Having energy efficient technology is great! But, only if it’s working as intended.
Perform monthly maintenance of heating and cooling equipment to ensure that:
• HVAC filters are changed or cleaned every month during peak cooling or heating season. Dirty filters cost more to use, overwork the equipment, and result in lower indoor air quality.
• Evaporator and condenser coils on heat pumps, air-conditioners, or chillers are being cleaned. Dirty coils inhibit heat transfer; keeping coils clean saves energy.
• Compressed air systems are free of leaks and are set to appropriate pressure levels.

Unplug electronics when you’re away from
work for extended periods of time –
or anytime you’re not actively using them.
Be sure to unplug equipment, computers,
monitors, photocopiers and appliances
when they are not in use. At the end of
the day, do a quick walk-around and
unplug appliances like coffee makers
and kettles!
Even better: Use a smart powerbar!
They work to reduce your power usage
by automatically shutting down power
to products that go into standby mode.
Fight phantom electricity.
Did you know that most electronics still consume
energy even if they’re turned off?
