Specifi is taking the next step in supporting sustainability across the foodservice industry by implementing TM65 carbon footprint data into our digital catalogues.

TM65, Embodied Carbon in Building Services: A Calculation Methodology, is a standard developed to assess the embodied carbon of products linked to building services engineering systems. Its purpose is to increase understanding and support research into whole-life carbon, ensuring businesses can make more informed decisions about the environmental impact of their projects.

Our development team is currently rolling out TM65 data within the Specifi eCatalog in stages. Users will soon be able to find a product’s carbon footprint rating under General Data or as a document attachment. Once in place, the footprint rating will also be embedded when downloading equipment design blocks, keeping this crucial detail attached to the specification process.

The next phase will see this information implemented in Specifi Design. When inserting products from our eCatalog, users will not only see the TM65 rating, it’ll also be included when generating schedules. This ensures that carbon data becomes an integral part of the design and reporting workflow. This data will then flow into Specifi Quote, when synchronised from the design.

In the UK, this information will very soon be unavoidable, particularly for public sector and government-backed projects. Distributors and manufacturers will be required to report carbon figures for each piece of equipment. Specifi’s role is to display and carry forward the data provided by manufacturers. Currently, Williams Refrigeration is among the first manufacturers in Specifi to include TM65 information, but this will grow rapidly over time.

This is just the beginning of a staged rollout. Specifi is committed to developing this capability further, ensuring that our users remain ahead of regulatory requirements and can continue to deliver responsible, future-ready kitchen projects.
