Waste, Water, and Energy-Saving Tips for the Office In connection with our overall mission of energy reduction please help us reduce International Place’s environmental footprint by producing less trash, and by using energy and water more efficiently in the office. Collectively, seemingly small actions can make a big contribution toward slowing climate change. You can begin helping by following these simple, no- and low-cost tips: • Immediately alert building managers to any leaky or broken faucets or running toilets, so they can be promptly fixed. One faucet that leaks one drop per second can waste 2,700 gallons of water per year, and a leaky toilet can waste about 200 gallons of water every day. • Purchase only ENERGY STAR-qualified office equipment, which uses 30-75% less energy than typical equipment. Talk to your office manager about making this a standard policy for your company. • Light office space only when necessary. Use only daylight whenever it is sufficient, and turn off lights in offices and conference rooms that are not occupied. • Blocked vents make ventilation systems work harder and waste energy. Clear the areas near vents of furniture, file cabinets, and stacks of paper. • Dress appropriately for the season. The temperature maintained in the office is lower in the winter than in the summer. This reduces the amount of energy required for heating and cooling, and enhances employee comfort.
