Monday - Act on Energy
9th May 2011
Encourage measures to reduce energy consumption in your company. This can be as simple as ensuring that lights are turned off in areas that are not in use or that computers and peripherals, etc., are not left on when not needed. It really is as simple as that.
Did You Know? One third of office workers don't turn off their computers when not in use.

Today's Tips
Tip 1:
Use window blinds to reduce the temperature in offices from direct sunlight
Tip 2:
Turn the heating thermostat down by 1 degree and watch your annual heating bull come down by as much as 10%
Tip 3:
Use natural ventilation in preference to air conditioning. Simply open a window! If necessary, use an electric fan instead of air conditioning when temperatures rise.
Tip 4:
Turn off computers when not in use, especially overnight and during weekends (but check first with your IT manager that no essential maintenance work needs to be done overnight!)
Tip 5:
Switch to energy saving light bulbs ad switch off lights during daylight
