Ways to save

The top ways to save energy are often some of the simplest:

• Unplug or turn off lights and other equipment when they aren't being used.
• Set back or lower temperatures for heating equipment and raise temperatures for air-conditioning equipment.
• Review your operations and use timers, sensors and programmable setback thermostats to control lighting and other equipment, especially during on-peak hours. Consider shifting some operations to off-peak hours or scheduling routine equipment tests during off-peak hours.
• Clean and maintain heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment regularly. Good maintenance practices can save up to 15% of system energy use and prolong equipment life.
• Invest in new, energy-efficient equipment and technologies to reduce your energy use and increase your productivity, convenience and comfort. Look for ENERGY STAR^® ratings for appliances and office equipment. Consider adjustable speed drives to improve motor operations and reduce power demands.
