There are many ways we have worked to reduce our environmental impact in line with out environmental policies.
Investing in LCD Monitors - The average flat screen (LCD) will use 50% less energy than an equivalent average conventional (CRT) monitor. [1]
Building Insolation - By improving the insolation of our offices we have reduced our heating requirements.
Decentralize - Having applications run on workstations and not from a server reduced electricity requirements.
Powering Off Machines - When not needed to be left on we try and ensure we turn off what machinery we can to reduce energy consumption.
Sleep/Energy Saving Mode - Utilizing Energy Saving Mode on PCs and equipment is important, it is not always possible to completely turn something off between uses but this reduces energy requirements.
Low Power Products - By buying Energy Star products we can guarantee a good energy efficiency rating.
Curtains - By having curtains we can reduce heating needed during the day by helping to retain the heat through the night.
Low Energy Bulbs - Fluorescent tube lighting is generally far more efficient with energy than incandescent lights tend to be. [2]
Boil what is needed - Only boiling the amount of water needed and not filling a kettle.
Recycle Waste Paper - Redundant prints or misprints are all set aside and taken to recycle plants where the paper is pulped and reused.
