Quick facts Energy Consumption Reduction
Energy Saving In 2007 Camfil Limited embarked upon a campaign to save energy under the banner of CEASE (Camfil Energy Awareness Saves Environment) and have achieved significant reductions in energy usage and improvements in energy efficiency resulting in the company saving some £200K on energy bills through minimal cost, self-funding opportunities. Two main categories of energy usage have been identified: Logistics Fuel Electricity Top 10 Energy Saving Tips “Just Do It’s” 1. Reduce lighting where possible and take advantage of natural daylight. 2. Install occupancy sensors. 3. Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), which can last up to ten times longer.
The charts below demonstrate the savings that have been achieved and these can be summarised as follows: 2008 2009 2010 2011 Logistics Fuel -23% -7% +1% Electricity -14% -8% -8% -6% The total energy used by the company (electricity, gas and logistics fuel) has been converted to CO2e and savings are as follows: 2008 2009 2010 2011 Energy tCO2e -16% -7% -3% 1200000

4. Replace incandescent lights in exit signs with LED fixtures.
7. Turn off or set office equipment to power down when not in use. 8. Lower the thermostat on your water heater. 9. Invest in energy-efficient equipment such as low energy air filters. 10. Call Camfil Limited about our energy efficiency filters and services.

5. Adjust the thermostat down in the winter and up in the summer and shut off when not in use.
During the energy saving journey the need to “practice what we preach” was identified and the company implemented a formalisation of the CEASE energy management system. Camfil Ltd were the first manufacturing company in the UK to achieve registration to BS EN16001 and the first to transition to the new international Energy Management System standard ISO50001. In September 2010 the BSI carried out an independent verification of the energy savings achieved resulting in the company being awarded the Energy Reduction Verification (ERV) Kitemark. The requirement was for a saving of 2.5% to be demonstrated over the compliance years. The actual saving demonstrated was 14.5%. Camfil Limited were the first company in the world to achieve registration under the ERV Kitemark
