Recognising the growing importance of whole-life carbon, Precision has applied TM65 assessments, carefully analysing materials, plastics, refrigerants, insulation and electronics across all its products. This detailed evaluation has highlighted significant carbon hotspots, enabling the team to explore lower-impact design and procurement choices at an early stage.

Begum Ozdemir, supply chain and compliance manager at Precision Refrigeration, said: “CIBSE TM65 has fundamentally reshaped our approach to product development. It provides a robust, practical framework for assessing embodied carbon and ensures sustainability is built in from the outset.

“CIBSE’s ECV scheme was the obvious way forward for independent verification of our embodied carbon data. They invented the TM65 framework, so who better to have check our calculation methods? It brings consistency and confidence to our reporting, and with annual monitoring, we can ensure our data stays relevant as our products evolve.”

These insights are already influencing internal decision-making, with embodied carbon now considered alongside cost and performance when selecting materials.

The TM65 framework has also created a shared language across departments – from R&D and procurement through to marketing – making it easier to communicate transparently with clients and consultants who are increasingly seeking verified, low-carbon data.

To strengthen the credibility of its reporting, Precision Refrigeration has adopted CIBSE Certification’s Embodied Carbon Verification (ECV) scheme. This independent verification confirms the accuracy of TM65 calculations and aligns the company’s sustainability claims with industry expectations.

As demand for verified low-carbon solutions grows, Precision Refrigeration is leading the way, demonstrating a clear commitment to environmental responsibility and driving the industry towards more transparent, sustainable practices.

CIBSE certificates are now available for download via Precision’s website, and embodied carbon data has been integrated into all product specification sheets.
