The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) has launched its new Embodied Carbon Calculator tool<\/h2>\n

Engineers can easily estimate the embodied carbon<\/a> associated with mechanical, electrical and public health systems in buildings, for the first time. Actuate UK<\/a>, the voice of engineering services, has welcomed the launch of CIBSE\u2019s<\/a> new Embodied Carbon Calculator.<\/p>\n

The digital Embodied Carbon Calculator tool, is designed to support consultants, researchers and manufacturers to implement CIBSE TM65 Embodied carbon in building services: a calculation methodology<\/a>, by performing the calculations set out in the document.<\/p>\n

How to use the calculator<\/h3>\n

A manufacturer will complete the Manufacturer Form<\/a>\u00a0describing the materials used in the product.<\/p>\n

Using this data, a user can complete either a basic embodied carbon calculation, when limited information is available or a more robust mid-level calculation.<\/p>\n

Once the user has added contact details and completed consent to publication details, the result may be used as a self-assessed value for the embodied carbon of the product.<\/p>\n

Carbon impact measurements<\/h3>\n

Paul Reeve from Actuate UK\u2019s Net Zero Group said:<\/p>\n

“Communicating the embodied carbon of electrical and electronic equipment and other building services products is a new challenge, and opportunity, for our sector.<\/p>\n

“Buyers are increasingly requiring mechanical, electrical & plumping (MEP) contractors to show how they are including embodied carbon in their carbon impact measurements – the new toolkit provides a technically sound, but also highly pragmatic, approach to help both manufacturers and contractors achieve this.”<\/p>\n
