Office Equipment

• Look for the ENERGY STAR label when purchasing computers, printers, copiers, fax machines, and other office equipment. The ENERGY STAR label means that the equipment is energy efficient. If you lease equipment, insist on energy efficient models, you are paying the electric bill!
• Turn off office equipment at night. Be sure computers, printers, copiers, and other office equipment is turned off at night, on weekends and at other times when not in use. If the equipment has a power-saver mode, be sure it is enabled. Screen-saver features are designed to protect computer screens, not to save energy.

·       Share equipment. Sharing equipment like printers and copiers reduces idle time, saving energy and equipment cost.
