Camfil supports Eurovent's position on the energy saving potential from efficient air filtration systems
Eurovent, the European Committee of Air Handling and Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturers have issued a document highlighting their position on the energy saving potential from using efficient air filtration and duct systems.
The document called ‘Eurovent's Position on energy saving potentials by using efficient air filtration and leak tightness ducts (systems)’ states:
“Air filters are related to high consumption of energy by the fans in the ventilation systems. There is a potential saving by using the most efficient air filter, in terms of low pressure drop and efficiency according to European filter standards.
A duct system is the conveyer system of treated air from one location to defined destinations in buildings and it is important that all the air arrives at the destination point/outlet, this means leak tightness ducts.”
Based on a top down calculation Eurovent concluded that for air filtration the energy saving potential is 3,150 GWh/year. Based on 600g CO2/kWh, the ‘energy saving potential’ is equal to 1,900,000 tonnes of CO2/year.

Bill Wilkinson, Camfil Managing Director said:
“This new air filtration positioning document from EUROVENT gives clear guidance to the EU Commission and recommends air filtration systems should be regarded as energy related products in the sense of the ERP Directive. Let’s hope that the concept of short payback times and financial and energy efficiency start to be given a higher priority by those responsible for spending public money.”
