C.Scale

The EPD ecosystem is maturing—but the infrastructure behind it is struggling to keep pace. AI is accelerating how EPDs are produced but verification standards haven't caught up. And demand signals from designers and procurement policy, while real, remain hard for manufacturers to read. On March 6, C.Scale CEO Jack Rusk moderates a panel of three practitioners who sit at different nodes of that ecosystem:

**Anna Lasso** at Smart EPD built North America's largest EPD program before building a fully digital alternative.

**Jack Cove** at Pathways automates AI-assisted LCA for heavy building materials.

**Sean Darras** at Lightly used successive EPDs to cut his product's embodied carbon 75%

And **Jack** and the C.Scale team are working to connect material-level EPD data to whole-building design outcomes.

Together they'll map what's working, name what isn't, and make the case that EPDs are a powerful design tool, not only a compliance checkbox.
