Reducing carbon emissions at the University of London

17 July 2024

At Atlas Workplace Services, our commitment to sustainability drives us to provide innovative solutions that help our clients significantly reduce their carbon footprints. A notable example is our collaboration with the University of London, where we utilised Camfil’s advanced filtration technology to deliver substantial environmental and economic benefits.

An ambitious project designed in partnership with the client

The University of London faced challenges with high energy costs and substantial carbon emissions due to their existing filtration systems.  After a thorough analysis, we proposed a switch to Camfil’s advanced filters, specifically designed to enhance efficiency and sustainability.

Through the Atlas solution, the University of London is projected to achieve a 66% reduction in CO2 emissions, decreasing from 35.31 tons to 11.96 tons over three years. This substantial reduction is expected to be paired with annual energy savings exceeding 100 MWh, showcasing the system’s efficiency in minimising energy consumption.

Furthermore, the transition is anticipated to lower the total cost of ownership by 66%, resulting in savings of approximately £30,000 over three years. These savings stem from reduced energy costs, fewer filter changes, and lower waste disposal expenses.

Delivering real environmental benefits

Our solution aims to minimise waste impacts: reducing landfill contributions from 1.78 m³ to 0.95 m³ ; and improve air quality with an enhanced ePM1 efficiency from 42% to 54%. These improvements are designed to ensure a cleaner environment and a healthier workplace, contributing to the overall wellbeing and productivity of university staff and students.

Atlas’ approach underscores our commitment to supporting our client in their journey towards Net Zero. By providing high-efficiency filtration systems, we aim to facilitate significant reductions in carbon emissions, energy consumption and operational costs, aligning with global sustainability goals and fostering a greener future.
