Top 10 Energy-Saving Opportunities
What are some key operational changes facility managers should consider in order to save energy?
I have a list of ten we suggest to facility managers:
1. Retrocommissioning
2. Pick the low-hanging fruit – tax incentives and energy grants
3. Learn to read a utility bill – understand the rules of the game
4. Paper conservation
5. Don’t be in hot water – lower DHW temps
6. Stop burning the midnight oil – turn off lights at night automatically
7. Delamp overlit spaces – there are many opportunities in most buildings
8. Cool It! - reduce thermostat temps in winter, raise in summer
9. Stop flushing money down the drain – water conservation
10. Go to sleep – put your computer monitors to sleep when unused
