Are you wondering what to do to reduce energy consumption in your office building by making better use of your office equipment? GreenBuilding team is here to support you! Make a note of the following 7 tips and you will measure significant energy savings.
- Tip 1 - Choose laptops instead of desktops
Laptops typically consume less energy compared to desktops, so keep this in mind! This can save 80-90% of your electrical cost!
- Tip 2 - Switch off all printers, scanners, microwaves, air conditioners, coffee vending machines during weekends or holidays
Appliances left on standby still use up to 50% of the energy they use when in operation, and appliances continue to draw power even if they’re just plugged in.
- Tip 3 - Replace your old devices with new ones
Energy-efficient devices cost more in advance, but based on the life cycle costing, they save money and energy.
- Tip 4 - Choose an inkjet printer instead of a laser printer
Inject printer consumes 90% less energy than a laser printer.
- Tip 5 - Use energy-saving setting if applicable
Use it as default!
- Tip 6 - Set up a maintenance schedule
Well-maintained equipment is more efficient and lasts longer!
- Tip 8 - Go paperless
Print only when necessary. Extra tip: Add any documents you want to share with others to a shared drive instead of printing out a copy!
Stay tuned and worry about energy consumption and we will offer you the solutions!
