Some background information
- A typical week has 168 hours and yet a typical working week is only 38 hours. This leaves 130 hours where your office equipment is consuming energy but is not providing you with any value.
- A typical PC left on 24 hours a day uses £45 or more of energy per year.
- Two-thirds of the energy consumed by office equipment is attributed to computers (PCs and monitors).
- Office equipment accounts for 15% of total energy consumption in the UK. This is estimated to rise by 30% by 2020. 60% of this is being wasted by equipment and appliances left on standby or switched on when not needed.
- 30% of the energy consumed in the UK is wasted; costing businesses millions of pounds in lost revenue every year.
- If left on continuously, a typical vending machine can cost around £120 per year in energy costs
- It is possible to cut lighting bills by up to 30% through energy saving measures.
