About this Event
Thursday, September 17
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM PT
AEP Span, Tacoma, WA
Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of AEP Span's manufacturing facility to explore how material transparency and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) connect to real-world building products.
This in-person event is part of Absher Construction's Sustainabilty week. It will provide an overview of EPDs, why they matter for sustainable construction, and how manufacturers track and communicate the environmental impacts of their products. Participants will then tour the facility to see the manufacturing process firsthand and gain a better understanding of the data behind materials specifications and sustainability reporting.
