According to the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), embodied carbon refers to the “greenhouse gas emissions generated during the manufacturing , transportation, and disposal of materials used in a product.”
TM65.2 and TM66 are Technical Memoranda published by CIBSE to promote sustainability in the lighting industry.
TM65.2 provides a methodology for calculating the embodied carbon in lighting products.
This guidance enables lighting designers, specifiers, engineers, and manufacturers to assess and compare the carbon footprint of lighting equipment, facilitating more informed decisions to reduce environmental impact.
TM66 offers a framework for adopting circular economy principles within the lighting sector. A circular economy aims to minimise waste and make the most of resources by designing products for longevity, repairability, and recyclability.
TM66 provides practical guidance and assessment methods to help manufacturers and specifiers develop and evaluate lighting products that align with these principles, promoting sustainability throughout the product lifecycle.
