- Switch off all lights when they’re not in use – especially at night and on weekends and holidays.
- Turn off all IT equipment and other electrical appliances when not in use.
- Make sure you switch off all electrical items at the power point when not in use for extended periods.

- Make sure your heating and cooling are not set too hot or too cold.
- Walk, ride a bike or take public transport to work.
- Teleconference rather than make unnecessary trips.
