For commercial office buildings, about 40% of electricity is used for lighting.
Therefore, simply performing a few energy saving measures could work wonders:
— Implement a policy at your office to have lights off over night. Why do they need to be on ?
— Turn off lights when you leave a room
— Turn off lights at the end of the day
— Install outdoor and low-traffic indoor lighting systems on motion sensors, or timers
— Replace older power-hungry incandescent bulbs with LEDs
— Incorporate natural lighting in the overall solution where possible
— Discuss these energy saving measures with your staff to encourage everyone to help out.
Working together, we CAN make a difference !
