10 Ways You Can Help Make Houston THE Energy Conservation Capital
- Adopt the use of energy-efficient low mercury compact fluorescent or
LED light bulbs.
- Keep electronic files instead of paper files.
- Hibernate/turn off/unplug all computers and peripherals when not in
use. Or use a “smart” power strip that senses when appliances are off
and cuts phantom energy use.
- Encourage your company to participate in the EPA’s ENERGY STAR
and Green Light programs.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Make sure that bulbs, fixtures, lenses, lamps and reflective surfaces
are cleaned regularly. By removing dust and other debris, you can
increase the output of your lights.
- Specify ENERGY STAR office equipment.
- Promote good energy practices at work.
- Take advantage of natural daylight: turn off the lights when adequate
sunlight is available to illuminate office space.
- Turn off the lights whenever you leave your office.
