Let Energy Solution’s
Office Equipment Efficiency Program
Help Your Office Save Energy

The Bad News:

The coming Summer will bring higher peak electricity prices and added strain on California’s electric system.  Meanwhile, office equipment, along with its associated air conditioning needs, is the fastest growing electricity end use in the commercial sector. 

Much of that energy is consumed unnecessarily, running equipment when it is not in use.  For example, computer monitors are often in use only half the workday.  Energy Star “sleep” settings are often present, but are usually not enabled.  Spending less than 5 minutes to set these computer monitors to “sleep” can save up to 90 percent of their energy use.  Enabling “sleep” settings on a single computer and monitor, along with turning them off at night, can save $100 per year.  

The Good News:

With a few simple measures, your organization can:  cut energy costs now, reduce air conditioning loads, help counter the continuing electricity crisis, and be recognized for contributing to the statewide conservation effort.  Energy Solutions can help – FOR FREE.

How Energy Solutions Can Help:

•	Free technical support – to enable “sleep” mode settings for computer monitors
•	Incentive payments – for in-house enabling of Energy Star settings.
•	Educational literature – for employees so that they can contribute to the savings.
•	Discounts on energy-saving hardware – including “Smart Power Strips” for $10 and 
wall switch lighting controls for $20.
