According to a report from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), 50% of the energy consumed by the services sector is consumed in buildings intended for offices. This means 40% of energy consumption worldwide which results in large-scale pollutant emissions in our environment.
Endolla Barcelona continues to work to reduce CO₂ emissions putting the Endolla charging-point network at your disposal and enabling sustainable mobility for getting to work.
To keep on looking after the planet from the office, we’d like to give you a few tips on achieving energy efficiency.
Energy saving and the importance of sustainability in companies
An energy saving plan in a company aims to establish a series of measures to raise awareness among people about using energy responsibly.
As with recycling, energy and resource saving depends on our individual actions. The main aim is to identify the company's tasks and areas that use the most energy and resources.
Energy-saving techniques
Energy consumption is essential for carrying out our daily work. The important thing is to keep this consumption at appropriate levels. Implementing some of these actions will help us to achieve it.
1. Keeping the lights switched off in the work spaces we aren't using.
2. Making the most of natural lighting and avoiding switching on lights.
3. Using low-consumption lights to reduce energy use.
4. Keeping the air-conditioning systems’ filters clean. That way we can guarantee the air that comes out is optimal.
5. Disconnecting equipment that's not being used (photocopiers, printers, etc.)
6. Using the stairs to go up or down floors, instead of lifts.
7. Informing staff of the benefits their actions bring to our planet.
Energy-saving measures in offices, a sustainable work place
Whether our office is energy efficient will depend to a great deal on how correctly we use the office's lighting and air-conditioning systems and electrical equipment. It's up to us to make it possible.
With these small, everyday actions, any office can become a sustainable place.
