ACTIONS: Workplace energy use
Where you may find energy savings depends on the type of workplace, but nearly every worksite can be more energy-efficient.
- Upgrade and maintain HVAC equipment.
- Install renewable energy technology, such as solar, wind, or geothermal power, on site.
- Power down computers, printers, and other equipment when they’re not in use. Use smart power strips to eliminate energy vampires.
- Use energy-efficient equipment in manufacturing, and keep it well-maintained.
- Use LED lighting, and install motion sensors where rooms are used intermittently.
- Conduct periodic energy audits, and publish the results.
