Energy Savings

Power is easily wasted through inefficient building design, poor weather stripping, and inefficiencies in a electrical power system.

Here's some tips to immediatley reduce consumption

Turn off lights when not in use

Lights should be turned off whenever an area is unoccupied, If your lights can be controlled separately, turn off lights whenever there is enough natural light. Post reminders next to light switches or install occupancy sensors to keep lights off in unused areas. Occupancy sensors turn off lights automatically when space is unoccupied saving about 25% of the lighting energy.

Use task lighting when appropriate Instead of using ceiling fixtures that light entire rooms, use compact fluorescent task lighting.

Replace lamps before they lose effectiveness The light output of a fluorescent lamp decreases as it ages, yet the same amount of energy is consumed to produce this lower level of light.

If your lighting system is more than 10 or 15 years old, consider an updated lighting design. remove lamps that are not needed. Many lighting systems are over-designed, providing too much light for the task. This is inefficient and can make the working space uncomfortable. In some cases, lamps or whole lighting fixtures can be removed or retrofitted without creating lighting problems (de-lamping), although this may create uneven lighting in the working environment.
