Leading Energy Efficiency Consultancy EECO2 has delivered over £10 million in global energy savings since they began trading just 5 years ago.
The energy savings are displayed on their website at www.eeco2.co.uk . The savings delivered to date amount to an astounding 250,000kWh and 91,000 Co2 tonnes. EECO2 have firmly established their position as a leading consultancy within the pharmaceutical and life sciences sector and work with global giants such as GSK, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Lilly and Novartis.
Founding Director Rob Wallace said:
“The core expertise & experience within EECO2 is not the usual ‘Consultant’ format as we all come from a design & build background, commercially grounded and totally focused upon the identification & cost effective delivery of identified energy savings. We validate energy savings and are able to demonstrate over £10 million in savings to date.”
Energy Management should be at the forefront for both large and small organisations as it is their responsibility to reduce their impact upon the environment by reducing their energy consumption and therefore their carbon footprint.
It is essential for organisations to reduce their carbon footprint not only to comply with legal requirements but also to enhance their green credentials.
According to The Carbon Trust, a large number of commercial, industrial and public sector organisations would be able to reduce their energy bills by up to 25% if they took energy management more seriously.
They recently launched a guide which highlights a number of ways in which these organisations can significantly reduce their energy bills by implementing more effective energy management strategies across the board.
When working with organisations on effective energy management, The Carbon Trust witnessed savings of up to 25% with payback timescales of as two years or less.
We have written the following article to provide you with more information about how your organisation can reduce your energy bills by up to 25%. Click here to download the document.
According to The Carbon Trust Advisory analysis, organisations across the UK that take the step to investing in renewable energy such as that produced by Solar PV installations could make returns of 11 – 12% and in some cases potential for returns is in excess of 20%.
With the clear indication that energy prices will continue to increase, it is becoming more important for organisations to make significant changes to their energy management policies. These changes are being put in made with the objective of making savings in energy thus reducing their emissions and their utility bills.
Large companies are responsible for around 10% of the UK’s emissions and ultimately, they have an obligation to meet Carbon Reduction objectives which will in turn reduce these emissions and therefore their impact upon the environment.
Due to changes in the energy market and building regulations it is becoming extremely appealing for organisations to make the move to generating their own energy from renewable sources such as Solar PV.
We have put together the following article to explain how your organisation could make over 10% return by investing in a Commercial Solar PV installation. If you are considering a solar pv installation, download the article here
Camfil Farr is a global manufacturer of air filtration equipment and associated services and the world leader in the production and development of air filters. They recently became the first manufacturing company in the UK to be awarded Energy Management Standard BS EN 16001 and the Energy Reduction Verification (ERV) Kitemark.
Camfil Farr in the UK has today announced that the company will become the first Gold Sponsor of Clean Air in London (CAL). The ‘Clean Air in London’ campaign was founded by Simon Birkett and aims to improve standards of air quality throughout London and elsewhere. It works closely with other campaign groups and a wider network of supporters and volunteers to identify and build understanding of the most important issues and encourage decisive action on them.
Camfil Farr and CAL agree that clean air is a human right so Camfil Farr is supporting a new campaign by CAL to build public understanding of the dangers of indoor air quality, initially in London, with advice for people on protecting themselves and reducing pollution.
Further announcements are expected in the coming weeks.

Energy conservation is closely linked to sustainability. In today’s energy debate, governments are leaning heavily on commercial and industrial building owners to shrink energy consumptions.
Building ventilation systems are energy-intensive and we have calculated – in the case of Sweden, for example – that as much as 1.4TWh of energy is needed to move air through filters in all the country’s air handling systems. A projection over the entire European market evaluates fan energy consumption at 31.5 TWh for building ventilation.
Using the correct filters with the required particulate efficiency and lowest possible pressure drop will reduce the energy consumption of HVAC systems sharply while maintaining a healthy indoor climate for occupants and enhancing the building performance in terms of sustainability.
Experience shows that selection, according to EN 13779, of the right filters with the right pressure drop can have a significant impact on energy consumption and carbon footprint of buildings in the European Union.
Quality low-energy air filters may cost a little more, but their longer term benefits pay off every time, usually several times over – in terms of
- reduced energy consumption,
- higher Indoor Air Quality (IAQ),
- fewer filter changes,
- less waste.
PART 1 – Air conditioning inspections: a quick win for a better indoor environment and energy savings
The EU EPBD legislation, Article 9 ( article 15 in the Recast EPBD, 2010) makes inspections of air conditioning (AC) systems mandatory for compliance.
AC inspections performed by Camfil Ltd in the UK have confirmed the potential of quick wins that inspection of filters could provide to building tenants and maintenance companies. They deliver the required indoor air quality with optimum energy efficiency.
Land Securities, the largest commercial property company in the UK, now own and manage more than 2.7 million square metres of commercial property, from London offices and high street shops to major shopping centres and out-of-town retail parks.
The initial evaluation of air filters on a pilot site in London involved collecting performance details on the standard air filters in use at the time, and comparing them to an alternative selection of improved performance air filters.
