Better business practice

There are many ways of being energy efficient in business, and implementing simple strategies like these will save your company money too:

 

Turn off computers when not in use

This can cut the emissions associated with your computer use by over 75% and save you around $36 per computer per year.

 

Update your air conditioning

Better controls and air distribution, and more efficient fans, pumps and electric motors will reduce your biggest office energy cost.

 

Adjust your lighting

Using more energy-saving lamps and enclosures, and automatic controls such as motion detectors and daylight sensing, can reduce your lighting energy bill by between 30% and 80%.

 

Reduce heat loss and heat production

Significant savings can be made by insulating pipes, using more efficient heating systems and replacing central heaters with distributors that reduce flow rates.

 

Use energy efficient equipment

Always look for products like computers, air conditioners, refrigerators, water heaters, electric motors and ballasts for fluorescent lamps that have a high Energy Star® rating.
