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.
