Sustainable Design
Materials Transparency
Using HPDs and EPDs to Design Healthier Buildings
Through material transparency, NanaWall empowers architects and builders to make informed choices that support health and minimize environmental impact. Every NanaWall product meets HPD (Health Product Declaration) requirements, and select systems also meet EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) standards. These documents support LEED, WELL, Passive House, and other green building certifications.
Health Product Declaration
An HPD is a standardized report that discloses the contents of building products and associated health hazards. It provides transparency about what’s inside the product, helping architects and designers make informed choices for healthier spaces.
Environmental Product Declaration
An EPD is a third-party verified document that details the environmental impact of a product throughout its lifecycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. It uses Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data to quantify sustainability performance.
Support Healthy Building Standards
HPDs and EPDs empower architects to design healthier, more sustainable spaces while meeting LEED, WELL, and Passive House certification goals. They simplify compliance and build trust through transparent material data.
Our systems are manufactured in the United States and Germany. Where applicable, we have HPDs for both locations. Need help finding the right solution? Visit our Product Finder to compare systems and see which model meets the needs of your project.

A Health Product Declaration (HPD) provides standardized disclosure of a building product’s contents and associated health hazards, helping architects and designers evaluate material health. An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a third-party verified document based on Life Cycle Assessment data that reports a product’s environmental impact throughout its lifecycle, from raw material extraction through disposal.
Yes. Every NanaWall product meets HPD requirements, providing architects, builders, and project teams with greater transparency into product materials. Select NanaWall systems also have Environmental Product Declarations for additional lifecycle-based environmental performance information.
HPDs and EPDs provide transparent material and environmental data that can support projects pursuing LEED, WELL, Passive House, and other green building certifications. This documentation helps project teams make more informed material selections while addressing health and sustainability objectives.
NanaWall systems currently listed with both HPD and EPD documentation include cero, NW Aluminum 640, NW Acoustical 645, NW Reinforced 647, NW Aluminum 840, NW Reinforced 847, and NW MultiSlide 630. Other listed NanaWall systems have HPD documentation available even when an EPD is not currently identified for that product.
NanaWall systems are manufactured in California, USA, and Germany, and where applicable, HPDs are available for both manufacturing locations. Architects and specifiers should reference the declaration associated with the applicable system and manufacturing location when preparing project documentation.
Yes. NanaWall offers on-demand continuing education courses approved by the AIA and IDCEC, including programs addressing resilient design and the use of opening glass walls in hospitality and residential environments. These courses provide architects and design professionals with additional resources for incorporating opening glass walls into performance- and sustainability-focused projects.
