General
tips for saving energy
Measure how much energy you’re using. Unless you know what you’re paying,
you won’t know what impact the changes make. Keep track of your bills, and
how they change when you introduce our energy-saving tips.
Switch off
equipment when you’re not using it
On average offices waste £6,000 each year by leaving equipment on over
weekends and bank holidays. Just getting your employees to turn off their
monitors when they go home can make a big difference.
Speak to
your colleagues about saving energy
You need to lead by example, but it’s also important to make it a team
effort. Ask employees where they think energy is being wasted, and
encourage them to think about how they can all use less. |
