Congrats REC Indovent on your first EPDs

What launched in July 2025

REC Indovent published its first wave of product‑specific Environmental Product Declarations in July 2025, with additional records following later in the year. We count 12 current EPDs that cover flexible ventilation connections and ducts (DRASUT, COMPACT), condensation‑insulated variants (KONDENS DRASUT 25 mm and 50 mm), acoustic connectors and silencers (AKUCOMP 25 mm, 50 mm, and Special), plus wrapped insulation sleeves used on ducts. All are verified and listed with the program operator EPD Hub.

The documents read as product‑family scopes rather than one‑off SKUs, which is what spec teams want when diameters and casing options vary by room or unit.

Why it matters for specs

Ventilation components are small on paper yet omnipresent in models. Without a product‑specific EPD, whole‑building LCA tools tend to assign a conservative factor, and that can steer choices toward competitors who have their numbers verified. A portfolio of component EPDs removes that drag and keeps conversations on performance, lead time, and price you can defend.

A quick look at who REC meets in the arena

Lindab publishes product‑specific EPDs across silencers, ducts, diffusers and plenum boxes, giving buyers a familiar baseline in Northern Europe. See their current footprint here: Lindab.

FläktGroup lists EPDs for air valves, VAV dampers and air‑handling units, which cover many of the same schedules where REC’s connectors and silencers appear.

TROX has long published EPDs for air terminal units and grilles. On flexible, insulated connection pieces specifically, we see fewer product‑specific EPDs from these larger brands, which gives REC an early flag in this subcategory as of January 2026.

What the EPDs actually cover

The first set centers on parts specifiers touch daily in technical ventilation packages.

• Flexible metal ducts and bendable connections for fans and units
• Condensation‑insulated versions for cold air runs and vapor‑tight installs
• Flexible acoustic connectors and silencers for low‑frequency noise control

It is a pragmatic mix that aligns to how contractors kit out rooftops, risers and plantrooms.

Company snapshot, context for timing

REC Indovent develops and supplies ventilation units, components, fabric ducting, flue parts and solar solutions to contractors, property owners and consultants across the Nordics. Adding product‑specific EPDs now fits market reality, where verified data is moving from nice‑to‑have to gatekeeper in many tenders. When the paperwork is simple to find and trustworthy, sales cycles shorten.

Website visibility check

We did not find the July 2025 EPDs on REC Indovent’s site yet. We did find an older partner EPD for tailor‑made fabric ducting from Prihoda hosted in their documentation area, which confirms the company is comfortable posting third‑party‑verified PDFs for download (SCS Global Services EPD for Prihoda fabric ducting, 2020). Adding the new ventilation‑component EPDs to a single, easy‑to‑scan page will help submittals land faster. Visibility wins specs.

Competitive takeaway

REC Indovent has entered the transparency arena with component‑level coverage that makes sense for real projects. Against established catalogs from Lindab, FläktGroup and TROX, this closes a gap that previously added friction in bids. In flexible connectors and condensation‑insulated runs, REC now shows verified scope where others appear lighter on product‑specific EPDs, which is a credible edge for schedule‑driven packages.

Smart next moves

Extend coverage to the adjacent pieces that ship with these parts, for example clamps, sleeves and common diameter sets. Keep a simple, dated changelog on the documentation page so specifiers see what is current at a glance. And make sure model numbers in BIM objects point directly to the EPD URLs. It is definately the small frictions removed that turn a shortlist into an order.

Bottom line for sales and technical teams

A first EPD portfolio is more than a badge. It removes assumptions in carbon accounting, keeps REC Indovent on the right side of documentation asks, and reframes value in categories where price used to dominate. That is how component brands move from being swapped late in the game to being specified early.
