-
Install energy-efficient light bulbs in hallway, lobby and
bathroom lighting fixtures. Compact fluorescent bulbs last
10 times as long as incandescent bulbs and use 75 percent
less energy- meaning that one bulb can save you $25 over the
lifetime of the bulb.
-
Reduce
or eliminate the number or wattage of bulbs and lamps in vending
machines and lighted signs. Replace all exit signs with Light
Emitting Diode (LED) exit signs. High-efficiency exit signs
can save $15-$20 in electricity costs when compared with the
typical, incandescent signs.
-
Monitor
the performance of all heating and cooling systems and perform
maintenance as needed. Install high-efficiency heating and
cooling equipment.
-
Use
water-efficient devices like low-flow toilets and faucet aerators
in public bathrooms. Install cloth roll towels or hand dryers.
