How Choosing the Right Air Filter Can Help Your Company Lower Energy Costs

Clean Air Solution by Camfil USA. Leader in Air Filters for Commercial and Industrial applications.

Leading developer of clean air products Camfil outlines three ways choosing the right air filter can help companies save on energy related costs.

Not making the right investment in air filters products can cause some companies to spend five or more times the amount necessary on their heating, ventilating, and air condition systems. Why? Because choosing low cost filters that are of limited quality, quickly clog, and lead to an increased airflow resistance, can culminate in a higher spend on an HVAC system.

Statistics show that on average, in a commercial building 30% of an energy bill is related to how the air is filtered. By choosing a quality, low energy combination of air filters then the total cost of ownership is lowered.

Analyzing the Life-Cycle of Your Air Filter

Quality air filters like those offered by Camfil can save companies money in part because they last twice as long as more traditional air filtration products. Many also experience additional savings from a reduction in installation and labor costs, as well as waste disposal.

Many companies don’t realize that low quality air filters contribute to higher costs in this way and overlook the importance of conducting a life-cycle cost analysis of the air filters they currently use. Buying habits and group purchasing decisions make some vulnerable to getting into the continued cycle of only choosing sub standard products.

The following are three key considerations for companies seeking to break the cycle and see substantial savings on energy related costs.

  • Not all air filtration products produce clean air – Some air filters don’t meet required compliance guidelines to ensure that buildings are up to code because they only in essence shift around dirty air. Air quality control is an important consideration not only for costs savings, but also for the benefit of the health of employees and others within the company atmosphere.
  • The total spend on air filtration includes a number of costs – In addition to what is spent on air filters directly, the total cost of ownership for an HVAC system includes installation and labor costs, and costs for waste. Utilizing premium air filters with extended life can save on waste disposal costs by 70%, installation and labor costs by 50%, and HVAC energy costs by 20%.
  • Energy efficient air filters can save thousands of dollars per year for companies that operate in commercial or industrial buildings – Particularly for larger companies, the savings of the aforementioned total spend can total thousands of dollars.

Camfil USA, Inc. Washington Facility Awarded Multi-million Dollar Containment Project

Clean Air Solution by Camfil USA. Leader in Air Filters for Commercial and Industrial applications.

The containment project will bring expansion to the Washington facility which specializes in proprietary metal housings, carbon, and molecular filtration

WASHINGTON, N.C., (August 28, 2015) – Camfil – the world’s leading provider of clean air solutions – announces the securing of its largest multi-year sales contract by its Washington, North Carolina production site. The National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) being constructed in Manhattan, Kansas will be the nation’s foremost animal disease research facility.

The biosafety level-3 and 4 laboratory will research emerging, high consequence livestock diseases that threaten animal and human health. “This Camfil multi-million dollar containment project is a significant part of the reported $1.25 billion dollar NBAF Facility construction project,” says Ryan Woolard, Washington plant manager. Shipments are slated to begin in mid-2016 and will feature a variety of products including CamContain Systems, Isolation Dampers, and SafeScan Automatic with CamControl.

The project will consist of more than 690+ HEPA Filter Containment Systems, 830+ Bio Seal Dampers, and 5 CamControl Non-Intrusive Filter Certification Systems. Phil Chearmonte, containment systems segment manager, says, “The NBAF project is the largest biosafety laboratory containment project the industry has ever seen, and most likely will ever see! Eight years ago we capitalized on an opportunity to embark on this challenge. Our goal, to ultimately secure the entire scope of supply that Camfil could potentially provide using our state-of-the-art technology. This win is the culmination of a true Camfil Washington Team effort and a testament to Camfil’s reputation in our industry. I am very proud of our collective team effort and look forward to the execution phase of this highly visible and important project.”

The containment project will bring expansion to the Washington facility which specializes in proprietary metal housings, carbon, and molecular filtration. Areas of growth include the renovation and construction of a state-of-the-art laboratory and quality assurance unit, other building enhancements such as specialized helium chambers, and sustainable economic gains in employment and contractual business. The partnership, scheduled to launch in fall 2015, took years of planning and cultivation. The team led by Chearmonte includes Ryan Woolard; Arthur Soma, product manager nuclear/containment; Christian Hicks, containment systems sales engineer; Gary Chrismon, sales engineering/product manager; Keith Woolard, research & development/engineering manager; Mike Carlyle, senior project manager/engineering; and Derek Gibbs, sales engineer, and other key personnel at the Washington factory.
