Awareness Campaigns:
Promoting power-saving awareness among staff fosters a
culture of mindful energy usage and encourages behavioural
changes that contribute to sustainability.

Smart Building Technologies:
Implementing innovative building technologies, such as
building automation systems, to optimise energy use by
adjusting lighting, heating, and cooling based on occupancy
and environmental conditions.

Cutting Standby Power:
Technologies can be employed to completely disconnect
power to non-essential devices like printers, computers, and
TV monitors, which continue to consume electricity even in
standby mode.

Energy-Efficient Appliances:
Transitioning to devices with energy efficiency ratings of 3
ticks or higher ensures long-term reductions in electricity
consumption.
