Congratulations, Samoo: first EPD is live

What Samoo just published

Samoo’s first‑ever EPD covers the FIT Frame, a building‑envelope frame that relocates essential services into the façade. It reads as a product‑specific declaration rather than a broad family roll‑up, which makes it easier for design teams to compare against competing systems. The EPD sits with EPD Hub and was issued in October 2025.

EPD Hub’s rules were refreshed on March 24, 2025, which tightened alignment to EN 15804 and clarified portfolio publishing pathways (EPD Hub Rules, 2025) (EPD Hub Rules, 2025). In December 2025 the program became an Established ECO EPD Programme Operator, improving recognition and ECO Portal listing for new EN 15804 EPDs (EPD Hub Press Release, 2025) (EPD Hub Press Release, 2025).

Why it matters for Samoo’s market position

Samoo is best known for high‑tech building design and engineering, with a growing focus on modular and façade innovations. FIT Frame puts their R&D in front of buyers who now expect verified impacts at the component level. With this EPD, Samoo gives owners and GCs a clean line of sight on embodied carbon without resorting to generic proxies that can quietly penalize a bid.

The competitive lens

Façade system houses have been building EPD coverage for years. Senior Architectural publishes curtain wall and window system EPDs with the same operator Samoo chose, which means specifiers can evaluate like for like. YKK AP America and Kawneer list UL‑verified declarations across curtain wall and storefront families, so transparency is already table stakes in many bids. Schüco goes further with both system and billet‑grade aluminium profile EPDs, which can influence decisions on premium envelopes (Schüco).

The takeaway is simple. Samoo’s FIT Frame EPD closes a credibility gap and lets the product compete in the same comparison sets where these brands already show up.

What the EPD likely covers in scope

Based on the description, FIT Frame is an aluminium‑forward structural frame within the façade assembly, not a full curtain wall. That scope helps teams plug the declared unit straight into project LCAs. It also signals that future EPDs for cartridges or skins in the FIT Platform could stack nicely for whole‑system accounting.

Spec impact you can feel

On projects with carbon reporting, a product‑specific, third‑party verified EPD reduces friction at prequal and submittal. It keeps the conversation on performance and fit, not on whether a conservative default has to be used. In tight competitions, that difference is often the nudge that wins a slot on the short list.

Visibility check

As of January 15, 2026, we could not find a public EPD download on samoo.com’s news or sustainability pages. If it is live elsewhere, point to it from the FIT Platform or product page. If it is not, post it where sales and partners can grab it in two clicks. Findability is half the battle, and it’s definately worth the five minutes to add.

What to watch next

Two moves would compound the win. First, add EPDs for the complementary FIT Platform cartridges to cover more of the envelope package. Second, keep alignment with the operator’s latest rule set so renewals and sister declarations move fast when variants hit the market (EPD Hub Rules, 2025) (EPD Hub Rules, 2025).

Bottom line

Samoo’s first EPD turns FIT Frame into a spec‑ready product with verified numbers behind it. Competitors already show up with declarations, so this debut is the right play at the right time. Publish, make it easy to find, then expand coverage as the platform matures.
