| Summary: | This book (TM65.1) investigates the embodied carbon impact of heating and hot water equipment and strategies for use in residential buildings. In this document, embodied carbon refers to the greenhouse gas emissions associated with materials and construction processes (modules A1 to A5 (product and construction)), B1 to B5 (in use) and C1 to C4 (end of life) defined in BS EN 15978:2011. The embodied carbon calculations in this document follow the methodology outlined in CIBSE TM65, Embodied carbon in building services: a calculation methodology, as environmental product declarations (EPDs) are not yet widely available. The purpose of this document is to help engineers understand the embodied carbon impact of heating and hot water equipment, both at the product level and at the system level, to enable them to make informed design decisions early on in the design process. |
