Running your own business can be a tough task. After all, you need to make sure you maximize profits while making sure your employees are well-treated. You’ll also need to excel at marketing and keeping your customers and clients happy. All of this can be a huge drain on your resources. If you don’t want to consume too much energy, then keep reading!
Unplug Everything
Make sure you unplug everything when you don’t need them. This is an easy way to start saving electricity. Did you know that even when your devices are idling, they are still consuming power? It’s a lower level, true, but it can make a difference. This also means that appliances in the office kitchen, such as the coffee maker, toaster, and microwave should all be unplugged until the next time they need to be used.
Set the Thermostat
Another suggestion is to set the thermostat. You should be able to schedule the thermostat so that the AC turns on at certain times and turns off again once it reaches a certain threshold. Doing this can help save energy even if it can present a mild inconvenience to your employees. After all, everyone has a different comfort level. But you want to be able to make sure the largest group of people possible are comfortable. Plus, once the business day is over, you can reset the thermostat to a different setting that uses less power until the next day.
Turn Off the Lights
Finally, be sure to turn off the lights. If you turn out the lights when you leave a room at home, why wouldn’t you do the same while at the office? Turning off the lights does more to save power at the workplace than you might imagine. Energy-efficient lighting is another worthwhile investment. LED lights use less energy and can help your employees and guests feel better because their effects aren’t as harmful as fluorescent lights.
