Get staff behind your energy programme
Everyone can reduce their energy use as they regularly turn on lights, computers, water taps and drive company vehicles (amongst other things). While these actions may seem small, in industry some staff control processes that can cost millions of dollars in energy each year.
Despite the vast differences in the type and cost of energy controlled by employees, the principles of energy management are similar.
The simplest, cheapest and most obvious way to save energy is to turn off anything that does not need to be on - a simple solution but often overlooked. Savings can be made by better awareness and understanding of the opportunities presented by energy efficiency.
Keep everyone involved and motivated by rewarding initiative, and keep them up to date with progress towards energy goals.
Encourage energy saving suggestions and share the ownership and benefits of your programme.
