Conserving energy can help your office or business operate in the best interest of the planet and save on costs. Here are 3 simple techniques to make your office green and save money over time.
- Turn out the lights. When you leave a room lit by incandescent or halogen lighting be sure to turn out the lights if the room is not in use. If the room is lit with CFL or LED lighting turn the lights off when you will be out for longer than 15 minutes. Depending on the lighting type you can save money on bulb replacement and energy costs.
- Fix leaky faucets. According to the EPA a leaky faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year.
