Energy Conservation Ideas for Your Business

If you have a tip you'd like us to publish here, send them to us through our contact form.


  • If you run a retail location open to the outside, close the door.

  • If you run an office, create a different dress code for summer such as "Suit jackets and ties are not required during warmer temperatures". You can save on air conditioning costs this way.

  • Open blinds or window coverings to heat your building. Close them when air conditioning is on.

  • If you have signage that is on all the time (like exit signs), convert them to LED signs.

  • Purchase an LCD monitor to replace CRT monitors and reduce the power used by at least 50%.

  • If you have a home office or an office with a window, shut your lights off when it's bright outside. Use a single desk lamp if possible when it's darker outside. - Mark Kawabe, The Niagara Guide
