Oventrop (UK) Ltd achieves Embodied Carbon Verification for nine valves
Oventrop (UK) Ltd has achieved Embodied Carbon Verification for nine of their valves, marking a significant milestone in the building services industry's journey towards carbon transparency and sustainability.
The achievement demonstrates Oventrop's commitment to reducing environmental impact across its product range, particularly in valves. By obtaining independent verification through CIBSE Certification's Embodied Carbon Verification (ECV) Scheme, the company has reinforced trust in its sustainability claims and aligned itself with growing industry expectations.
Oventrop has fully integrated CIBSE TM65 methodology into its product development and sustainability strategy. The technical standard, which provides a framework for calculating embodied carbon in building services equipment, has become central to how the company approaches manufacturing and material selection.
Independent Verification Builds Trust
By participating in CIBSE Certification's ECV Scheme, Oventrop has gone beyond self-assessment. Independent verification of their CIBSE TM65 calculations provides assurance to specifiers, contractors, and building owners that the company's carbon data is accurate and reliable.
This third-party validation is becoming increasingly important as the construction industry faces pressure to reduce carbon emissions and demonstrate progress towards net-zero targets.
Setting an Industry Benchmark
Oventrop's achievement positions the company as a leader in carbon transparency within the building services sector. As regulations around embodied carbon tighten and client demands for verified data increase, manufacturers who can provide independently verified CIBSE TM65 calculations will have a competitive advantage.
The company's success with nine verified products demonstrates that comprehensive carbon accounting is achievable across a product range, potentially encouraging other manufacturers to follow suit.
