Camfil Farr, a global leader in air filtration solutions, has introduced Life Cycle Costing (“LCC”) software. It is the first of its kind in the HVAC industry, the company states.  The LCC software identifies the best-possible filtration options for each area or operating condition.  Most importantly, it calculates the true, “life cycle” cost of every filter being considered, from all manufacturers.  

“Life cycle costs” include the cost of the filters themselves, shipping, the cost of change-out labor based on local labor rates, and the cost of waste disposal.  Life cycle costs also include the most expensive item of all:  the cost of energy to move air through the filter.  Comparing filters based on Life Cycle Costs, rather than just the number on the invoice, gives managers and purchasing agents, for the first time, a true picture of what filters actually cost over a year or other specified period.   

Life Cycle Costing is a service available to commercial users through Camfil
Farr and its distributors throughout North America.  Calculations are highly customized to the individual air handling systems, their unique operating conditions and requirements.  

Expenses associated with building ventilation are substantial, and air filters are the one system component that can be changed quickly, at reasonable cost, and without modifications to existing equipment or ventilation systems.  

LCC software and other filter management services have allowed Camfil Farr to help thousands of customers permanently reduce energy expenses, while achieving precisely the filtration efficiency levels required.
