Colleague, Increase Energy Efficiency in Your Workplace!

 

Most businesses-whether operated from home or another building-have energy expenses. By working to be more energy efficient in the way you do business, you can lower these expenses and raise your profits. Renewable energy technology can also offer a great return on investment and cost savings as well. Here are a few tips to keep your business running smoothly and efficiently.

• Use laptops instead of desktop computers to save 50 percent of the energy.
• Replace any old, big CRT computer monitors with LCD monitors.
• Install ENERGY STAR compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) in the task lights on your desk.
• When buying appliances or large equipment, don't just purchase ENERGY STAR rated products, but also those with the BEST ratings.
• Use a power strip at your desk for computers, individual printers, and other electronics that can be turned off completely. Power off equipment and then turn off the power strip to cut down on phantom energy use (many electronics still draw some power even when you use their built-in power switch to turn them off).
• Eliminate the 3-D screen savers, which can double the energy use of your computer at rest. And choose dark colors over light, because it takes more energy for the screen to produce light colors.
• With water coolers, turn off the hot tap, and install a timer on the cooling tap.
• Turn off computer speakers when you don't need them.
• Perform manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance of all equipment, including HVAC systems, to ensure optimal operation.
• Tighten up windows and door frames and install weather stripping to reduce energy loss to the outside.

By practicing even just a few of these tips, as well as any others you may know of, you will find that you can reduce your energy expenses and save a lot in the long run. Of course, Olpin Group also has the ability to help you "green" your workspace, just call us to find out how!
