The energy demands of the modern office are constantly increasing with more PCs, monitors, printers, and other IT equipment in use than ever before. Yet the pressure on companies to reduce their carbon footprint is also increasing, both from legislation and from public opinion. Furthermore, companies strive for greater efficiency whilst energy prices are rising.
One area where significant improvements can be achieved is at the office desk. The equipment at a typical desk may include a PC, one or two monitors, a phone charger, task lighting, speakers and so on. In many cases this equipment is left on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week because users do not realise just how much power this equipment is consuming. A significant saving in energy usage can be made by shutting down unused equipment out of hours, leading to lower energy bills and reduced CO2 emissions.
A simple and cost-effective way to achieve this without impacting efficiency or relying on individual users is the Elsave product range from Office Electrics.
Elsave has been developed to provide Facilities Managers with the ability to monitor & control energy use in the office environment, a key element for any business management strategy. The range includes four products designed to suit a variety of requirement and budgets.
