Power saving tips for the office

Finding ways of cutting costs in the office is everyone’s business, and there is nothing more effective than the whole team working together. So the first step is to get everyone on board with your power saving actions in the workplace.

Start to look at what you are using

Can you replace your light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs or LED? You can also protect the equipment in your business by installing a power filter or conditioner. Choose power boards with on/off switches so it’s easier to turn of groups of machines, lights, computers, etc.

Next think about how you use it.

Everyone should think about turning off equipment and lights when not in use. That may include having a chat to building management to make sure that air conditioning, lights and non-essential equipment is turned off overnight. Also, serviced and clean equipment works better and is more efficient.
