See Where Your Energy Dollar Goes

The chart below highlights the biggest energy users for Commercial Office Buildings.

Large Office Building

This chart shows where the most energy is used in a typical large commercial building. Lighting and HVAC account for over 60% of energy use*.

Consider the following energy saving tips

Replace T12 fluorescent lamps and magnetic ballasts with T8 or T5 tubes.

Install occupancy sensors in general usage areas so that lights turn on only when the area is occupied and automatically turn off when the area is not.

Clean lamps, reflectors, and diffusers regularly to maintain maximum illumination levels.
