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.

Camfil has been shortlisted for two prestigious industry awards as the Emap Energy Awards organisers announce the shortlist for 2011.
The shortlist for Emap’s Energy Awards 2011 has been unveiled. The Energy Awards is the only event that recognises achievement across the entire energy industry whether it’s managing its use and reducing it within a building; providing exceptional supply and procurement services; using innovative energy efficient and renewable technologies in existing or new build properties to reduce their carbon footprint; and promoting energy efficient products and services that have made an impact over the past year.
Camfil Farr have become the first company globally to achieve the BSI Energy Reduction Verification(ERV) an early action metric for the CRC energy reduction scheme thanks to the energy saving electrical products installed by WM Dyer during the last two years.
WM Dyer Ltd has been the electrical maintenance and electrical installation contractor for Camfil Farr Ltd – The leading manufacturer of low energy air filters, for over 20 years.
They have worked with Camfil Farr on an on-going energy efficiency scheme which has shown cost savings of approximately £200,000 to date. The electrical maintenance and installation project include Power Distribution, Low Energy Lighting Installation, Emergency Lighting Installation and Small Power installation.
Managing Director of Camfil Farr, Bill Wilkinson is thrilled with the work that WM Dyer Electrical Contractors has carried out for them, enabling them to achieve the BSI Energy Reduction Verification Kitemark.
WM Dyer has produced the first in a series of Video Case Studies which showcases their electrical energy efficiency services with Camfil Farr.
Bill Wilkinson said :
“ We are honoured to be featured within their latest video case study and I would highly recommend this company to any organisation that is serious about Energy Reduction”
Camfil Farr is the world leader in air filtration and clean air solutions. The company differs from competitors in its approach, producing products that can deliver a tangible reduction in energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Camfil Farr gained certification to the environmental management system standard ISO 14001 in 2000. Through the continued application of careful energy management, robust monitoring and measurement of energy consumption and waste streams, Camfil Farr has continued the journey and led by example by being the first UK manufacturing company to achieve certification to the energy management system standard BS EN 16001 in July 2010.
More recently Camfil Farr has become the first organisation in the world to be awarded the BSI’s Kitemark in Energy Reduction Verification (ERV). Download the article from BSI here.
“Independent certification will ‘rubber stamp’ us as a trustworthy and truly sustainable business which hugely benefits the industry we work in. Since a core part of Camfil’s business is selling energy saving filters we felt it was crucial for the organisation to be seen to be practising what it preaches!”

Last week, the CRC News team attended the Energy Solutions Expo at London Olympia and met with a number of exhibitors and speakers.
Day 1: The Energy Academy was the host to a number of experts discussing issues revolving around the theme of ‘Sustainable Strategies’
Andrew Hitchings Project Executive of The Environment Agency gave an interesting talk entitled: The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme what and how? which gave a progress report on the introductory phase and also gave useful tips and information about assessing and comparing performance to achieve overall targets.
Andrew Hitchings was followed by Andrew Morris – Business Development Director of BSI who spoke about BS EN 16001 and targeting energy consumption & proving energy reductions before introducing Bill Wilkinson of Camfil Farr – the first company to join the BSI’s ERV (Energy Reduction Verification) Kitemark Scheme.

The British Standards Institution (BSI) has announced that world leading air filtration manufacturer, Camfil Farr, has become the first company to join its recently launched Kitemark scheme for Energy Reduction Verification (ERV). The scheme independently verifies and certifies those organisations that achieve a reduction in carbon emissions through lower energy use.

The scheme independently verifies and certifies those organisations that achieve a reduction in carbon emissions through lower energy use.
With its UK headquarters in Haslingden, Lancashire, Camfil Farr has a reputation for promoting the efficient use of energy and has demonstrated that air filters directly influence energy consumption within the air handling units which heat, cool and clean the air in air conditioning systems.
The company aims to educate property managers and owners about the substantial benefits of replacing existing filtration assets with low energy air filters. Camfil, the world leader in the production and development of air filters, became the first manufacturing company in the UK to be awarded BSI’s Energy Management Standard BS EN 16001 in July 2010. As a manufacturing and service orientated business, Camfil Farr took the opportunity to examine its own current and future energy usage.
In light of rising and unstable energy costs, increasing legislation and the government’s policy of driving energy consumption reduction, the company wanted to do as much as it could to demonstrate social responsibility while helping its employees, suppliers and customers to learn how to reduce energy and save money.
Bill Wilkinson, Camfil Farr Managing Director commented:
“Although we are not a huge energy consumer, the total savings achieved were remarkable. In the first year (2008) we achieved a saving of over 22% of our total energy bill and in the verification year (2009) a further 14.6%. This represented an annual saving of nearly £200,000 from an energy bill which exceeded £500,000 in 2007.”
Bill Wilkinson continues:
“Camfil have always been energy aware, this awareness is an integral part of our culture and our operations. We have already had a lean management culture”.
When asked what advice he would give to other companies seeking to join the scheme, Wilkinson said: “Simply doing nothing is just not acceptable, but as we found out, by implementing a company-wide Employee Engagement Scheme, every employee contributed to the substantial energy savings that we made”.
