Reducing the amount of electricity you use at work will not only save your company money, it will also make a difference to the greenhouse gas emissions produced by power generators.

Lighting

The simplest ways to reduce artificial lighting costs are to:

• use natural light as much as possible
  
  
• turn off the lights that aren't needed.

Equipment

With equipment, you'll save power by:

• turning off the machine when you're not using it
  
  
• cleaning and maintaining equipment regularly
  
  
• replacing inefficient parts or machines
  
  
• checking air hoses and compressors for leaks.
