The days are long past that energy was so
cheap you could afford to waste it. Now,
financial and environmental concerns have
made saving energy a priority for every
business. When done right, you can expect
to achieve a savings of 20 to 30 percent off
your current monthly utility bill, with minimal investment.
Getting started on saving can be as
simple as making employees aware that
energy efficiency is a priority for your
company. Employees who regularly turn
off lights and computers at home don’t
bring that same mindset to work. By
recruiting employees to help manage
your company’s energy usage, you can
start to save money.
“When considering energy efficiency,
the savings don’t stop within altering
actions within a facility,” says Brian
Falony, director of marketing, Habif,
Arogeti and Wynne LLP, a 350-employee
accounting firm. “By allowing employees to work from home part time, you’ll
save on operational costs, and they’ll be
happy to save their fuel.”
