Are energy savings still In fashion?
Sky-high energy costs may have faded from the headlines, but saving energy is still in fashion. Like basic black, energy saving methods are always in style and match every situation.

In this case, being fashionable isn’t expensive. Here are three ways you and your staff can save energy without spending a dime:

  • Turn off computers at night, and turn off the monitor whenever you will be away from your desk, or set up the Energy Star power saving options.
  • Make sure lights get turned off at night or when meeting rooms and offices are vacant. See that your custodial staff use only the lights they acutally need.
  • Keep thermostat settings around 70 degrees for heating and 75 degrees for cooling.

For detailed information about reducing your electric bill without a big investment, download the Energy Smart Operations booklet call the business energy experts at 484-1125.
