Embodied Carbon Calculator: Mid-level Report
(CIBSE TM65 Digital Tool)
Introduction
If Section A of the 'Input' tab is correctly completed, the results will be shown here. Please complete all purple and yellow cells.
If you would like to assist CIBSE in building knowledge on the embodied carbon of products used in building services, please complete as directed above, name this file as instructed in the 'Introduction and Instructions' tab, and email this file to embodiedcarbon@cibse.org.
If you are a manufacturer and would like to share the results of your calculations with clients, please create PDFs of the relevant tabs ONLY (instructions are available in the 'Introduction and Instructions' tab). You may not share any CIBSE tool with clients. Instead, please refer any interested party to www.cibse.org/TM65, where they will be able to download the most up-to-date version of the relevant CIBSE tool.
