To mark World Energy Saving Day on October 21<\/span>, METRICA is highlighting five habits that help conserve resources in our workplace.<\/p>\n

Under the theme \u201cThis Is What Saving Energy Sounds Like,\u201d our video captures the sounds of these actions in an ASMR-inspired format. It\u2019s a way to draw attention to small actions that often go unnoticed but are part of a more mindful workplace culture.<\/p>\n

Why Is Saving Energy in the Office Important?<\/h2>\n

Lighting, heating and cooling, and electronic equipment are all part of an office\u2019s daily operations. Using them efficiently helps reduce unnecessary electricity consumption<\/span>, manage resources more effectively, and reduce the environmental impact associated with that consumption.<\/p>\n

Making progress means combining energy efficiency measures with good everyday habits. Having energy-efficient equipment matters, but so does checking when it\u2019s on, how it\u2019s used, and whether it really needs to stay plugged in.<\/p>\n

World Energy Saving Day is an opportunity to revisit these practices and keep them going throughout the year.<\/p>\n

How to Save Energy in the Office: Five Everyday Actions<\/h2>\n

1. Unplug Laptops Once They\u2019re Fully Charged<\/h3>\n

Checking whether a laptop needs to stay plugged in is a simple way to be more mindful of energy use at your workstation.<\/p>\n

When the battery is fully charged and external power is no longer needed, you can unplug the laptop<\/span>, always following the manufacturer\u2019s recommendations and your IT team\u2019s guidance.<\/p>\n

Power consumption and battery management vary depending on the device and its settings. This habit should therefore be adapted to each device, rather than assuming it delivers a fixed amount of energy savings.<\/p>\n

2. Unplug Devices That Aren\u2019t in Use<\/h3>\n

Some devices consume electricity even when they aren\u2019t being used. This is known as standby power consumption<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Unplugging devices that don\u2019t need to stay connected can help avoid this energy use. Before doing so, make sure they aren\u2019t devices that need to remain operational, such as certain networking, security, or IT infrastructure systems.<\/p>\n

The goal is to identify what needs to stay plugged in and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

3. Make the Most of Natural Light<\/h3>\n

Opening the blinds and letting in natural light can reduce the need for artificial lighting during part of the workday.<\/p>\n

To use it effectively, consider the room\u2019s orientation, screen glare, and everyone\u2019s visual comfort. The key is to use the available light without compromising working conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning off lights in areas that aren\u2019t being used also helps prevent unnecessary energy consumption.<\/p>\n

4. Use Air Conditioning Responsibly<\/h3>\n

Heating and cooling affect office energy consumption. Responsible use helps maintain a comfortable environment without resorting to extreme temperature settings.<\/p>\n
