You can save money not only within your own four walls.
1. Tip – Foot switch
It makes sense to put unused appliances into stand-by mode or switch them off completely. So that you don‘t have to crawl under the desk, there are power strips with foot switches.
2. Tip – Combination units
With a combination device that can be shared via WLAN in the network, you can share the device with other employees. This saves space and energy because it is a printer, copier, scanner and fax all in one. Always remember to print texts in black and white mode.
3. Tip – LED lights
An LED lamp requires up to 90 % less energy than an incandescent bulb. If the daylight is sufficient for working, you can switch off the light.
4. Tip – Monitors
Adjust the brightness of your screen to the ambient light! About 25 percent darker means about 15 % less electricity ‒ and even without loss of comfort.
5. Tip – Heating energy & water
You should make sure that doors and windows in the office are closed as soon as the heating is turned on. This way, the generated heat actually stays in the room. Remember to turn down the heating as soon as you leave your workplace for the evening.
6. Tip – Video conference
If you meet by video conference, expensive travel to and from the meeting can be avoided. This way, almost everything can be discussed in a climate-neutral way in the team!
