Easy Ways to Save Energy at the Office
The electric bill is one of the many expenses that business owners have. Fortunately, there are several things that can be done to save energy, which will reduce your electric bill. Below are some easy ways to save energy at the office.
Educate Employees
Often employees feel their employer can afford to pay a few dollars more for the electric bill. They might be saving energy at home but still waste it at work. Educate employees about protecting the environment, going green and the role they can play in helping out at work. Let them know it goes beyond saving money. Plus, money saved on utilities can be used toward other things that could benefit the employees.
Make Sure Lights Are Turned Off When They Are Not In Use
Everyone should turn off lights when they are not being used but often they forget to do it. This is one of the simplest things that can be done to save money energy. You may also want to consider having motion sensors or timers installed in order to save money.
Switch To Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs
More and more businesses are choosing to use compact fluorescent light bulbs. Even though compact fluorescent light bulbs cost more than the incandescent ones, they can help you save a lot of money over time. Compact fluorescent light bulbs use significant less energy than incandescent light bulbs. They also last a lot longer than incandescent light bulbs. Over time, a change like this can make a major difference in the amount of energy your business saves.
Programmable Thermostats
Your HVAC system most likely uses more energy than anything else in your office. That is why you may want to consider using programmable thermostats. You can adjust the temperate on your thermostat to where it is automatically lower or higher during the times when no one is in the office. You can also adjust to where it turns off when on one is at the office. The office may be a little bit uncomfortable when you come in the morning, but you will be able to save a lot of energy and money.
Recycle Paper
Don't crumple scrap paper in a ball and play basketball with the waste containers! Instead, you should encourage your employees to recycle as much as possible. You may also want to configure your office copy machine to where it prints on both sides of the page. Additionally, you should encourage your employees to use scrap paper to take notes. It can even be ripped in half or quarters to use for jotting down quick messages.
