What just launched
IMI Hydronic Engineering AB added an Environmental Product Declaration in October 2025 for an advanced HVAC device without a pressure unit, issued by ITB. This joins two valve‑centric declarations already visible to buyers, creating a compact starter set that fits how hydronic packages are actually specified.
The first set at a glance
- Advanced HVAC device for managing without pressure unit, issued October 2025 by ITB.
- TA‑COMPACT‑P and TA Modulator pressure independent control valves, issued November 2023 by ITB. ITB is listed as the developer on this declaration.
- STAD PN25 balancing valve with variants, issued September 2023 by EPD Hub. Program operators involved are Poland’s ITB and the digital‑first EPD Hub. For readers who want operator context, see our quick primers on ITB EPD Program and EPD Hub.

Why this matters in hydronics
Hydronic balancing and control lives inside tight MEP schedules where reviewers ask for product‑specific, third‑party verified EPDs. Showing up with credible PDFs removes the hidden penalty that non‑EPD products face in many project LCAs and keeps IMI in shortlists when specs, price, and lead time get compared side by side.
Company context in one breath
IMI designs and manufactures valves, actuators, pressurization and water‑quality solutions for HVAC systems across commercial buildings and complex campuses. That footprint means a verified EPD for a balancing or PICV family is not paperwork. It is a ticket into more bids where carbon checks are table stakes.
Competitive picture right now
Uponor appears in EC3 with broad hydronic distribution and radiant entries and dozens of current EPDs, which signals mature coverage across European and export catalogs. Danfoss shows a smaller set oriented to drives and heating cables, so less directly overlapping with balancing valves. Victaulic lists current EPDs for couplings and fittings that sit adjacent to IMI’s pipework. Against that backdrop, IMI’s debut closes a real gap and gives specs teams fewer reasons to swap to a rival late in review.
Timing note specifiers care about
These EPDs include an issue in October 2025. Today is March 29, 2026, so it bears calling out that there is often a lag of weeks to months between program‑operator publication and appearing in the design tools people actually search. Reducing that lag is free margin in specs. If the team wants playbooks to get new EPDs visible within a day or two next time, reach out to the author. We’ll happily share what definatly works.
Can buyers find the EPDs on IMI’s site
Yes. IMI hosts an EPD landing page that explains availability and links to product documentation, plus direct PDFs for key families such as the STAD PN25 balancing valve and TA‑COMPACT‑P and TA Modulator. Start here: IMI EPD landing page. Direct documents: STAD PN25 balancing valve EPD and TA‑COMPACT‑P and TA Modulator EPD. Keeping that hub current helps submittals fly through without back‑and‑forth.
The takeaway
IMI Hydronic Engineering AB has entered the transparency arena with three current EPDs that map to how hydronic controls are bought. The move brings IMI closer to peers with broad coverage while giving project reviewers what they need to green‑light submittals quickly. Momentum now means expanding to more valve sizes and control families so every high‑runner SKU has a citable, easy‑to‑find EPD.
