Save Power with Genesis for Business

Could your energy use be eating into profits? You’re not alone. EECA’s research shows that businesses typically waste up to 20% of the energy they use and pay for – resulting in higher energy bills, reduced profit, and a less competitive business.

There are many things you can do that are easy and free, and a little more effort will reward you with more savings.

Make immediate tweaks and you’ll start saving straight away.

Ideas to cut down your power use:

• make one person responsible for managing power saving
• regularly maintain equipment, e.g. clean out filters in heating or cooling units
• switch off TVs and monitor screens when you’re not using them, or install timers to switch them off automatically
• insulate ceilings and floors in areas you heat and cool
• wrap your hot water boiler and piping with pipe lagging
• open windows and blinds to make the best use of natural light
• install movement-sensitive sensors and timers so lights only come on when you need them
• change to LED light bulbs
• turn off computers and other equipment when you’re not using them
• check oven and fridge seals to make sure energy isn’t escaping
