Camden is a wonderful place to work however businesses in Camden contribute greatly to air pollution.

‘Building emissions’ refers to air pollution produced during the operation and use of buildings (not during their construction), from heating systems, power generation, industrial processes and cooking or food preparation. Commercial buildings in Camden are responsible for 52% of all NOx emissions, 46.8% of all PM10 emissions, and 61% of all PM2.5 emissions in the borough.

Below are the main ways emissions are caused from buildings:

Heating
Onsite power supply and emergency generators
