This is a recording of an event held by the CIBSE HVAC Systems Group on 14th September 2022. The evening focused on embodied carbon and how designs must change to meet emission targets. As the industry moves towards low carbon heating sources and reduces the operational emissions of buildings, the importance of addressing embodied carbon gets greater – in fact by 2050 it is predicted by UKGBC that approximately 40% of the emissions from the built environment will be as a result of embodied carbon. With the impending climate crisis, it is essential that we understand how to mitigate this route of pollution and share best practice with each other.

Speakers:
Celine McLoughlin-Jenkins, AECOM
Celine McLoughlin-Jenkins is a Graduate Building Sustainability Consultant working in the Sustainable Development Group at AECOM. Since joining AECOM in early 2021, Celine has predominantly focused on whole life carbon assessments and is currently a WLC Officer for the GLA. Celine has developed a particular interest in whole life carbon assessments of MEP retrofit options, evaluating both the operational carbon and embodied carbon of individual systems.
Ankit Singh, Waterman Group
A sustainability expert specialising in embodied carbon, Ankit is at the forefront of delivering strategic sustainability solutions for the built environment. Working extensively with developers, contractors, research groups and Universities, Ankit has developed energy, whole-life carbon and sustainability strategies, and delivered low-carbon and circular economy advice for a diverse range of schemes, sectors and organisations. His expansive experience incorporates specialist research for the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) programme, British Institute of Facilities Management, Department of Energy and Climate Change’s Smart Meters initiative, and he was also heavily involved with the development of the ESG benchmarking index for facilities management organisations in the UK. Ankit’s exceptional academic background includes a PhD from the University of Reading which focused on the development of Corporate Social Responsibility strategies in large UK construction firms. In addition, he has published and co-authored several peer-reviewed papers and industry reports on sustainability in the built environment.

Yara Machnouk, Elementa Consulting
Yara Machnouk is an Environmental Design Engineer working in the sustainability team at Elementa Consulting. While generally exploring all forms of sustainability within building services and design, she has more recently been focusing on whole life carbon assessments and more specifically, the embodied carbon impact of MEP materials. Yara is a co-author of ‘CIBSE TM56.1: Embodied carbon of building services: residential heating’ which included TM65 data points used to calculate the embodied carbon of different individual and communal heating systems
Chris Newman, Mitsubishi Electric
Chris Newman is am a time served refrigeration engineer with 25 years’ experience in the HVAC sector and is passionate about understanding and solving problems. His role as Mitsubishi Electric’s Zero Carbon Design Manager is to engage with built environment professionals at the earliest possible stage of a project’s lifecycle to try and help develop concepts, ideas and strategies to deliver low carbon building solutions in line with the UK’s drive towards Net Zero. A significant part of his role is to collaborate, share ideas and industry knowledge with his colleagues and customers to ensure Mitsubishi’s low carbon solutions fit perfectly within the everchanging legislation, compliance requirements and technical guidance being written to help deliver a Net Zero carbon future.
