Even if you have low-cost lighting, you still don’t want to use it unnecessarily. You might consider fitting motion sensors in areas that are not in permanent use such as toilets, storerooms and stairwells so the lights are only activated when someone enters the area. Timers and thermostats can help you save on heating costs too. And of course insulation is an important factor in keeping energy costs down – even the most basic draught-proofing around doors and windows can make a difference to your energy bills.
With continuous research and development results being announced across the globe, we keep our eye on emerging technologies like Graphene LEDs which we hope will also create opportunities for energy efficiency. Reducing your energy costs is good for your business and good for the environment. These simple steps can be implemented in almost any environment with very little outlay or disruption, so are well worth considering for your business premises.
