FEA welcomes Specifi’s embodied carbon feature
Association members get discount on Specifi listing

FEA has welcomed the news that Specifi has launched a feature giving the option to include embodied carbon (EC) figures in all product listings within the platform’s eCatalog.  The new feature is included at no extra cost to companies already using Specifi and reflects the increasing demand for embodied carbon figures from the industry. 

“This is a very timely addition to the Specifi platform,” says John Cunningham, chief executive of FEA.  “Many of our members have already calculated their products’ EC figures, or they are in the process of doing so.  Specifi’s initiative will make it easy for operators, consultants and kitchen designers to access the information they need, in one place, so that they can make informed equipment choices.” 

The move is all the more timely as manufacturers face increasing demands for access to embodied carbon data of their products.

The Specifi system can now list EC data in whatever format the manufacturer has calculated it, including using the TM65 methodology.  “Once a manufacturer has data for a product line we can help them share it,” says Simon Lilley, Specifi’s business development manager for the UK and Ireland.  “The information will appear in our eCatalog under General Data — making it visible right where dealers and designers are searching. Specifi can add additional parameters too if the market requires, and we are open to continued feedback and further development.” 

FEA members benefit from significant discounts with Specifi, which can amount to several thousands of pounds.  These include no joining fee, three months extra free on the first year of a contract, and free access to Specifi Share, which allows manufacturers to embed Specifi’s configurator tool on their own website. 

FEA’s Embodied Carbon hub (fea.org.uk/information/embodied-carbon) includes information and guides to the topic.
