To reduce energy costs, try to use your lamps only when and where you need them. Pay close attention to switching off the lights when you are leaving a room. Whenever you can, take advantage of the sunlight and natural sources of light.
Choosing energy-saving light bulbs such as LED or low-wattage bulbs is an important step of reducing your energy costs. To better regulate your energy consumption, you can also invest in motion-activated lighting or dimmable light bulbs, as well.
Computer monitors account for a significant portion of our computers' energy consumption. When you are buying a new monitor, make sure that you choose one with energy efficiency certifications. Plus, don't forget to utilise the sleep mode feature, without the screensaver.
Consider turning off your wireless computer accessories, such as keyboard or mouse, whenever you are not using them. You can also invest in wireless accessories that come with energy efficiency features like sleep mode to ensure that they do not waste any extra energy when they are not being used.
Powerbanks are a must-have if you'd like to keep your devices charged wherever you go. When selecting the right powerbank, pay special attention to energy efficiency of the device to ensure that you get the most out of it.
