Four ways to sink electricity costs in the office
Auch nach dem Abschalten ziehen viele Geräte noch Strom. Mit ein wenig Aufmerksamkeit können Sie in Ihrer Abteilung Kosten senken.
1 Unplug
See if your company will agree to having a switch installed that turns off all equipment at the mains. The savings could be enormous.
2 Switch off your monitor
Remind your colleagues: if they are going to be away from their desks for any length of time, they should switch off their monitors.
3 Change system controls
Adjust the system controls of your computer (at ‘Systemsteuerung’) so it uses less electricity.
4 Buy sensibly
When it’s time to buy new electrical equipment, make sure it is energy-saving. In Germany, look out for the Energy Star or the GED-Energielabel. You can find energy-saving office equipment on the internet at www.energiesparende-geraete.de.
