Core Features
Ev-DEC is presented as a practical bridge between an LCA study and a publishable, verifiable Type III declaration in the French construction context where formats and programme rules matter as much as the underlying calculations. Some of its main features are:
FDES deliverable support for producing French environmental and health declaration sheets (FDES) from product LCA results.
PEP deliverable support for producing Product Environmental Profiles (PEP / PEP ecopassport®) for building equipment.
EPD/PEP positioning for organisations working across French and wider EPD-style disclosure needs.
Online platform delivery described as a “plateforme en ligne”, aimed at making declaration production easier to run as a repeatable process.
Designed to sit after LCA modelling, commonly alongside tools like SimaPro, as shown in published declarations that name both.
Closing Insights
Ev-DEC originates from EVEA, an eco-design and life cycle assessment consultancy established in 2005. EVEA combines scientific LCA expertise with operational support, training and software tool development aimed at helping organisations understand and manage product environmental and social impacts. Within this context, Ev-DEC serves as EVEA’s platform to take validated LCA outputs and translate them into standardised environmental declarations such as FDES and PEP, which are commonly used in French building regulation and product disclosure frameworks.
Rather than performing LCA modelling itself, Ev-DEC is positioned as a post-LCA declaration facilitator — a distinction from general carbon-accounting or LCA software that focus primarily on impact calculation. Real-world published declarations list Ev-DEC as a supporting software alongside LCA tools such as SimaPro, indicating its role in the declaration workflow for building products and profiles.
The platform’s alignment with French regulatory requirements (e.g., FDES and PEP formats under INIES and PEP ecopassport programmes) and its backing by EVEA’s consultancy services may make it attractive for manufacturers seeking consistent, standards-aligned declarations.
