Coldroom embodied carbon calculator

UK: Commercial refrigeration manufacturer Williams has launched a coldroom embodied carbon calculator, allowing users to calculate embodied carbon figures for bespoke coldrooms.

Developed by Williams’ engineering and IT teams using CIBSE verified component data, the online tool means designers, consultants and operators can configure a coldroom by selecting the number of compartments, dimensions and door and floor specifications. The calculator then generates an embodied carbon figure, supporting carbon reporting and informed purchasing decisions.

Williams was among the first manufacturers in the sector to publish embodied carbon figures, calculated using the CIBSE TM65 methodology, following feedback from business partners and end users seeking reliable, independently verified carbon data.

The new coldroom embodied carbon calculator builds on this commitment to transparency. Every component used within the calculator has a CIBSE verified embodied carbon value, allowing the overall figure for each bespoke coldroom configuration to be generated from verified data.

The Williams Refrigeration coldroom calculator is available here
