Top 10 Energy Efficient Strategies for Property Professionals

• Institute an Energy Awareness Program
  Create promotional items, post posters, write news releases—tell everyone about your commitment to energy savings. Use your company newsletter and company/building announcements to keep tenants informed about your energy saving goals and how they can both help and benefit. Share these energy saving tips with them.
  
  
• Switch Off Overhead and Task Lights when Daylight is Sufficient
  
  
• Clean Windows and Skylights
  Window and skylight cleaning will allow more natural daylight to illuminate work areas, reducing the need for overhead and task lighting.
  
  
• Encourage Tenants to Use ENERGY STAR® Equipment
  Adopt a procurement policy as part of your overall successful energy management strategy and encourage tenants to do the same. The ENERGY STAR label can be found on computers, copiers, external power adapters, fax machines, laptops, monitors, multifunctional devices, printers, scanners, water coolers and more. When you’re finished or ready to upgrade, recycle that equipment.
  
  
• Calibrate Thermostats
  Periodically walk through the building and compare the thermostat setting with a hand-held digital thermometer (preferably one measuring to 2 decimal places). Ensure thermostat setting equals actual space temperature.
  
  
• Adjust Dampers
  Bring in the least amount of air necessary to maintain proper air quality. Reduce outside requirements by adjusting dampers to minimize the need to condition outside air, but be sure to stay within code requirements.
  
  
• Use Work Station Task Lighting
  Direct light where tasks are being performed and use lower wattage for overhead ambient lighting. Consider combining with motion-controlled power strips.
  
  
• Install Occupancy Sensors
  Install occupancy sensors to automatically turn off lights when physical movement stops. This strategy may be specifically effective in spaces that are used infrequently, such as storerooms and conference rooms. Occupancy sensors work not just for lighting, but also for HVAC controls.
  
  
• Convert T12 to T8 and T5
  Re-lamping? Even if you just re-lamped your buildings three years ago, take a lighting survey again. Lighting continuously gets more efficient. Converting to more efficient lamps and ballasts saves total building energy.
  
  
• Encourage Tenants to Turn Off Equipment
  During off hours, be sure to power down everything—such as copiers, kitchen equipment and task lights. Use cleaning/security personnel to turn off miscellaneous items such as coffee pots, kitchen equipment and individual office lights.
