Viglacera, a leading Vietnamese construction firm, is pushing green building materials with certified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to help developers meet ESG goals and net zero targets. The company says using domestically produced materials with published carbon data can cut costs by 50 to 70 percent compared to imports while making project carbon footprints more transparent. Its energy saving glass and autoclaved aerated concrete products now carry EPD certification under US standards, supporting international green building certifications like LEED and EDGE. Beyond materials, Viglacera is building smart industrial parks with real time wastewater monitoring, AI security, and smart lighting to reduce energy use. The company is also expanding its aerated concrete plant capacity from 200,000 to 240,000 cubic meters per year with new German cutting equipment. For developers, using these products from the design stage can simplify mechanical systems, cut unnecessary costs, and boost asset value by up to 12 percent for green certified buildings. The article frames EPD transparency as the key to unlocking green credit and FDI for Vietnam's construction sector.
