What are the most energy-efficient products for your office?

My dog Mona is particularly energy efficient. She sits curled up snoozing and the customers LOVE it. They pat her and get a lot of joy

The challenge is not just about the products but how we use our products. While it makes a lot of sense to identify and have energy efficient products it may not be an ideal situation if behaviour change is not addressed. Education and re education on the need to use energy efficient products is important so that it becomes everyone's business to make the office space energy efficient. Smart offices rely on technology for sustainability. Technology if not used with intent and passion to contribute to the benefit of the planet can never be a solution.

1) Switch to LED lights - it’s a no-brainer, 2) For conference rooms have motion sensors to detect presence else auto switch in x minutes (with manual override), 3) drive employee awareness to ensure best practices in switching off lights, projectors, split-ACs while exiting meeting rooms, 4) In parallel, infrastructure and IT teams should have auto cut-offs and sleep mode activated in all devices.

Led lights connected to roof top solar is a great combination for Environmental Sustainability and we connect 3 -4 other dots in the circuit it will serve even bigger purpose to solve. Infact there arw many grids of environment which we normally use in fragmented way.. The first n foremost is water, which needs to be conserved as much as possible, then we should create greenary by planting tree n growing it to increase the green cover...both wster n tree goes together. Then comes the Solar power adundantly available to be tapped for energy purposes and we all are very good at creating waste, n no one is reafy to beleive that waste is a resource which can be reused for various purposes....when all these things are there it creates richness

In the workspace is a "must" having led IOT systems. When there is a lot of natural light they just simply go off and when light conditions demand they go on a sustained level, taking into consideration that most of the time we are in front of a screen and not much light is needed. Being this said sensors an AI controlled devices make optimal energy working environments. Also, the color plays a big part on the scene. Energy is a print that has to be managed with all our human might and knowledge.

“Google runs some the world’s largest data centers.They are extremely energy-intensive, supplying power to 100k servers while also keeping them cool.Humans typically control the cooling towers, and other equipment that keep data centers at the right temperature.They wanted to see whether machine learning could be used.They took years of historical data on data centers’ computing load, sensor readings, and environmental factors like temperature and humidity.They used this information to train a set of neural networks to control all of the cooling equipment.After the system was deployed, energy used fell 40% and the overhead associated with this energy use improved by 15%.”(Wharton, University of Pennsylvania). Take the money and be green!

Productos Energy Star que cumplen con los estandares de eficiencia energetica de la EPA y el Departamento de Energia de USA. Uso de iluminacion LED, analisis de la facturacion del proveedor de energia con oportunidades de mejora para implementar.

It is important to bear in mind that most electrical appliances work on depicted EPA rating only when these are operated on energy saving mode.

I was doing a tax return in the US and was amazed about the tax credits you can get when you improve your energy profile consumption specifically in MD. If you improve the insulation, place solar panels, do a solid effort in making a more sustainable world then you have a clean tax cut. So, take it it’s a matter of self-consciousness and just bein simple and happier.

Um einen Beitrag zur Klimaneutralit?t zu leisten, setzt unser Team auf eine eigene Solar- und Photovoltaikanlage mit integriertem Speicher. Auch als Privatperson kann man seinen Beitrag leisten und sogar Kosten sparen - beispielsweise kann man Solarpanele auf seinem Balkon anbringen und diese für den Eigengebrauch nutzen.
