustic louvre SKUs will multiply commercial reach without multiplying effort. The playbook is simple. Keep data intake clean, reuse verified methods, publish on a predictable cadence, and surface the PDFs where specifiers already look.
