Energy Saving Tips for Commercial Buildings

Commercial Lighting

Turn off the lights: Did you know that lighting accounts for more than 35% of most commercial buildings’ electricity bills. A business building requires security lights to remain on 24/7, be sure to turn off all other lights at the end of the day.Upgrade your bulbs: Upgrade from incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). When you need bright lights in a warehouse setting, metal halides (HIDs) are a good choice, whereas for outdoor security lighting halogen lights are an efficient optionUse timers: Timers detect motion and turn off unwanted things like when space is not occupied so set timers in the bathroom and conference room so they only turn on when someone enters the room.

Computers

Switch to laptops: Thinking of upgrading the computers in your office? there is an, even more, better option -Laptops!! Laptops don’t eat up your space, easy maintenance and employees love the opportunity to take their work computers home with them for occasional telecommuting, and laptops are much more energy-efficient than bulky desktop computers.Use power-saver mode: Did you know that screensavers actually waste energy by keeping the computer active? Change your office desktop settings by disabling screensaver and set their computers to power-saver mode which will help you conserve energy while in use and automatically puts the computer to sleep when left idle for a specified amount of time.Power down: At the end of the day make sure to completely power down the work stations. To make this process more simple, provide each employee with a power strip to plug their computers, speakers, desk lamps, paper shredders and other electronics into. Then powering down is as simple as flipping the switch on the power strip.

Copiers and Printers

Establish a central copy room: Here’s how you combat energy waste – establish a central copy room with just enough equipment to meet the office’s copying and printing needs. By networking the central printer, everyone can conveniently print documents when they need to without each office having its own printer.Choose Energy Star: Upgrade your office equipment to energy Star-qualified copiers and printers. These energy saving copiers and printers perform the same high-quality job while consuming less energy, often with even more features than standard-efficiency models. Energy Star-qualified equipment not only saves energy but also saves your utility billsUse timers: Plug copiers and printers into a timer so they automatically shut off at night and on the weekends when no one’s using them.

Break Room Appliances

Choose smaller, more efficient versions: Believe it or not water coolers and coffeemakers are among an office’s biggest energy hogs. If you’re running a small business, a smaller, household-model coffeemaker should be sufficient.Use timers: To save energy, plug these appliances into timers so they turn off while not in use.Get rid of them: If hardly any of your employees utilize the water cooler or coffeemaker, remove these devices to eliminate their operating costs.For more ideas to make your office more energy efficient, schedule a commercial energy audit with Inlightech’s commercial electricians in Perth.
