I am glad to share info on energy consumption in my very first post.

If you take a close-up look at your facilities, you’ll discover that energy is being wasted in ways you didn’t realize.

Nice post on this by Leah B.Garris, though its a old one but still will be useful for us to follow and save energy. I have listed the

11 points below, for details you can visit the www.buildings.com/ArticleDetails/tabid/3321/ArticleID/5656/Default.aspx  

  • Leaving Electronics & Appliances turned on
  • Dirty Filters
  • Dripping Faucets
  • Unnecessary Vending Machine Cooling & Lighting
  • Cleaning at Night
  • Dirty Windows and Skylights
  • Not Optimizing Equipment Startup Time & Sequencing
  • Thermostat mounted in wrong locations
  • Exhaust Fans that run all the time
  • Covering up vents, grilles etc
  • Incandescent exit signs

Anything more to add to the list?

 Happy Facilities Management,
