Making simple energy-saving changes to improve your efficiency can save you money, plus it’s good for the planet too! On brighter days, switching lights off and allowing natural light in will avoid any wasted energy. This may seem like a small thing to do but if implemented enough throughout the week or month, you will notice the difference!

Offices constantly have appliances running throughout the day, from PC’s, desk fans, radios, and printers – it is easy to see how energy bills are sky high! It’s often a necessity that these items are switched on, however, it can be very costly. If your workplace makes a conscious effort to switch appliances off when not in use, you will be surprised at the energy savings you can make. It can make a huge impact switching to energy-saving light bulbs where possible, for example, changing tube lights to T5 energy-efficient lighting ‘saved £2,282 on the annual energy bill and 8.52 tonnes of CO2 emissions’.

Companies are introducing measures wherever possible to keep energy bills low, whilst maintaining a reputable carbon footprint and a “green” image. To counterbalance energy price increases we must try to prevent heat loss in industrial and commercial environments.  The two main ways to do this: Insulate and then protect.
