British
manufacturer uses TM65 and figures have been verified by Greener Energy Futures
Embodied carbon figures are rapidly gaining importance, as
consultants, designers and operators look to comply with their environmental aspirations
and obligations. Having a figure to
encapsulate the embodied carbon in an appliance allows the specifier to select
the most appropriate for the project. Williams
Refrigeration quickly responded to this demand and has now published embodied
carbon calculations for all its core products.
The company is using the CIBSE TM65 mid-level calculation method for the
figures, which have been independently verified by Greener Energy Futures
Ltd.
“Talking to our business partners and end-user customers we
realised early on that embodied carbon figures are set to become a ‘must-have’
for foodservice equipment suppliers,” says Malcolm Harling, sales and marketing
director at Williams Refrigeration. “The
engineering team, supported by our environmental consultants, have been working
very hard to collate the data required to compute them as quickly and
accurately as possible. Their success
means we are amongst the first equipment manufacturers to have our calculations
produced, third party verified and available within our Revit symbols in
Specifi.
“There’s no doubt that embodied carbon figures will help our
industry become more sustainable as foodservice operators, manufacturers,
consultants, designers and dealers work together to deliver carbon net
zero.”
The Williams’ core products with embodied carbon figures
include a selection of Jade counters and cabinets, blast chillers, Chef’s
Drawers, Onyx prep stations, UBCs (Under Broiler Counters), and the
undercounter Amber and Aztra cabinets. “These
are our most popular models,” says Harling, “the team is working on having
figures for all our product families in the near future.”
Data sheets with the embodied carbon figures will be
available via Specifi or direct from Williams.
