Lighting
- Use occupancy sensors to control lighting offices, conference rooms and even whole floors while not in use. These inexpensive devices can reduce lighting costs by up to 40%.
- Use an ENERGY STAR® labeled LED exit sign; it can last up to 25 years and save you almost $25 per year.
- Replace high-use incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights (CFL). CFLs use up to 75% less electricity to produce the same amount of light.
- Dirt can absorb as much as 50% of your lighting, so clean your fixtures on a regular basis.
- Open the shades and enjoy natural light on mild-temperature days.
