Heating (and cooling)**  - Heating costs can increase by over 30% if your boiler is not properly maintained, so be sure to service your boiler annually. - Use a seven day timer so heating can be turned off or down during regular unoccupied periods. - Reducing heating temperatures by just 1c can cut fuel consumption by 8%. - Don’t let heating and cooling operate at the same time! Set a temperature control ‘dead band’ so heating switches off when the temperature reaches 19c and cooling doesn’t start until the temperature exceeds 24c.

A photocopier left on overnight uses enough energy to make over 5,000 A4 copies!  **Lighting** - Newer ‘high frequency’ fluorescent lighting eliminates flicker and hum, extends lamp life and can reduce power consumption by around 25%. - Consider installing more switches for greater control over banks of lights. - Without regular maintenance, light levels can fall by up to 30% in 2-3years. Establishing a basic lighting maintenance programme can reduce costs by up to 15% - while improving office appearance.
