Review these best practices and ask yourself:

• Are we already doing this?

• Could this be a future improvement?

These examples highlight proven ways to reduce energy use and operate more sustainably:

• Maintain Equipment – Regularly service HVAC systems, coolers, and machines to reduce energy waste. Well-maintained equipment runs more efficiently.

• Set Water Heater to 120°F – A small change that saves both energy and money.

• Cool More Efficiently – Use window film, blinds, or ceiling fans to ease the load on air conditioning.

• Use Renewable Energy – Install solar panels or purchase renewable energy to cut emissions and show leadership.

• Get an Energy Audit – Find out where your energy losses are and plan for improvements.

• Track Your Usage – Monitor annual energy use to spot trends and set future goals.

• Improve Building Standards – Is your building LEED-certified or built to green standards? Energy-efficient buildings are better for people and the planet.

• Seal Leaks – Close gaps in doors, windows, and cooler gaskets to prevent energy loss.

• Switch to Rechargeable Batteries – Reduce waste and energy use with this simple change.

• Use Smart Thermostats – Automate heating/cooling when no one’s around to save energy effortlessly.

• Power Down Devices – Put electronics to sleep after 15 minutes and shut them off overnight.

• Upgrade Lighting – Use LEDs, motion sensors, and smart strips to save energy. Turn off unneeded lights after hours.
