Just switch off.
With such a rate of increase in energy consumption in office buildings, it is not surprising that there are extremely high potential savings in this area. The experts at the Fraunhofer Institute speak of more than 50%, which is already a very nice board. But where are these potentials? The biggest spendthrift is surely the lighting, which alone accounts for 35% of the electricity consumption. A lot can be done here: use of daylight, an emergency lighting or energy-saving LED lights can be used at night. Another focus is on office equipment such as copiers, printers, fax machines and shredders, which also require quite a lot of energy in standby mode. Therefore, you should be turned off when not in use and do not run 24 hours a day. In addition, it is useful to use particularly energy-efficient devices, such as the Dahle document shredders. There is still a lot to be done in the area of heating and ventilation, for example by reducing room temperature, intelligent window systems, modern heating systems and regular maintenance of the air-conditioning systems. So you see, there are a lot of ways to save energy in the office without having to change the whole office. So: Do not hold on, think about it and think about energy efficiency.
