It’s a simple truth: your business needs energy to run. From the lighting in every office, to the computers that keep you connected, every aspect of your company requires electricity to keep going. But that doesn’t mean you have to waste money on excess consumption. Keep track of how much energy you’re using throughout the building with smart technology. When it’s time for a meeting, light up the boardroom and turn on the necessary components, like the video monitors and in-wall audio system, to conduct an informative presentation. When you’re done, turn it all off with the touch of a button so you don’t waste a cent on a space that’s not in use. By monitoring your office’s energy usage, you can keep overhead low without sacrificing performance.

Stay Comfortable with HVAC

A comfortable employee is a more effective employee, and as the days get hotter, you’re employees are going to want to cool off while completing their assignments.

Lower the temperature in the office if someone gets too warm, and raise it in every office that’s not in use.
