I want to save energy at work

    Other Ideas
    Purchase energy-saving models of office appliances and equipment, such as EnergyStar-approved computers, LCD monitors, printers and photocopiers. Not only will this help save energy, but it will save money too. Design for lighting intensity of 1.0 watts per square foot or less. Over-lighting wastes energy and produces glare.

    Install lighting controls to turn lights on only when needed and to provide the required amount of light.

    Encourage staff to commit to taking alternative modes of transportation for their daily commute at least once a month. This can include options such as car-pooling, cycling, taking public transit or walking where possible. Visit Go Green to help your company reduce vehicle trips to the workplace.

    Reduce your staff's environmental impacts from air travel by using video-conferences for meetings. Create a recycling program and decrease paper use.

    If you have a fleet of vehicles, try to use the most energy-efficient models possible.
