Lights

One of the single largest components of your electricity bill is lighting. Only using the lights when necessary is a good way to cut down on wasted electricity and conserve electricity. We don’t mean that you should all work in the dark, but instead of leaving lights on when you don’t need them, make it company policy to switch them off.

Installing motion activated lights can be a good idea if you have the budget for it, as it will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Computers

It’s now pretty much impossible to work without them, but computers do sap up a lot of your electricity. As a result, you need to make sure that these are fully switched off when not in use, instead of simply in standby mode. This can save a lot of electricity and also help you cut down on your expenditure.

Temperature control

If you have an office that uses electric radiators, or air conditioning, you will be paying out a lot of electricity money for the privilege. In terms of electric radiators, you should make sure that these are thermostatically controlled so that they automatically switch off when the temperature reaches a certain point. This will save you a lot of electricity, as they will no longer be left on all day, wasting fuel.
