About TM65
The purpose of the TM65 guide is to help industry take a first step together to evaluate embodied carbon emissions in MEP design, alongside operational carbon emissions. The intention is that consultants and engineers that use this guidance will feedback their findings to CIBSE on the embodied carbon of MEP products. This will help to inform further iterations of this guide, as well as establishing guidance on actions that reduce the embodied carbon associated with MEP systems.
TM65 provides guidance on how to use environmental product declarations (EPDs) for MEP products. Where EPDs are not available, the document provides guidance on how to estimate the embodied carbon of MEP products.
