5 Ways To Make Your Office Interiors Eco-Friendly

1. Switch to LED Lighting

LED lights uses 90% less electricity than standard incandescent bulbs. That means you’ll save money on your electric bill, while still being able to enjoy the beautiful glow emitted by these lamps. You can get LED lighting fixtures at any hardware store for around $100-$200 depending on size.

If you don’t want to invest in LED lighting, then go for CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps). These bulbs emit just as much light as LED light bulbs, but last longer and have less power consumption.

Use more natural light in offices for better health and productivity. Natural light is necessary for human health, mental well-being, mood, sleep quality, and more importantly productivity. It can lower costs for things like heating and cooling offices which helps save money in general but also reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuel sources because you can use less electricity in general when there’s natural light coming into an office from windows or skylights.

 2. Use Recycled Paper Towels

Recycling paper towels saves trees and keeps them out of landfills. Instead of using paper towels that end up in the trash, try reusing them. If they’re not completely clean, simply throw them in the dryer on high heat setting for 10 minutes or until thoroughly dried.

Alternatively, you could wipe down surfaces with hand sanitizers instead of paper towels. Hand sanitizers are non-toxic and biodegradable. Just be sure to replace the product after each use.

3. Install Energy Saving Fans

Fans are great tools to help cut down on your energy usage. However, many people leave fans running all day long, even though they aren’t really necessary. Try cutting back on fan usage by turning off fans that are no longer in use. Also, consider buying energy-saving fans. Many retailers offer lower prices on energy-efficient models.

4. Turn Off Computers & Other Electronic Equipment When Not In Active Use

Turning off computers, TVs, stereos, etc. helps reduce energy usage. But, if you do need to keep equipment on for a short period of time, make sure to turn them off before going to sleep, or else it may drain their batteries.

5. Keep Windows Closed

Windows that tend to leak cold air, especially in warmer climates. If possible, keep windows closed to avoid wasting energy. Open windows only when absolutely necessary.
