Lighting

• Install motion detectors to control lighting in frequently unoccupied areas, such as restrooms and copy rooms.
• Rewire restroom fans to operate with the lights.
• Take advantage of available daylight and turn off lights when not needed.
• Consider removing excess fluorescent lights and installing reflectors.
• Install motion detectors to control lighting in areas that are frequently unoccupied, such as restrooms and copy rooms.
• Remember that dark walls require more power to produce the same amount of light.
• Reduce lighting in areas that need less, such as corridors. This can be as simple as removing tubes from every other fitting.
• Clean light fittings annually. Dirt reduces their output and can lead to extra lights being turned on.
• Install time clocks on outdoor lighting systems so they only operate from dusk to dawn.
