With you in mind, we have collated 5 of our favourite strategies for you to implement in your financial business.
Manage real-time energy use
The process of checking your real-time energy use can highlight challenges and factors which you may not have seen previously. Factors such as building use, peak usage times and areas for concern can easily be found when checking constantly. By finding this information early, you are able to create a comprehensive and intensive plan to minimise the amount of energy used.
Watch overall energy consumption
As well as watching it in real-time, you will need to see your output on a large scale to see the overall highs and lows. It is beneficial to look at this data on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis to cross-compare data to get the most of out your system. By checking this regularly and statistically, you will be able to pinpoint reasons for these results and determine whether they can be improved in any way.
Store, measure and analyse
As much as you need to watch data, you will need to store, measure and analyse your information so that you are getting the most out of your system. It is good to have historical data on your energy use as you are able to look back and compare to present data, therefore receive a true understanding on how you have progressed to an eco-friendly business. All information can then be used to form a realistic plan.
Have a plan
