Life Cycle Cost of a filter
At Camfil we take pride in our focus on saving energy over the filter’s lifetime to ensure that our specifications meet real conditions.
Understanding the cost impact of a filter
The Life Cycle Cost determines the user’s costs for cleaning the air the air during the entire use phase. The majority of the cost occurs during the use phase – up to 80%. Changing to better and more energy efficient filters is often the quickest win – both for the economy and for the environment.

Camfil are LCC pioneers
Camfil pioneered the first Life Cycle Cost (LCC) software in the early 1990s to help air filter users select the best filtration solution in terms of indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy performance.
Life Cycle Cost tools and reports
Our software solutions consider filter efficiency, filter life, filter change labor, filter cost, disposal costs and allows for varied inputs for all of these factors plus the largest filter expense – energy usage. Empowering you to make wise and informed decisions.
We are here to support
