Make the Most of Office Equipment!
According to the Department of Energy, office equipment accounts for 16 percent of an office’s energy use. The use of computers, printers, copiers and fax machines adds up, but simply turning your computer’s sleep mode on when you’re not using it can save energy (screen savers are energy wasters, not savers).
In addition to putting your computer to sleep when you are away:
Turn the machine off when you leave the office for the night.
Activate sleep mode for printers, copiers and fax machines so they’ll sense inactive periods.
Consider consolidating these machines by purchasing a machine that performs multiple office functions.
If you’re looking to purchase new office equipment, look for ENERGY STAR qualified products to cut down energy use.
