With rising prices and increasing climate concerns, saving energy is on everyone’s minds at the moment! KONE suggests ten ways that you can make your home/building more efficient and energy-conscious whatever your role in the office.

  1. Boost energy efficiency with a quick-fix checklist: easy things to change in your office which all add up, such as adding insulation and harvesting daylight

  2. Not using it? Switch it off!

  3. Switch to standby: save lots of energy and money simply from stopping elevators, escalators and autowalks running when no one is on them

  4. Save money with smart building controls: invest in smart technology which can adjust lighting, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning to make them more energy efficient

  5. See the LED light: replace old halogen lights which are on constantly to LED lights on timers or sensors

  6. Keep future bills down with preventive maintenance: regularly service your equipment to keep them working efficiently and stop them wasting energy from fatigue

  7. Take the stairs: if you can, do! Save energy and stay healthy too

  8. Save energy by modernizing old equipment: update to newer, more energy efficient technology
