Ways To Save Energy At Your Office

  • Install weather stripping around outer doors and windows, and also around doors between heated and unheated or cooled and regular rooms.    
  • Insulate supply pipes, water heaters and install ceiling and wall insulation where appropriate.
  • Install blinds, and shades to cool the office.
  • Install time clocks or programmable thermostats to turn-off systems when the building is not occupied.
  • Install motion detectors to control lighting in often unoccupied rooms, e.g. toilets.
  • Use task lighting to illuminate the work areas instead of area lighting.
  • If possible, use ink-jet printers – they consume 90% less energy than laser printers.
  • Replace incandescent office signs, such as "EXIT", with LED signs. LEDs use about one-tenth the wattage and last up to 50 times longer than incandescent-lamp signs.
  • Encourage and educate employees to be conscious on energy and to offer ideas about how to save energy.
