You’ll be amazed at how easily you can cut your energy bill and protect the environment for little or no cost.
If your job involves environmental responsibilities as well as management of workplace safety and health programs, you’ll be interested to learn about some simple energy-saving measures developed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
You can implement these measures to cut your costs and improve air quality.
To evaluate the best opportunities for your workplace:
- Track energy bills. You need to know how much you pay for electricity, natural gas, and fuel oil at your facility. (Tip: Understand seasonal changes in your utility bill that can affect your energy-saving actions for heating and cooling.)
- Pinpoint equipment using the most energy. A small portion of equipment usually accounts for the greatest amount of energy consumption. (Tip: Look for large pieces of equipment and equipment that runs most of the time, or equipment that has periodic, but substantial, start-up energy requirements.)
