In most work/office environments we can make quite dramatic gains in our energy efficiency by simply changing settings, buying more carefully and changing our work habits.
No cost energy saving hints

Switch off all PCs at the end of every day and weekends.

If you going to be away from your computer any longer than 15 minutes switch off your screen.

Make sure all printers and photocopiers are switched off at the end of every day and weekends.

Don’t replace if you can share a printer or copier instead.

Activate sleep or power-down features when possible.
Technical energy saving options with varying cost

Buy energy efficient equipment (Energy Star rated etc).

Use laptop computers wherever practical. They consume between 70-90% less energy than desktop computers.
