Low or no-cost energy tips for your business
Saving energy at work doesn't require a major investment in money or time.
Making some simple changes can produce significant savings at business facilities.
- If you are the last one out, turn out general area lights.
- If you walk by an empty room with the lights on, turn them off.
- If you get to work early or work after regular hours, only use the lights you need.
- During occupied hours, set thermostats at 68-70°F for heating and 74-76°F for cooling.
- For after hours, adjust your thermostat to 55-60°F for heating and 80°F for cooling.
- Wear layers of clothing so you can adjust to stay comfortable.
- Turn off your computer monitor when you'll be away from your computer for more than 15 minutes.
- When you leave for the day, log out and turn off your computer at the power switch.
