Energy Managers, Property, Estates, FMs and Building Engineers and are realising the substantial financial and energy saving opportunities that exist by replacing existing air filters with our award-winning filters. Camfil have delivered ‘identified energy savings’ of over £2 million to UK sites by installing low energy air filters in HVAC systems. Many multi-site organisations and Estates Departments at larger organisations are committed to developing and implementing energy plans, involving strategy and policy on energy & sustainability. One of the main aims of these plans is to strive to balance the key principles, those of sustainability, financial viability, environmental enhancement and social responsibility.
Large land owners, building management and insurance companies are waking up to the huge value of the potential savings that can be achieved from effective air filtration systems. With soaring energy prices and new energy directives and mandates, it truly pays to save energy in air filtration systems. Camfil offer low energy air filter products that provide the highest indoor air quality, with the lowest pressure drop, delivering the biggest

energy savings to customers, without compromising air quality.
The effective management, maintenance and procurement of air filtration systems can allow energy managers to quickly see a reduction in energy bills. Paybacks within revenue budgets are typically less than three months.
The Solution Air filters are hidden in various plant rooms within the air handling unit; they significantly contribute to the resistance of the fan motor. Air filters are designed to be changed unlike other components within the ventilation system, and consequently do not put any pressure on capital budgets when upgrading to a low energy filter.
Would you spend a pound to save £5 or £10? Camfil can demonstrate how better air filters will lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Low cost filters clog quickly, causing a higher resistance to the airflow which results in an energy cost penalty. Camfil air filters capture particles and maintain the proper airflow two-to-three times longer than low cost filters, and require less frequent filter changes. Fewer filters, less labour, reduced waste... AND the biggest savings are energy costs.
How? By selecting filters designed for lower average lifetime resistance, the HVAC unit doesn’t work as hard to pull air through the system.
Life Cycle Cost Analysis In the average commercial building, 50% of the energy bill is for the HVAC system and 30% of that is directly related to the air filtration, so it always pays for you to choose the best low energy air filter combination for the right filtration application. We'll show you how and we'll prove it in the lab, on your site, or in Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis calculations.
Camfil are currently offering a free energy opportunity assessment survey of Air Handling Units that will evaluate potential energy savings from using their new A+ products. Their specially designed ‘Life Cycle Cost’ (LCC) programme will create an accurate simulation of the energy consumed in a typical AHU system. From this produce a comprehensive report to realise real cost savings with fast pay backs. Change frequencies of filters are reduced ensuring that annual filter costs do not exceed your current budgets. Other savings include labour, waste and CO2
reduction.
