How to set Apache header only if environment variable has a certain value

I want to set a header in my Apache (2.4) config, but only if an environment variable has a certain value.

SetEnv ENV_NAME prod

How do I only set this header if ENV_NAME is not prod ?

    The Header directive may be followed by an additional argument, which may be any of:

    ...

    expr=expression The directive is applied if and only if expression evaluates to true. Details of expression syntax and evaluation are documented in the ap_expr documentation.
