Energy Efficient Office Saving Tips

Making your office more energy efficient doesn’t just help the environment – it can help your business save money, too! Looking to “green” your space this summer?  Here are a few tips to help you get started.

Energy Saving Tips:

  • Turn Off The Lights – Remember to turn off the lights when you leave the office for the day! This simple task can help you save on your electric bill.

  • Shut Down Your Computers – Don’t just turn off your computer monitor – shut your computer down. Leaving your computer running overnight will waste energy when you’re not in the office.

  • Recycle More – Setting aside a recycling bin for plastic and paper products is an excellent way to make your office more eco-friendly. Call your office building manager to see if they have a recycling program set up for your space or you can bring the recycling on your own. 

  • Schedule An HVAC Tune-Up – Your office air conditioning system might not be your business priority, but it needs a tune-up each year to work efficiently. Regular tune-ups keep your system working efficiently and help to prevent future breakdowns.

  • Change Your Air Filters – Your HVAC air filters be changed during the summer months. When these filters become clogged, your system needs to work harder to push cool; air-conditioned air throughout your office space. By changing these filters, you can help cut down on your office cooling costs.

  • Add Coverings to Your Windows – Curtains or blinds can help control the amount of light (and heat) entering a room. Close the blinds or curtains on hot days to keep the hot summer sun from heating up your office.

  • Turn On Ceiling Fans – While ceiling fans won’t cool the office down, they can help circulate your air-conditioned air and provide a breeze.

  • Switch to Energy Star Light Bulbs – Newer CFL lights cost about 75% less to operate! Make the switch to save on energy in your building space.
