When you are a business owner, it is all about the bottom line. If there is an area that you can cut costs, there aren’t many business owners that won’t want to take it. One area that many business owners or building managers don’t realize they can cut back on is their energy consumption. Simon Electric is here to talk about ways that you can conserve energy and cut back usages in your commercial building.
Energy Saving Light Bulbs & Efficient Lighting Systems
If it has been a while since the lighting has been looked at in your building, there are likely going to be some areas that could use some work. The first thing you want to think about is switching to LED lighting if you haven’t done that already. This is worth the investment in the long run as you will save a significant amount of energy using them. While they may be more expensive upfront, you can see as high as 60% savings on your energy bill when you make the switch. Not to mention, you will see they last much longer than incandescent lighting as well as other types of lighting. Another way you can upgrade your lighting is to install motion censored lighting in several areas of the building so that they are only on when someone is in the room and in need of light.
Check Power Management Automation System Regularly
When you take advantage of power management automation, you can have your printers, office computers and other equipment set at the most energy efficient modes available to their model. Is there anything better than setting up your electrical systems in your building with power management automation? As simple as this is, you shouldn’t just set it and walk away entirely. This system should be checked on a regular basis. Sometimes these controls can get reset or overrun somehow which can throw everything off. You may be losing money to energy if this has happened and gone unnoticed.
HVAC Maintenance
The heating and cooling costs that come with a commercial building can really add up. These systems should be regularly maintained and updated when necessary. Without proper maintenance, these systems can drain your bank account in energy expenses. You can also save money with a digital thermostat to keep your building at an even temperature.
