Green OfficeA person spends a lot of time at his work place. It has been estimated that offices and work places consumes one third of the total energy consumption of a city. It also is a major source of energy wastage. These can overcome if we go green at office also by following some easy methods:

Try to take advantage of the natural light and air. Make it possible to use the most of the sunlight during the day time.

Keep the air-conditioning at a normal temperature instead of lowering the temperature too much.
Computers in the office consume a big chunk of electricity. Set your computer in the hibernate mode. This will save unnecessary wastage of electricity. Before going home don’t forget to switch off the computer as well the power strip where it is connected. The monitors, computers and printers etc should be of energy saving models. This will ensure huge savings at long run.

Being print smarter is also a big way to go green. Print only the necessary data, rest send as email if possible. Use recycled papers for printouts. Use the discarded or used papers to write drafts etc.
