Energy saving tip (no 17)- label your light switches

May 15th, 2010

Large offices with multiple light switches are a classic energy hungry environment. The first person in will turn on all the lights as they have no idea which switch turns on the light over their desk. The lights are likely to remain on all day – even when it’s light and bright inside in late morning and early afternoon.

With lighting accounting for up 40% of your electricity bill a simple label next to each switch can instantly make a difference for little or no cost. It also begins selling an energy saving message encouraging further initiatives by employees.
