By: Click a Fix Energy Imagine the energy requirements for an office building with all of the lights, screens, heaters, monitors, computers etc. All of which are probably not energy efficient too, the cost to run them will be significantly higher than it needs to be. Not only are the products not energy efficient, chances are they are misused so they are using more energy than they actually need to. However when the consumption is high, the savings that can be made will be just as high! If you picture a typical office day, how often are monitors left on while not in use? Or how often are the bigger machines used for the most simple of tasks? Chances are quite often. The office can be run in a more efficient way. By informing your staff of these small changes that they are to follow, then it will have an impact on your energy savings. - Switch off the monitor when not in use. It sounds simple enough but it is the common culprit of wasting energy. - Use the right equipment for the job. Is using the monitor and tower really necessary for making a quick word document? No. It is more beneficial to use a laptop for smaller jobs. Having to power up a monitor and a tower takes three times more energy than a laptop would use. - Print in bulk not at different times. A printer uses more energy preparing to print than actually printing. Therefore printing everything you need to at once will save energy. - Replacing lights for more energy efficient ones not only increases the output light made from 20% to 80% but they last much longer and don’t need replacing ever year. Also the higher efficiency will bring in even more savings! There are many different ways your business can become more efficient.
