The bottom line — good energy management is good business, and adopting an energy management strategy is a business decision you cannot afford to ignore.

Energy Strategy for the Future “Of one thing we can be sure: energy will be more challenging and more important in the future. Will you, and your business, be ready?”— Peter Schwartz, Chairman, Global Business Network   Increasing energy demand, global climate change, and constrained energy supplies are likely to impact how energy affects your business in the future. Is your company prepared for the energy challenges that lie ahead?   A programmable thermostat helps you save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.  Setting temperatures up or down when you are away is an easy way to save energy and money without sacrificing comfort. Go Green by saving Blue -Water Management Plans Reduce Costs.  Water conservation can serve as an integral part of corporate sustainability practices, or the “greening” of a business. Air Seal and insulate with ENERGY STAR. Sealing and insulating the "envelope" or "shell" of your building, its outer walls, ceiling, windows, doors, and floors — is often the most cost effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort. ENERGY STAR estimates that a knowledgeable homeowner or skilled contractor can save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs (or up to 10% on their total annual energy bill) by sealing and insulating.   ENERGY STAR qualified windows, doors, and skylights can reduce your energy bills up to 15% while helping protect the environment. Lighting products that have earned the ENERGY STAR deliver exceptional features, while using less energy. Saving energy helps you save money on utility bills and protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the fight against climate change. Light fixtures that have earned the ENERGY STAR combine quality and attractive design with the highest levels of energy efficiency available today.

Did You Know?

An ENERGY STAR qualified computer delivers substantial savings over a conventional computer. In fact, the lifetime energy savings delivered by an ENERGY STAR qualified desktop with power management features activated can go a long way towards paying the cost of a new computer.  If all computers sold in the US meet ENERGY STAR requirements, the savings in energy costs will grow to more than $1.5 billion each year, reducing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 2 million vehicles.

Earning the ENERGY STAR means products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Desktop, integrated desktop, and notebook (laptop) computers, workstations, small-scale servers, and thin clients are all eligible to earn the ENERGY STAR, and those that do are now more efficient than ever. When purchasing a new computer, choose one that’s earned the ENERGY STAR. You can find the label on the products and packaging as well as in product literature and on websites to make it easy for you to choose.
