Make Use Of Natural Lighting
Here’s an opportunity to make use of free light – go ahead and pull those blinds back and let in all the natural light possible. Encourage employees to use natural lighting rather than artificial lighting whenever possible. Keep in mind this may require some moving of desks and workstations, so they are closer to the natural light.
Looking Into Another Energy Provider
Sometimes it can be quite shocking to find what you are paying in terms of energy prices are extremely high and not at all the norm. This is why it could be well worth your time to look into business energy quotes from other top UK providers. You could be saving up to 45% on your energy bill, which is huge.
Switch To LED Lighting
Speaking of energy use, making the switch to LED lighting throughout the entire office space will equate to massive savings. There are no sacrifices made to the level of light they create; it’s all about the energy they use.
Install Motion Detector Lights
Motion detector lights are another fabulous energy savings idea. These can be installed in places like entry/exit areas, hallways, bathrooms, meeting rooms, the break room, and so forth. What this means is that the lights will only be on when needed.
Adjust The Heat/Air Condition By A Couple Of Degrees
Adjusting the heating or air conditioning by just a couple of degrees may not sound like a lot, but again, it will be substantial enough to see the effect on your energy usage. People will still be just as comfortable, but you’ll be using much less energy.
Transition To Laptops Rather Than Desktops
While it may not be time to update everyone’s computers yet, it may be worth looking into doing so a little earlier than planned. Switching everyone to a laptop instead of a traditional desktop can lead to real energy savings.
Not only that, but you can also send out a memo to have everyone put their laptops in hibernation mode when not in use and at the end of the day. Using these tips, you’ll start to see immediate results in terms of your energy usage in the office, which may motivate you to make further changes and keep up with your greener choices.
