  • Maximize natural light and turn off unnecessary office lights.
  • Turn off office equipment such as printers, computers, fax machines and the coffee maker at night and when not in use. Adjust power management settings to activate "sleep" mode during periods of inactivity.
  • Keep windows and doors closed to prevent the loss of cooled air. Adjust blinds and window coverings on windows that receive direct sun.
  • Plug all radios, cell phone and mp3 chargers, fans and other personal electronics into a power strip that can be turned off when not in use. These devices draw energy 24/7, even when switched off.
  • Dress comfortably for the weather. Adjust your layers of clothing before adjusting the thermostat.
