Tips at the Office

• Be sure to always turn the equipment and lights off after hours.
• Unplug coffeemakers, toasters and microwaves before shutting the office down at the end of the day, weekends or holidays.
• Take advantage of the sun. Open shades and blinds during daylight hours. Let the sun heat and light your space naturally; shade it when it's hot, of course. In the winter, close your blinds and drapes in the evening.
• Whenever possible, choose ENERGY STAR qualified products.
• Take the time to set the energy-saving features on all of your office equipment to put them into sleep mode when not in use.
• Shut off all "the nice to have's" such as outside advertising billboards and signage, decorative fountains, pools and waterfalls.
• Dress comfortably for the weather. Adjust your layers before adjusting the thermostat.
• Use revolving doors to access entrances. It keeps cool/hot air inside.
• Keep entrance doors closed.
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
