Let's raise EPD quality & EPD literacy across construction
Our goal is to make quality EPDs accessible to all manufacturers, big and small, and ensure EPD quality can be more easily recognisable across the sector, not just among specialists.

A brief history
Lodestellar emerged out of Digital Construction 2022, which gathered construction and software specialists in Tallinn to accelerate the adoption of game-changing digital tools across the global construction sector.
A panel of industry experts awarded Lodestellar (then Lodestar) first place to support its further development.
After that, we continued to refine the concept and develop the technology - while still primarily working ourselves as EPD developers and verifiers for building product manufacturers across Europe and the US.
After extensive industry validation, use as an internal tool at LCA Support, and then wider pilots, we discovered that a quality review at an early stage of development can significantly reduce a lot of costly hassle later between manufacturers, developers, verifiers, and programme operators.
In 2026, the technology was ready and we now invite you to try Lodestellar for yourself.
We're a lean team, combining domain and technical expertise, and supported by leading LCA and EPD professionals.
