| Business Energy Tips - Business Equipment
Copiers, Printers & Faxes
These are generally left on day and night consuming more energy than you may think. Most modern equipment has a standby feature, which you should ensure is activated to reduce the energy usage when not in use. Out of hours you could also consider using timers to turn off larger copiers and printers, as these devices still consume valuable electricity when in standby mode.
Computers
Left on, computers will cost your business a lot of money when not in use. Ensure the power saving features are all activated, so that the monitor and computer both go into standby mode after a certain amount of inactivity. Additionally ensure your staff turn computers off when they leave for the day. When purchasing new computers also consider whether a laptop could be a better option than a desktop computer. In addition to increasing productivity, laptops consume less energy than their desktop counterpart. |
