Tenant Tips

• Re-use scrap paper (shred for packing material, create notepads, use as draft paper in the copier/printer)
• Print double sided to conserve paper
• Stand-by computers and shut off monitors when not in use
• Unplug all possible devices when not in use (they still draw power, even when they're turned off)
• Install water filters on sinks or use filter pitchers to cut out use of bottled water
• Air-dry dishes that have been washed in a dishwasher rather than using the drying cycle which uses excess energy
• Install motion sensors for lighting in offices/conference rooms
• Turn off lights in offices not occupied
• Cut down on catalogs and junk mail
• Close blinds to keep office cooler and open them to keep office warmer by use of natural sunlight
• Keep HVAC vents clear and unobstructed
• Ensure supplemental HVAC filters are cleaned quarterly
• Purchase used office furniture and recycle old office furniture
• Purchase recycled paper, file folders, and other office supplies
• Upgrade lighting within your space
• When shopping for new office equipment and appliances, choose Energy Star rated products. Shop for all-in-one equipment to reduce energy consumption
