How many hours of power do we waste?
Research shows that many business premises are empty for 72% of the year.[1] There are 168 hours in a week, but most premises are only used for 50-60 hours.
Despite this, lots of machines and appliances are left on standby when nobody is around. When you leave something on 24 hours a day, it can add up to 6,000 hours a year of wasted power.
This represents a very easy opportunity to cut energy costs.
Ensuring that all appropriate equipment is completely turned off after-hours is an easy way to reduce your energy bills and boost your bottom line.
Take this tip home: When it comes to standby power, think of what you leave on at home: microwaves, TV set, the DVD player, set-top box, WiFi and more. You can easily switch off and save money there too.
