Getting started - top tips

For a quick start – here are some top energy saving tips:

Switch off equipment
Leaving a single computer and monitor switched ‘on’ for 24 hours-a-day will cost over £50 a year. Switching it off and using ‘stand-by’ features when you are not using it could reduce this to £15 a year. Doing this may also prolong the lifespan of the equipment.
Good maintenance
Equipment which is poorly maintained will not operate efficiently and will need more energy.
Speak to your colleagues
Make sure everyone knows that saving energy will help the company. Ask your colleagues for their ideas on how you could all save energy. Read more on employee awareness.
