Congrats LAMILUX: EPD debut lights up daylighting specs

What landed, and when

LAMILUX’s first public EPD appears in June 2024 for the Modulares Glasdach MS78. September 2025 then adds the Flat Roof Access Hatch Comfort, which turns a single document into a real portfolio step. In short, daylighting from LAMILUX now comes with third‑party verified impacts that spec teams can compare without guesswork.

• Modulares Glasdach MS78, modular glass roof system, issued June 2024.
• Flat Roof Access Hatch Comfort, roof exit and daylight element, issued September 2025.

Who verified the declarations

Both documents are published under Kiwa‑Ecobility Experts as the program operator, with Kiwa listed as the LCA and EPD developer as well. The hatch EPD declares cradle to gate with options, including modules C1 to C4 and module D, which aligns with what whole‑building LCA tools actually use.

Why this matters for buyers of daylighting systems

When a rooflight or access hatch lacks an EPD, project carbon models default to conservative generics. That can nudge a product off a shortlist even if its real impacts are lower. With product‑specific EPDs in hand, LAMILUX keeps conversations focused on performance, installation and aesthetics, not penalties from placeholder data. Sales teams definately feel that difference in pre‑bid screens.

Quick read on competitors in the same lane

VELUX A/S shows broad EPD coverage across commercial rooflights, upstands and smoke ventilation units, which has set the pace in daylighting specs. See their snapshot here: VELUX: Roof windows, skylights, and EPD coverage. Kingspan Light + Air also lists multiple rooflight and smoke‑vent declarations in European registries, keeping them competitive where EN 15804 documentation is expected. Brett Martin Daylight Systems, on the other hand, shows no current program‑operator EPDs in common public listings at the time of writing, which makes comparable bidding harder.

Product scope at a glance

The MS78 modular glass roof targets larger glazed atria and corridors, where ventilation modules repeat and scale. The Flat Roof Access Hatch Comfort speaks to roof‑terrace access and premium daylight in mixed‑use and residential projects. Together they cover two high‑spec use cases that show up often in design packages.

Where to find the EPDs on LAMILUX’s site

LAMILUX has already placed the documents in product downloads, which helps submittals move faster. See the MS78 page with an Environmental Product Declaration in the downloads section here: Modulares Glasdach MS78 product page. For the hatch, a centralized downloads hub lists the Flat Roof Access Hatch Comfort EPD in German and English: Downloads Tageslichtsysteme. If more portfolio EPDs follow, centralizing them on a single sustainability or downloads page will make life even easier for specifiers.

What this signals competitively

LAMILUX has entered the transparency arena for daylighting. Relative to VELUX and Kingspan, where EPDs are already common across families, this step helps LAMILUX close comparison gaps in tenders that filter on verified data. In markets where rivals still lack current EPDs, like parts of the Brett Martin range, these filings create a practical edge in pre‑qualification.

The playbook from here

Keep the cadence. Expanding coverage to adjacent rooflight families and accessories helps prevent late‑stage submittal friction. Choose an LCA partner that takes on the lion’s share of data collection across plants and variants, since speed and completeness are what unlock more bids and fewer substitutions.

Bottom line

Two well‑placed daylighting EPDs change the commercial math. September 2025 marks the moment LAMILUX’s daylight systems stopped leaving carbon impacts to assumption and started competing on verified results.
