ENERGY CONSERVATION TIPS

We still need to conserve energy! YOU can make a difference. Here's some conservation tips on how you can help:

Lighting

• Turn off lights in unoccupied rooms.

• Turn off unnecessary overhead lighting where more than one light switch exists.

• Task lighting typically uses more energy than overhead lighting. Avoid using both at the same time.

• Dim lights where dimmers are available.

Appliances

• Limit the use of small appliances, such as heaters, fans, and desk fountains. Battery operated appliances are a great option.

• Turn off coffee pots by noon daily.

Office Equipment

• Use email as an alternative for copying or faxing documents, whenever possible.

• Activate the energy saving or "sleep" mode on computers and copiers.

• Use laptop computers and ink jet printers, if available, since they use 90% less energy than desktop and laser printers.

• Turn off office equipment such as personal computers, monitors, printers, and copiers at the end of the day and when not needed for an extended period (2 hours or more.)

Other (Miscellaneous)

• Limit use of passenger elevators by using stairs when possible.

• Close drapes and blinds to keep heat/cold out.
