Embodied carbon consultation opens on current use of CIBSE TM65

Insight from practitioners will help inform future updates

The CIBSE Embodied Carbon Working Group is seeking feedback on the use of CIBSE TM65: Embodied carbon in building services: a calculation methodology to help shape future updates.

The survey aims to build a clearer picture of current practices for assessing and reducing embodied carbon in building services systems, and to understand the challenges faced by those applying the guidance.

Insights from manufacturers, contractors, sustainability consultants and building services designers will directly inform improvements to TM65, and identify where further embodied carbon guidance would be valuable.

Specifically, this consultation seeks to:

  • Understand how CIBSE members currently assess and work to reduce embodied carbon in MEP systems, including the barriers they encounter
  • Gather insights into how TM65 is being used in practice to help inform future updates
  • Identify topics where additional embodied carbon guidance or support would be beneficial.

To respond to the survey, visit TM65 feedback by 30 April.
TM65 is available at: TM65.
