Titus HVAC: products and EPD coverage snapshot
Titus is a fixture in commercial air distribution. Architects and owners now ask for product‑specific transparency more often, including Environmental Product Declarations. Here is where Titus stands today, what they sell, and where EPDs could unlock more specs without slowing the sales cycle.
Who Titus HVAC is
Titus is a long‑running air distribution brand headquartered in Plano, Texas, focused on comfort, acoustics, and airflow control for non‑residential buildings. Their site highlights decades of lab‑driven product development and a national manufacturing footprint.
What they make
Titus covers the “last mile” of HVAC. Core lines include ceiling and slot diffusers, grilles and registers, VAV terminal units, displacement ventilation, underfloor air distribution, and chilled beams. In healthcare, they also market a configurable operating room air distribution suite. This is a broad portfolio that shows up across offices, education, healthcare, and public buildings.
How big is the catalog
The offering spans dozens of product families and likely hundreds of individual SKUs when sizes, materials, and options are considered. It reads like a system toolkit for almost any air distribution layout.
Their published sustainability signals
Titus maintains a Green Buildings and LEED resources section explaining how air distribution supports energy and indoor air quality outcomes. It does not present product‑specific EPDs or a searchable EPD library today. See their LEED resources and policy notes here for context: Titus Green Buildings.
EPD coverage today
As of December 2025, we could not locate Titus product‑specific EPDs on their website or in major public EPD program libraries. If they exist under a different corporate entity, they are not easy for specifers to find. That discoverability gap matters during fast‑moving bid cycles.
Why this matters commercially
Many project teams assign conservative embodied‑carbon assumptions to products without product‑specific EPDs. That can make otherwise competitive HVAC components harder to carry in designs that track carbon targets, especially under procurement policies or owner ESG playbooks. The result is simple. You defend on price instead of on proven performance and verified impact.
Competitive context
Several global rivals already publish product‑level EPDs for comparable air distribution or ventilation components. TROX reports EPD coverage for more than 50 product series, including air terminal devices and dampers (TROX, 2025) (TROX, 2025). Swegon lists third‑party verified EPDs spanning room units and air handling units across multiple markets (Swegon, 2024) (Swegon, 2024). Program operators also show current ventilation component EPDs from other manufacturers, for example a 2025 air handling unit entry on the International EPD System (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025).
Likely high‑impact starting points
A practical pilot is a product family that moves volume and sees frequent specification switches. Single‑duct VAV terminal units or mainstream ceiling diffusers fit that profile. Both align with existing ventilation component PCR pathways used by peers, so the rulebook is known and verification routes are open.
What a smart EPD plan looks like
Pick one high‑runner, map bill of materials and variant logic, then gather one clean year of utility, scrap, packaging, and transport data from the primary plant. Lock the PCR alignment early and choose the program operator that best matches target geographies. Keep variant control tight so one declaration can cover many SKUs without rework.
Notable gaps worth closing
Chilled beams and underfloor air distribution components tend to get early attention on low‑carbon projects. Transparent, product‑specific EPDs here would position Titus to defend basis‑of‑design and reduce substitution risk. If customers ask for carbon metrics and only a competitor can provide a verified number, the conversation tilts.
Bottom line for specability
Titus already competes on performance, acoustics, and breadth. Adding visible, searchable EPDs for a few cornerstone families would reduce friction for design teams and win time back for sales. The lift is finite and the payback often shows up in fewer alternates and faster approvals. Let the data collection be easy, the verification dependable, and the publication quick. That is the recipe to turn transparency into revenue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Titus publish product-specific EPDs as of December 2025?
We did not find Titus EPDs on their site or in major public EPD libraries as of December 2025. If they exist under another corporate entity, they are not easily discoverable.
Which competitors publish EPDs for similar HVAC components?
TROX reports EPDs across more than 50 product series, including air terminal devices (TROX, 2025) and Swegon lists third‑party verified EPDs covering room units and AHUs (Swegon, 2024).
What Titus product families are strong candidates for first EPDs?
Single‑duct VAV terminal units and common ceiling diffusers. They move volume, show up on many project types, and have clear PCR precedents.
