The energy industry saw two significant price rises in 2018 alone, so we’ve compiled five must-see ways to reduce your energy costs.

Power Down Computer & Other Office Equipment
If computers are not being used when your staff aren’t working, have your team get into the habit of shutting them down before they leave?
Turning off and unplugging as many devices as possible at the end of the day is a simple way to cut back costs. This includes similar appliances such as coffee/tea makers, water coolers and so forth – just by turning these off when you leave the office could save you hundreds of pounds per year.
Turn Off Lights When Not in Use
It might seem obvious, but typically lights stay on in areas such as bathrooms, conference rooms or break rooms, as well as spaces that aren’t being used.
Something as simple as a sign above a light switch, advising people to “please switch off light after use’ can ensure that wasted energy is reduced, and bills are lowered as a result.
Reduce Peak Demand
In the UK, typical normal office hours are 9am to 5pm. You could reduce your demand of energy during this time by staggering work hours and start times.
Using energy for heavy machinery or factory equipment in the evenings and early hours means you conserve energy throughout the day. Conserved energy means reduced energy costs.
Programme Your Thermostats
Even if your team’s hours of work vary, using programmable or smart thermostats to manage temperature during non-office hours can make a big difference.
Don’t forget, you don’t need to heat or cool a workplace after everyone has gone home – something as simple as a reduced temperature out of hours can save money on your energy bills each month.
