  • Shutdown your computer.
    • Computers are some of the biggest energy users in office buildings. Turn your monitor off at night and ditch the screensaver. Today's computers can be turned on and off over 40,000 times. Opting to shut down over using a screensaver does not affect your computer's lifespan.

The aviation industry accounts for 8% of the energy consumed by transportation. Air transport has high energy consumption levels, linked to high speeds. Fuel is the second most important cost for the air transport industry accounting for 13-20% of total expenses. Technological innovations, such as more efficient engines and better aerodynamics, have led to a continuous improvement of the energy efficiency of each new generation of aircraft.]]> 2020-04-26 17:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/luciaajin/elud1axzlsz78gvt/wish/531544387 Energy efficiency luciaajin https://padlet.com/luciaajin/elud1axzlsz78gvt/wish/531545910 Over the entire life cycle of a building is the most important goal of sustainable architecture.

  • Purchasing power. Switch supplier for a better deal. Monitor consumption every month. The government is set to introduce renewable heat incentives next year - subsidies for generating renewable heat - which could help offset future energy costs.

  • Solar gains.  If your windows are already due for refurbishment then explore all the options. There are many different glazing types. There are also cheaper alternatives. Could you use window blinds to keep the heat out rather than turn on your desk fan? Many modern buildings lose heat, so improve insulation.
