Embodied carbon data
EPDs and TM65 guidance for whole life carbon assessments
Reliable product data is essential for understanding the environmental impact of building systems. As the industry places greater focus on whole life carbon, designers and consultants need clear information to support embodied carbon assessments.
Daikin provides transparent environmental data through Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and TM65 embodied carbon calculations. Together, these resources help make it easier to include HVAC systems in whole-life carbon analysis and sustainability reporting.
EPDs: Verified lifecycle data
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide independently verified environmental data for a product across defined lifecycle stages, such as raw material extraction, manufacturing and end-of-life treatment.
This information allows consultants and engineers to incorporate verified product data into lifecycle assessments and building sustainability frameworks.
TM65: Embodied carbon calculations
Where EPDs are not yet available, TM65 provides a recognised method for estimating embodied carbon.
Developed by CIBSE, TM65 provides a consistent method for estimating the embodied carbon of building services products using available product information. This helps ensure systems such as HVAC equipment can be included in whole-life carbon assessments.
