Study Notes
Green Practices in Lighting
- Utilize natural light to minimize energy consumption by opening window shades and clearing obstructions.
- Opt for energy-efficient bulbs, particularly fluorescent lamps, to reduce electricity usage when natural light is unavailable.
- Promote the rule that the last person leaving a room should turn off the lights to encourage energy conservation.
- Consider installing timers for lights to ensure they are used only when needed.
- Always turn off lights when exiting a room; motion sensors in low-traffic areas can automate this process.
- Adjust lighting angles to improve efficiency; proper angles can reduce the need for additional lighting.
Energy Efficiency of Office Equipment
- Office equipment can consume over 20% of total office energy, and in some instances, up to 70%.
- Making informed purchasing decisions regarding office equipment can lead to significant energy savings.
- Avoid unnecessary power usage by waiting to turn on computers until they are needed; personal computers consume significant energy when powered on unnecessarily.
