3 Tips for Energy Reduction at the Office

If youโ€™ve had an LED retrofit completed, youโ€™re already on the right track to reducing energy consumption in your office. LED lights use as much as 90% less energy than conventional lighting, and last up to five times longer. Even with your energy-efficient LED lighting, though, there are many more ways to improve yourย energy reduction. Try out some of these tips:

Install motion detectors

Turning off lights when theyโ€™re not in use is one way to do things, but itโ€™s easy for someone to forget when theyโ€™re in a rush. Motion detectors that turn your lights off after a specific period with no movement in a room ensure that, no matter what happens, you wonโ€™t come into the office the next morning and find that the light in the copy room has been left on again. Plus, you can still turn the lights off manually.

Install task lighting

Thereโ€™s no need to turn on all the office lights if itโ€™s only one or two desks in use. Due to their small size, bright (and dimmable) lighting, and the fact that they donโ€™t generate heat, LED lights can be installed almost anywhere to provide more efficient lighting up close.

Dim lights to necessary levels:

You donโ€™t need to keep your LED lights on the highest setting. Often, a lower setting is more than enough, especially when spring and summer arrive, if your office receives natural lighting. Dim your LEDs when theyโ€™re too bright, and theyโ€™ll both last longer and save you more on your energy costs.
